[edit] Meridian larp

Event that hasn't happened yet, 500-1000 possible participants may not be notable, article sounds more like an advertisement. Tapir Terrific 05:32, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete until after it's happened, at which point numbers/coverage etc will be available to make it notable if it turns out to be. BigHaz 05:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I believe this falls under WP:NOT a crystal ball.
• Delete. not sure about the crystal balling, but this article definitely has an advertising tone. Also, it's 18 Google hits (most of which are either broken or completely unrelated) seem to suggest the event isn't notable enough for wikipedia. tmopkisn ^tlka 06:49, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Well, for a larp, I think 500-1000 participants is kinda notable, actually. You have to take a certain degree of relativity into account here; a thousand larp geeks is a significant gathering, whereas a thousand NASCAR geeks is not. That's just the dynamics of scale. However, that's neither here nro there, because this is way too crystal ballish -- I could see this becoming an article if they're successful (and particularly if it does become a yearly event), but that's going to happen after the event, not before it. We don't even know if there are going to be fifty people there, never mind a thousand. Delete. -- Captain Disdain 06:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per Crystal Ball. "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." Notability depends on the event taking place as planned. It doesn't seem certain and won't be notable until after it has succeeded. I agree with Captain Disdain's comments: if the event actually takes place and sees 500-1000 participants, it may become notable. Scorpiondollprincess 16:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
