[edit] Media source

Have there been any news stories on Firefly? It would be nice to include some secondary sources. If not, I have to ask: is the event notable enough to include in an encyclopedia? VxP 21:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't know, but I've posted a message on Tribe to see. Even if there is no mainstream media coverage don't similar articles set a precedent? Here are some examples, most of which had far fewer attendees:
  1. Recompression - 180 Attendees - 0 listed news stories
  2. EmoTAZ - 47 Attendees - 0 Listed news stories
  3. NoWhere (event) - 140 Attendees - 0 Listed news stories
  4. Playa del Fuego - 850 Attendees - 0 Listed news stories
Further, prior to this article's creation List of regional Burning Man events red linked to this page and Burning Man linked to Firefly's website.
Like Burning Man there is a certain extent the Fireflies would like to limit media exposure. At the same time Burner events are meant to be participant-exclusive, media is thus often unwelcome. ForestJay 05:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Furthermore, 1) this article is actually one of the best from the List of regional Burning Man events; 2) Being "in the news" just means that the mainstream establishment has recognized the event - Wikipedia, being (in a sense) Anarchy in Action doesn't need or necessarily want to follow the establishment.

[edit] Page move?

The title of this page is actually the name of the organizing non-profit group, while the event is just called "Firefly". I suggest this article be renamed Firefly (event) - any objections? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 18:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I've actually had the same thought. There had once been a red link to Firefly (Event). ForestJay 01:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
I think I had put that on List of regional Burning Man events at one point. Not sure. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 04:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
