[edit] Body Pride Ride

Body Pride Ride (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I asked the page creator a couple days ago to find sourcing for this event, and none has been found yet that mention it by name. If none can be found, then the article qualifies for deletion since it is not notable. I will withdraw the nomination if I see that there has been explicit discussion in the media of the event. nadav 09:59, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I have found another source which mentions this event saying:

In 2005, a third naked cycling event, Body Pride Ride (BPR), made its debut, joining the Painted Solstice Cyclists and Seattle WNBR and establishing Seattle as the city with the most annual naked/painted bike rides in the world.[1]

I'm sorry that the online coverage in the SGN in 2005 didn't mention the event by name, but the printed edition did. BPR is not a flash in the pan, and I'm working on finding more "good sources".

Since the AfD flagging, I'm posting my reply here, rather than double posting to the articles discussion page. Right?

The problem seems to be the definition of "good sources". Google finds 186 entries when searching for "body pride ride" + Seattle [2] ranging from other Wikipedia articles [3], Wikia entries [4], a local Seattle paper's website (see link above). Can you clarify what "good sources" requires?

I have a few photos that document the rides, body painting and some en route. Would adding those help establish the existence of this event? Since this is my topic, I guess it's not appropriate for me to say Keep here, but I'm not sure. BodyPride 02:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep Event is a unique and significant addition to clothing-optional cycling events. User:Dandelion (talk|contribs) 00:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to know why this article is being requesting for deletion so soon after critical comments, while other articles flagged simply with {{unreferenced|January 2007}} are not flagged for deletion. Where is a concern like this supposed to be posed? Today I'm adding a {{todo}} to the article. Is there a place to prepare a wiki article "offline" or is "under construction" acceptable?

• Comment You're more than welcome to work on draft copies of articles within your namespace. For instance, you could create the article at User:BodyPride/Body Pride Ride and work on it until it meets WP's notability and sourcing criteria. Caknuck 00:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable event. The ride has only been going on since 2005, and it is unclear if there was one last year. The sources are inadequate, as the SGN link makes no mention of the ride and the Bicycle Paper article only contains a trivial (two sentences). Caknuck 00:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
