[edit] Wafflefest

Prod removed. Prod text was: Not-notable wafflevanityspamcruftisement made up in school one day--Fuhghettaboutit 04:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as nonsense, though its interesting to note that there actually is a relatively notable comedy festival in Texas also called "Wafflefest" [1] (but its clearly different from the festival described in the article nominated for deletion) --TBC??? ??? ??? 05:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Wafflefest is very much a real thing and so are the ideas behind Waffle World. This is event is the creation of a group of people who share the same ideas, passions, and personalities. The idea behind the article was to produce the entire history of the event from its inception to today. People have been requesting the history of Wafflefest, so I have produced it. In my opinon, it is very notable.--MickelMouse87 05:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, non-notable, WP:NFT and WP:VSCA apply. --Kinu t/c 07:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: In the case of the new article about the Austin comedy festival, I'd say no vote... my delete extends only to the original content about the non-notable Wafflefest. --Kinu t/c 08:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per above. --Khoikhoi 08:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: This appears to be the output from a forum, wdwmagic.com. How come they can't host the article, or the history of Wafflefest, on their own site? --Elkman - (talk) 16:49, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: A user has changed the article to point to the comedy festival. You must go to history and open prior version to see the text underlying this AFD vote. --Fuhghettaboutit 17:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I am very disappointed with all of the negativity towards Wafflefest on here. Wafflefest is far from being just something that was made in school one day. It has been in planning for month and has a good following. I'm sorry that you do not see the relevance. I felt that it was interesting thing to share with the world. Do as you wish, but I do not see the harm of restoring the article.--MickelMouse87 03:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep If the local paper writes about it, it should stay here --DragonWR12LB 07:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I'm assuming you're referring to the new version about the Austin comedy festival? --Kinu t/c 08:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment. I'm going to change the article back to the prior version. I think it's too confusing to have an open AFD with the article text not at all what is being voted on. --Fuhghettaboutit 13:28, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
