Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Boardmasters Festival line-ups

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus‎. I'm closing this as No consensus. While there have been improvements made to the article during the course of this discussion and editors voicing their opinion most recently are arguing to Keep, I'm not sure if changes made address the concerns of editors who proposed Deletion. Unfortunately, they have not returned to this discussion to weigh in on this point. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contested WP:BLAR. Article is a huge magnet for WP:FANCRUFT that currently cites only one source. Only verifiable source to back the information is a WP:SPS: the website itself. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 21:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is only 1 source and that does not establish notability. Dympies (talk) 15:33, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Largely unsourced. Zakaria ښه راغلاست (talk) 22:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although largely unsourced at the moment, it is clear that enough sources do exist to sustain this page (I've already managed to reference the first two years, and it's obvious to me from a quick internet search that there will be sources for other years too). It being potential fancruft does not speak to whether it should be deleted - notability is established by the reliable sources which exist elsewhere. Overall, yes, this page is poorly written, but I think that's a surmountable problem. I'll keep cleaning it up in the meantime, but I do think this one's worth keeping.

Delete per nom. This isn't Woodstock by a long shot. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:37, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Now that the self-published source has been removed and better sources are being added, I think this discussion should primarily focus on whether the subject is notable (i.e. by assessing the sources). WP:FANCRUFT itself is not a rationale for deletion. Gazamp (talk) 11:44, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per the improvements by @Gazamp, there are many WP:RS discussing the line-ups of the notable Boardmasters Festival - and the content may be due it's own page per WP:SPINOFF. ResonantDis_tortion 07:55, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: now that work has been done on adding improved sources I don't see it would be controversial for this article to stay. Editing84 (talk) 19:19, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep, this list definitely can be verified, and deletion is not cleanup. The question is whether this information should exist on the wiki at all, and IMO it should. It's no more crufty than e.g. comprehensive record label discographies, of which there are plenty. Mach61 18:22, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
