Talk:List of hot air balloon festivals

message: I just cleaned up this article, and reorganized the balloon festivals in a single table by the year they started, starting with the earliest. The location and the website for the festival is also included as well. I also did not link to non-existant wiki-pages, so as balloon festivals gain wiki pages, we can link to them as well.

replies: text: It is generally more useful to sort such tables by the name of the main column, in this case, the name of the festival. The year each festival began is of lesser importance than the name of the festival. I am not going to take the time now to re-arrange the table, even though I just added another entry to it (Longview's Great Texas Balloon Race). I can't believe no one included that!

replies: text: That page is a disambiguation page, for now.   I believe the intro to the current page should explain that there are different types of festivals  (fun, competititve, and mixed ones),  and that "balloon fiesta" is a term commonly used. Let's find references first. --Jordiferrer (talk) 16:36, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: I have changed the format of the table to sortable. This way it is very easy to click on a column header, and see data sorted by that column,  be it year, or festival name, etc.   
*I would also propose to now split the current column "Location" to 2 columns named "City" and "Country".  This way we will be able to sort by country.    Or, since US states are also there, would it be better to use 3 columns: "City" , "State" and "Country" ? --Jordiferrer (talk) 15:19, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Hot air balloon festival →  – Apart from the gallery of images at the end, this is and has always been a textbook WP:STANDALONE list article. Lord Belbury (talk) 12:06, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

text: *Support as per nominator and JIP. I would further support a heavy trim to the list to remove those festivals which do not have their own Wikipedia article and therefore may not be worthy of mention. Otherwise these lists become magnets for train/balloon/aicraft/bus-spotters and their likes. 10mmsocket (talk) 20:23, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
