Non-notable carnival at Iowa State. I'm sure it's fun, but it's not even close to being notable. No third party sources to show notability. GrapedApe (talk) 03:33, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Aren't there adequate sources? --Bonkers The Clown (talk) 07:01, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- They are all either WP:SELFPUB or sources connected to the university. These fail WP:GNG, which requires a demonstration of multiple third party sources on the topic. The University ones, while they may be reliable, are not third party sources. See the "nutshell" of WP:N, which states that notability requires that the subject has "gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large." A college newspaper reporting on a college parade isn't sufficient for that standard. If it were, every single tiny club at a university would be notable, because college newspapers report on everything--GrapedApe (talk) 11:29, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep – This topic certainly passes WP:GNG: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Also, per WP:NRVE, topic notability is about the availability of significant coverage in reliable sources, and not based upon whether or not sources are present in articles.

- Keep Please follow WP:BEFORE to avoid pointless AFDs and the problem of notable articles being deleted by mistake. Significant coverage has been found. Dream Focus 05:14, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
