Not a notable event. Local coverage of a fundraiser for rescue dogs. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:12, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Could this possibly be merged to Salty Dog Paddle? – The Grid (talk) 20:56, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It has been mentioned in magazines and draw attention of Dog lovers and celebrities, so I thought it is a good contribution but I leave it to experts to decide. Thanks 'The Grid' for this idea. BananasReborn (talk) 22:45, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Cleaned up text and added sources to meet Wikipedia acceptable standards. I believe it reads to be a substantive subject now. ClintonCimring (talk) 15:26, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, article history shows that Clintoncimring, who has a highly-focused editing history around Salty Dog Paddle, made the recent changes to this article. ClintonCimring has an interesting SPI/COIN history, though. Which one are you? Bakazaka (talk) 05:05, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A good candidate for CheckUser. – The Grid (talk) 15:05, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:PROMO. The sources are either primary (Salty Dog Paddle site), routine local announcements (Palm Beach Post announcement, duplicated for effect), local admag photo galleries (Jupiter), actual news releases (Newswire) or about guests but not the actual event (Maxim, IMDb). It's promotion. The article is promotion. Wikipedia is not a means of promotion. If someone wants to add non-promotional info to the Salty Dog Paddle article they can do that, but there isn't encyclopedic content here to merge, so there's no good reason to keep the editing history.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Sounds like a good cause, but that has no bearing on notability. Promotional, and lacking in reliable, independent sources. Fails WP:EVENTCRITERIA. Jmertel23 (talk) 02:19, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
