Spring 2008 New York Fashion Week: The New York Fashion Week topic as a whole is notable, but don't see anything that makes the 2008 edition independently notable.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 22:49, 5 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete both as failing WP:GNG .  LibStar ( talk ) 23:08, 5 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : it cites seven sources, so passes GNG.  With sporting events, we have articles on both the competitions as a whole and the individual events (e.g., Men's FIH Hockey World Cup and 1971 Men's Hockey World Cup ).  Why should we not do the same for fashion events?  Furius ( talk ) 06:12, 9 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS .  The sources are mainly fashion industry so not independent.  LibStar ( talk ) 09:45, 9 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is to take a very broad definition of "independent".  Sources for sporting events are mainly sports journalism, so not independent either.  Furius ( talk ) 14:42, 9 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Also, this isn't so.  The sources include the Daily Telegraph and The Washington Post.  These are not fashion industry publications.  Furius ( talk ) 14:44, 9 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Some of the links are dead so I cannot view them, but they are dated to 2007, so I do not know how they contribute to notability for the 2008 event.  Natg 19 ( talk ) 15:35, 9 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] As stated in the first sentence of the lead, the event took place in 2007.

Thanks, ✗ plicit 23:31, 19 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep This article is an excellent snapshot of a moment in time and could easily be expanded.  Extensive coverage in The Guardian , Vogue , Slant Magazine , The Cut .  To clarify for @ Natg 19 , Spring/Summer fashion weeks happen in the fall prior.  So 2008 spring fashion week would take place in fall 2007.  It would be nice if editors would work to expand fashion articles they see as unfinished rather than dismissing them and nominating them for deletion.  Computer-ergonomics ( talk ) 19:03, 24 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Additionally @ Natg 19 WikiProject_Fashion uses Fall 2008 fashion weeks and, by extension, List of fall 2008 New York Fashion Week fashion shows (as it is linked in the article) as a way to anchor the project and add designers and brands to Wikipedia.  It would be detrimental to the project to delete these articles; they are some of the only articles archiving fashion that we have.

Thanks, Seraphimblade Talk to me 14:15, 27 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Analysis of the proposed additional sources would be very helpful in determining what to do.  Seraphimblade Talk to me 14:16, 27 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep Slant and the Cut are actual articles about the event, the Guardian and the rest are photos of the outfits, with no critical analysis.  Seems ok, I don't think the event was ground-breaking, but it's covered.  Oaktree b ( talk ) 15:00, 27 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per prior comments.  Fashion weeks (and this one is no exception) attract significant news coverage.  There also are reviews of individual collections shown during fashion week (typically each collection is reviewed by multiple sources) so if we count those toward notability, which I think we should since generally individual collections do not have articles, you will be well over the minimum coverage required for an article.
