Keep Oh, WP:HEY, I ran a couple of searches, added a couple of sources, it's been covered in the New Hampshire and Boston papers for over a century now. I think we have space for this fair that's been held every year since 1909. Article needs improvement.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:39, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I would ask users to have a look at the altered form, as well as a specific reminder that all !votes need justifications to be valid.

Weak Keep - I was hoping this was going to be a celebration of hoagies, grinders, PBJs, and grilled cheese, since I've spent some time not far from there and had never heard of Sandwich, NH. Ah well. There look to be some decent sources about it available online, and given it's been going on for a century, it's pretty likely there's more. Not a clear-cut GNG win, but there's enough, I think, to justify keeping. I've removed a big block of unsourced promotional text about the specifics of the 4-H's involvement. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:27, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Appears to meet WP:GNG / WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:AUD having received regional level, independent news coverage that appears to be significant. My !vote has the caveat of "appears" stated because I am unable to access the sources that were added to the article after the deletion nomination, as they are on ProQuest.
