I'm unsure about this one. There's a number of COI contributions ... how well known must a festival become before we list it. Some googling convinced me that this is not very noticeable, but YMMV Tagishsimon (talk) 22:33, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Zero hits from Google News (all dates checked) [1] -- appears to lack non-trivial references from third party publications, failing WP:V policy. coccyx bloccyx(toccyx) 22:36, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • keep: It is as equally notable as numerous other small-town festivals (see Lists the appropriate lists page). Now, I may be one sided but I've even edited out other indivudals NPOV edits and junk. Its one of the largest regional draws around the tri state area. THat doesn't mean anything to you if you aren't in the area, but that doesn't mean it isn't notable to a group of people. However, once again, I may indeed be POV on the subject, and take that into account.Hooper (talk) 00:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
  • delete as it stands the article fails on assertion of notability and verifiability(no reliable 3rd party sourcing, I'm sure decent regional newspaper coverage would suffice). I'd say keep if the sources could be provided and verified and perhaps if the "sponsored" by stuff was removed some of the COI/POV issues would begin to get addressed.

  • Delete Paducah, Kentucky, is a mid-size town, but even small towns have events where "local and underground artists" can perform at a park, civic center auditorium, etc. Worth a mention in an article about Paducah, perhaps, but not in the level of detail mentioned here. I'm sorry, nobody really cares about the 2007 highlight where the drummer for a local band yelled "I'm not playing another God damn song until these kids are allowed to dance!".
