List of Burlesque festivals[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Long, indiscriminate list of festivals with no WP:LISTCRITERIA for inclusion. Currently links to six articles about festivals, of which four appear to be notable (NY, Seattle, New Orleans, and Chicago). A standalone festival list is practically guaranteed to be a spam magnet like this one. The very few notable entries could be merged to a short list section in Burlesque.

comment Looking at the main article on burlesque, it covers considerable territory, to the point where I have to doubt until shown otherwise that non-American examples represent the same sort of thing. The four linked festivals appear to represent Neo-Burlesque specifically, so that's where they should be mentioned if the list goes away. Mangoe (talk) 18:01, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge notable entries into the relevant main article. Wikipedia is not a directory, and if you prune this back to notable events it's small enough that it doesn't need a stand-alone article. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:03, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: there are not enough significant festivals to support a list for the topic; as others have said, any useful content belongs at Neo-Burlesque or Burlesque. — Bilorv_(c)(talk) 01:32, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
