I have added an important secondary source to the article in support of the Krewe of Armeinius page. I hope this will help. Nilbogg (talk) 17:16, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have found and added some more references, and I think that the subject does meet WP:GNG. The book Unveiling the Muse certainly does have significant coverage of this krewe, as does the New Orleans Advocate article, and other articles include relevant information. I think that the article could use some editing - it doesn't really have a lede paragraph, and I'm not sure that so much background info is necessary when there is a WP article about krewes (but I have more experience with biographies than other kinds of article, so I may be wrong).

If the article is not kept, then it should not be deleted - even if this krewe is not considered notable on its own, the gay krewes in New Orleans certainly are, so a combined article on all of them would be preferable to deletion - but I believe that they are notable, this one certainly, so it should be kept.

Keep per sources added during this discussion, (and Note that we do, unsurprisingly, have a large number of articles on these peculiar New Orleans institutions.) E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:02, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

I ran a Proquest news archive searches, copous WP:SIGCOV going back decades, including enough reviews to give that film a page, and some of the reviews have SIGCOV of this krewe. Frankly, this was a WP:BEFORE fail, although it may not be entirely the fault of Nom, who may not have access to news archive searches.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:27, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
