[edit] Picture
If anybody could upload a better, free-license image of the Hash Bash, please add it. The current one is a mobile phone image that was edited to look better, but it can only look so good. Thanks! --Daisuke0kun 15:11, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- I dunno, the blurry image seems appropriate 83.70.30.82 21:30, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

- Maybe to make an artistic commentary, but since this is an encyclopedia, a better picture would probably be preferable.Crito2161 22:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

- Next year I'll get a much better photo, but that'll (understandably) be a while. Until then though, could anybody that knows someone who got a photo convince them to allow it to be shown here or release it under a wiki-compatible license? That would be wonderful.Daisuke0kun 06:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I have updated the photo - still, if anybody sees another free-licensed image that would be better for this page, go ahead and replace the current one. 68.41.55.97 15:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Information from "BBC Article"
I deleted the excerpts which make up the second half of the page. For one, I don't think that simply copying and pasting sections like this is appropriate for Wikipedia. For another, the information is written in a manner that violates WP:NPOV. Most importantly, if one clicks on the link, it is not in fact from an actually article from BBC but from H2G2, an encyclopedic wiki. Therefore, it is definitely not a viable source for the article (see WP:RS#Bulletin_boards.2C_wikis_and_posts_to_Usenet). Crito2161 22:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notable outside Ann Arbor
Hash Bash is notable outside Ann Arbor so the current notice of deletion because it is notable only in Ann Arbor is not valid. I arrived in US in 2003 and I had heard about the event before coming here. Even considering that millions of UM alumni and families are familiar with the event (with fond memories I imagine) and are distributed across the world makes this a very notable and well known event. I strongly oppose any move to delete the article.
- Simply because it occurs in A2 is not suitable grounds for deletion. Other events, notably the Mummers Parade in Philly, have articles. If the problem is content-based, or needs more content, that's fine. But simply because it is a locality-based page is not suitable grounds for deletion.

- The article has been nominated for deletion because it is not notable outside Ann Arbor. However, the event is notable outside Ann Arbor, and is of broader historical/cultural interest for several reasons, including: A.) its catalyzing role in broader battles over marijuana legalization in left-leaning U.S. college towns in the early 1970s (see Marijuana laws in Ann Arbor, Michigan); and B.) its creation as part of the widely noted struggle to free poet/activist John Sinclair from prison, which drew support from a number of nationally noted figures including John Lennon and Bobby Seale. If this is a vote for deletion, I vote to keep the article (although it could use quite substantial improvements as of 17 Dec. 2006). Ropcat 06:36, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
