Unnotable event. Fails WP:N. Prod removed by the article creator without any comment. Nothing in the article reflects any relevance or importance for this event, and it is purely sourced by the event's own website. Searches through Google News shows only blog posts and press releases. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 15:58, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does appear to be a minor regional festival with only minimal local media coverage. --DAJF (talk) 03:16, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I find coverage from Asahi Shimbun (major national), Chugoku Shimbun (large regional) Hiroshima Keizai Shimbun (local unknown) and Rurubu (travel guide maker). --Apoc2400 (talk) 21:22, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So one minor "national" paper and that's all? That is still a minor festival. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Information from Japan: Asahi Shinbun is the biggest and most popular newspaper here. The festival is local, but is a major tourist attraction of the area; it lasts 2 months a year and is regular. Given many foreign tourists visit Hiroshima, my vote is keep, but I wouldn't fight till blood on this one :-). Materialscientist (talk) 10:02, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? You're saying keep per the nominator and its being relisted??-- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:56, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lol! Sorry, I seriously need to go to sleep. I've misread not one, but two editor names. Corrected above, it's that in the editor I've been looking hastily at the signatures above the asterisk. --Cyclopia ^talk 02:04, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, and I thought I was doing bad while high on cold meds ;-) -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 02:13, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Between this Google search and this Google news search, I can find pretty much the same kind of references this article has for the Smoky Hill River Festival that is held in my hometown. In other words, I agree with DAJF (and Collectionian) above. Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 16:34, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
