replies: text: Yes, this is just a group of friends with an inflated sense of the importance of their own fun and games. There's absolutely no way this merits an article. It has no cultural significance and should definitely be deleted. Palefire (talk) 11:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Strongly disagree. Winning Radio 1's "Best British Festival" isn't just something your average street fair manages. It's a festival drawing something like 10,000 people by now. Although I do agree the tone of the article isn't exactly encyclopedic. Will sort that in the next couple of days. noisy jinx huh? 20:38, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

text: Is the "Forthcoming events" section not just advertising?  Giving details of the Box Office is marketing isn't it?Informed Owl (talk) 09:24, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Notability was not the issue.  The issue was the fact that the article read like an advert.  You have deleted that content.  The question now of course is whether the subject of this article is of sufficient notability to warrant inclusion on Wikipedia. The Google link you post only takes that argument so far.

replies: text: The article had the  tag on it, so someone thought notability was an issue, but you're right that the main problem was that it read like an advert. What do you mean by your statement that the Google link "only takes that argument so far"? WP:GNG states that a topic is notable if it "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". The link clearly establishes that, as do the references in the article as it now stands. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:57, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

message: As is stands, this article is nothing more than a list of the acts who have appeared at this festival each year.  While it has moved away from the obvious self publicity of its early drafts, the aticle needs either a drastic rewrite or deletion.  WP:SOAP Informed Owl (talk) 14:23, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The recent vandalism where someone claiming to have been a visitor at an event complained about it perhaps shows the dangers of pages which are in effect publicity for a commercial enterprise!Informed Owl (talk) 10:16, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Time for a drastic rewrite or deletion?

message: Having deleted blatant advertising (a link to the box office), I still wonder what purpose this article serves.  It is little more than a list of people who have attended an annual event.  Informed Owl (talk) 08:30, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
