Ineligible for PROD as it was de-PROD'd in 2008. Ironically, I was apparently the original PRODder, although given that it was nearly 10 years ago I honestly did not remember (and my bad for not checking before PROD'ing again). De-PROD rationale at the time was "removed prod press coverage seems to indicate reasonable notability so this should be discussed at AFD before deletion".

Per my most recent PROD, it is very difficult to find sources owing to the generic name, but even with "Melbourne" added, there were no results showing that this single event passes WP:GNG. No WP:LASTING effect or outcome either - no indication that it was ever held again, or that any policies, customs, or laws were ever created or changed as a result that would indicate a lasting impact. ♠ PMC(talk) 00:59, 27 April 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Undecided Using google search with "The Big Switch Off" -wikipedia november 2006 -"The Big Switch Off is an independent environmental campaign launched in Melbourne" looks as though it might be throwing up some relevant references, but I have not checked them.
