and '''Comment'''. The |notability guidelines for events clearly address notability in light of geographical scope. Even the summary states that "An event is presumed to be notable if it receives significant, non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time. Coverage should be in multiple reliable sources with national or global scope." Reliable sourcing is not the only criteria that we consider when evaluating notability. The guidelines go further, "In evaluating an event, editors should evaluate various aspects of the event and the coverage: the impact, depth, duration, geographical scope, diversity and reliability of the coverage, as well whether the coverage is routine." Note that the msn.ca is the local Guelph news site and a mirror of the local news from http://www.guelphmercury.com, and in this case, is a press release masquerading as an independent source. The first source from ''Guelph Mercury'' focuses not on the festival, but on the impact or lack of impact the senior adults have in the LGBT community. The second source is the student newspaper from the University of Guelph, offering a winter event report by committee members of the Guelph Pride organization. The third source is (as previously stated) the msn.ca mirror of the press release from the local newspaper. The May 29, 2009 source from ''Xtra!'' is merely a community calendar (address, time, tickets at the door). The second source from Xtra! was also published on May 29, 2003, which was the festivals first year. While I am unable to verify content, I would surmise that the article, entitled, "It takes a village to raise a Pride" is likely a commemorative community calendar of the inaugural event and festivities. I am unable to verify the May 27, 2008 article from the ''Guelph Mercury'' entitled "Pride Week takes flight in city; Mayor on hand to fly rainbow flag" is likely akin to the May 7, 2013, kickoff article, "Pride flag hoisted at Guelph city hall to officially launch Pride Week". I'm unable to verify the May 29, 2006, article in ''The Record'', entitled, "Pride picnic revival planned", but it appears to announce a picnic of sorts. I found the ''Chatham This Week'' article http://eedition.chathamthisweek.com/doc/Chatham-This-Week/ctw/2011120601/15.html#15, but it the focus of the article is on the exhibit at the Thames Art Gallery entitled "A Queer Archive". It doesn't mention the festival, however, it peripherally mentions the Pride committee, as well as "Out On A Shelf" (a project at the Guelph library), acknowledging the committee and library project for donations to the gallery. Honestly, I don't see much here to support or establish notability. Best regards
