Article about a neighbourhood festival, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing our notability standards for events. The notability claim here is that the event existed, and the referencing is a mixture of primary sources (its own self-published Instagram and Facebook profiles, etc.) that aren't support for notability at all, and hyperlocal neighbourhood weeklies that don't meet the wide coverage test in WP:ORGDEPTH. There's just nothing here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have more than just a smattering of local interest coverage. Bearcat (talk) 20:39, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – fails WP:EVENTCRIT. There's no sign of any substantial coverage outside of the Ottawa area, and the event doesn't seem to have had any lasting effects. Wikipedia is not news, and certainly not ephemeral local news. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:35, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
