Declined PROD. There is no WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE after the event. The article contains a grand total of zero references after the concert, and I couldn't find any others. wumbolo ^^^ 22:08, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Notable concert. I think is is too early to establish that the concert did not recive continued coverage as the concert has not yet reached its 1 year anniversary, which is the moment these events are most likely to resurface in the press. I have added one source for this event from July 2018, listing it as part of Ariana Grande's history of polical activism. Emass100 (talk) 20:13, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep - pretty big benefit concert with A-list lineup, including DMB, Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande, Pharrell Williams, etc. It doesn't seem appropriate to merge with the Unite the Right rally article. —Мандичка^YO 😜 19:56, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:GNG. WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE gives special inclusion criteria for keeping events which fail to meet GNG, and is not a guide listing reasons to delete topics which otherwise pass GNG. The sources cited are extraordinary coverage for a concert. These publications are to a national audience for a small town event, and they explain the event in far more detail than a typical concert would normally be explained, and the sources assign meaning to this beyond what is typical to ascribe to a concert. My guess is that fewer than 1 in 10,000 concerts would get coverage comparable to this. Making a Wikipedia article for such a well covered and unusual event seems aligned with Wikipedia precedent.
