[edit] CSD

I think this CSD nomination is inappropriate. The article is well-organized, the subject is notable, and sources are provided.  Frank  |  talk  19:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

• As the creator of this article, I agree the tag is erroneous. The article is ineligible for CSD A7 with sources from The New York Times and The Daily News. MrPrada (talk) 19:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
• Agree it should be kept. Itsmejudith (talk) 19:55, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm unsure this qualifies as notable. There is a lack of significant coverage of the topic, and there are errant/unsupported claims made. There are hundreds of such events in the country. It's claimed in the article that this is the largest event of its kind in the US, which is factually incorrect (the Midwest Renewable Energy Association Fair is), and the stated source does not confirm this claim either. The links are questionable, as there is substantial commercial content on them. I think DMOZ, the open directory, would better site from which to link this event.--E8 (talk) 20:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

• Then the appropriate place for you to take this would be prod (which I will decline), and then AfD. CSD A7 is incorrect. MrPrada (talk) 20:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Request withdrawn. The NYT article did not support the "largest" claim. Was that from another one of the sources?--E8 (talk) 20:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Yes, it was from another website. After careful reading I think it was a bit of an exaggerated claim on their part. There are numerous sources for this, I will try and get some others up. MrPrada (talk) 20:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
      • Ok, nice work. Apologies for not noticing your recent construction and templating you :/. I've reverted all related changes I made.--E8 (talk) 20:15, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
        • That's alright, I should have placed a {{underconstruction}} tag at the top of the page. Thank you for patrolling new pages, hopefully we can contribute and take this stub and make it even better. MrPrada (talk) 20:17, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
