The subject of the article is not notable. There are Hallowe'en parades in small towns in many countries. Article created by banned user and previously tagged with {{unreliable sources}}. — O'Dea (talk) 21:03, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete To be honest, I hate deleting articles like this simply because they are cultural events, and to me that is what makes Wikipedia so unique, useful and entertaining. The problem is, all I can find is references from the Atlanta Journal (pay), which are reliable, but they are just listings of events, not significant coverage. It is a smallish event, 35,000 people, so I guess no major paper has taken the time to cover it. Normally, I would rather live with less than stellar sources and let it grow (it isn't like it is advertising, or a resume bio) but if the user is banned, that is enough to speedy delete. Maybe someone can talk USA Today or another major rag to cover it and someone can recreate it. This held in Atlanta (4.7 million people), so I wouldn't call it the typical small town event, but if the local media won't cover it better than they have, then it isn't notable as an event for our purposes.

Delete They may be of local interest, but they just don't fit into a general encyclopedia. Regional or local wikis are the way to go for this sort of material. DGG ( talk ) 02:46, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
