Notability not established, PROMO and NTEMP, maybe some COATRACK and RECENTISM. WP:PROMO: the whole effort was spearheaded by a creative agency (Oniracom), who also released the albums on their own label (founded by one of the agency partners, who also produced the albums). Despite the background, it does not appear that the agency was founded solely for the purpose of this festival, as they are definitely still around and doing business. I'd also note that this article was written by a paid editor, and ~~despite the claim that it was not paid work,~~ the agency was certainly the client - it wasn't the festival, and it wasn't Jack Johnson who requested the article, and it's honestly below the threshold for something one would just find seven years later. There's also WP:NTEMP issues ("coverage only in one context over for one event"), because this was only a one-time event, and the albums seem like a separate item entirely. WP:COATRACK, because even though I cleaned it up, the article still sounds like it's advertising the company instead of dealing with the event, largely because the nature of the activity makes the company inseparable from the event. I also think that because this was an event in 2007, there were a lot of people writing about it online even though it was a local event. The article on Jack Johnson doesn't even mention his participation in this, so a lot of it feels "tacked-on" here. MSJapan (talk) 17:20, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, boy this is a pretty fascinating and textbook case of WP:Boomerang. Anyway, while we do see a couple of Ghits from the local Santa Barbara paper for the event and "Jacob Tell, CEO of creative marketing agency Oniracom," and there's some minor mentions around the release of an album, the whole thing falls well short of our notability guidelines.

Delete. aas promotional. Singularly poor references, so probably not notable as well. DGG ( talk ) 19:47, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
