[edit] Zippie Picnic

Nomination for deletion Unable to verify encyclopedic notability . Possibly no encyclopedic notability. All I can find is a few google hits for mainly more recent "Zippy picnics" on websites which do not meet reliable source (WP:RS) standards[1] and this Ebay item[2] is the only relevant hit for "Zippie Picnic". So fails WP:V altogether at the moment. If this really can be shown to be an encyclopedically notable and verifiable event during the Second Summer of Love, then great. I salute the late 20th century UK counterculture and I salute lovely Hampstead Heath. But at the moment, it's not looking good. Bwithh 02:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I did do a Factiva database run, but there were no relevant hits for this event during the period it was supposed to take place Bwithh 03:08, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Article does not prove notability; few Google hits; little information anywhere about this. I would say it was a pinhead article, but I'm afraid somebody wouldn't get the pun and would nag at me for contravening WP:CIVIL. --Charlene 02:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment it's Zippy Picnic as [3] and somewhere in [4], and seems to have turned into an annual event --Steve 04:44, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I pointed that out in my nomination, but I as say above, these are not reliable sources. Bwithh 14:30, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
