Melbourne International Festival of Brass[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

fails WP:GNG. a non notable event that only gets 7 gnews hits in over 7 years of existence [1]. none of the coverage is international indicating this is hardly a widely recognised international event. LibStar (talk) 02:03, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - How, if it has seven gnews hits, can you say that it fails WP:GNG? Having seven gnews hits is usually prima facie evidence of passing the GNG. Admittedly, the ABC one is just a radio playlist (insignificant), and the SMH one is a trivial mention, but two of the Age articles definitely pass the "significant coverage" threshold. The article needs improvement, not deletion. --Yeti Hunter (talk) 03:51, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

simple, it purports to be a major festival attracting international acts but averages one news story a year, most of which merely confirms its existence. that is hardly significant, if it started in 2010 and had 7 gnews hits, then perhaps. LibStar (talk) 04:44, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The GNG doesn't specify any minimum temporal density of reliable secondary sources - it sets the bar at one. You'll have to argue something other than GNG if you don't think this article should be kept.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 02:24, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Agree with Yeti hunter article needs improvement not deletion. Seven Gnews hits doesnt equal to it failing WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:18, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no evidence of notability has been presented.--Grahame (talk) 01:34, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Also concur with Yeti hunter article needs improvement and not deletion. It is poorly written, lacks external links to other music festivals in the City of Melbourne.--Whiteguru (talk) 10:19, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't evidence linking it significantly with other festivals, it lacks coverage and we don't create articles which average one article every year of existence. LibStar (talk) 13:41, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
