I'm not aware of any general consensus that  excludes substantial, unusual annual events solely because they are of mainly local interest. Based on the press reports, D-Fest has become a big deal: I don't think 140 bands, 60,000 people, a bunch of notable speakers and panelists, and a multiyear track record is the sort of ''|"run of the mill"'' local event for which arguably one might find an exclusionary consensus. I found the Wikipedia talk:Notability (local interests)|discussion page of the ''proposed'' guideline Wikipedia talk:Notability (local interests) instructive on this point: the proposals for hard-and-fast requirements of non-local sources have met with fairly overwhelming opposition. Having said this, I'd certainly agree that the article does need more specific sourcing from reliable sources, and the long, long lists of every single band and every single panelist don't need to be there--some highlights (duly sourced) will do just fine.  Here are a few more Tulsa and Oklahoma City sources; please note the references in a number of these to the festival's evolution from small-time to big-time.http://www.tulsaworld.com/scene/article.aspx?subjectid=269&articleid=20090610_270_D8_RcadRo386149&allcom=1http://www.journalrecord.com/article.cfm?recid=99476http://www.ktul.com/news/stories/0609/630271.htmlhttp://www.newsok.com/article/3094193/http://www.gtrnews.com/greater-tulsa-reporter/3845/dfest-evolves-into-world-class-eventhttp://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=11&articleid=20080726_11_A1_hDFEST540169&archive=yes  This one from 2008 calls it "Oklahoma's largest music conference and festival."http://www.tulsaworld.com/scene/article.aspx?subjectid=269&articleid=20080724_270_D3_spancl532469&archive=yes
