Greek Fest

I don't really know that this article is of value here, so I'm putting it here to see what the Wiki community thinks. Potentially POV and vanity, but I'm not sure, and it doesn't bear the telltale "we"/"us"/etc. that most self-written vanity sections have.

• Delete unless it can be made encyclopedic, but I don't really see how. Vegaswikian 06:11, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I read the latest changes and my previous position is basically unchanged. Drop the last part and you have a wikitonary entry not a wikipedia one. The disambig suggested below somehow needs to be addressed. Vegaswikian 05:17, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• A Greek Fest is a festival attended by Greeks, amongst others. Apart from telling us where it is held, this article tells us nothing about the festival at all. This article comprises no more, and indeed somewhat less, than what one would find on a paper flyer pinned at the roadside advertizing such a festival. Burning Man this isn't. It's not even Saint Sophia's Greek Fest, The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church's annual Greek Fest, the Charleston Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity Greek Fest or (saving the domain name owner until last) the Greek Orthodox Community of St. George's GreekFest. As it currently stands, Delete. Uncle G 13:56, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)

  Don't those links and others like them suggest that there's something to have an article about?

yeah I sort of also don't understand the logic behind using those links as evidence of NOT keeping it... they are just the opposite, evidence that the article should stay and be expanded Argyrios Saccopoulos 04:58, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete or disambig between frat party and Greek culture festival, neither of which probably exists. --SPUI (talk) 15:56, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep at Greek festival. Orthodox churches all over the US have annual Greek Fests, and call them that. Gazpacho 19:15, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, replace with redirect to festival. Radiant_* 10:52, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
• redirect it maybe that sounds ok Yuckfoo 00:55, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • redirect to what? Kingturtle 07:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. So what if it is a stub now. give it time. Kingturtle 07:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• keep again. This happens alot? Maggie311 09:17, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• keep Why you gotta hate on the Greeks? Seriously though, I've been to a couple of these and there is no excuse for deleting such an article, even if it is a stub atm. Argyrios Saccopoulos 18:05, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• keep It's encyclopedic. STUBS SHOULD NOT BE DELETED BUT EXPANDED. --Eleassar777 22:11, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
