Hello,

I questioned at German-languaged Wikipedia (deWP) if it makes sense to create articles "Festivals by year" and the result was quite positive so I started creating an article about 2012s Warped Tour edition. I searched the world wide web for some reliable sources and I found articles in Alternative Press, Rock Sound, Billboard, the New York Times (festival review), Hollywood Reporter, the Mountain Weekly News (festival review), Phoenix New Times (festival review) and Examiner (festival review), alongside other sources. I contacted the user who deleted the article User:Randykitty ( see here). So here are my sources I used:

• • Alternative Press
• Alternative Press 1
• Alternative Press 2
• Alternative Press 3
• Alternative Press 4
• Alternative Press 5
• Alternative Press 6
  • Rock Sound
• Rock Sound
  • Billboard
• Billboard 1
  • Examiner
• www.examiner.com/article/vans-warped-tour-2012-kick-off-party-and-concert-set-for-thurs-march-29
• www.examiner.com/review/review-van-warped-tour-hartford-2012
  • Hollywood Reporter
• Hollywood Reporter 1
  • Phoenix New Times
• Phoenix New Times 1
  • New York Times
• New York Times 1
  • Mountain Weekly News
• Mountain Weekly News
  • Under the Gun Review
• Under the Gun Review 1
  • Alter the Press!
• Alter the Press! 1

So, for the 2012s edition of Warped Tour are enough reliable sources available on my opinion. What do you think? Best wishes! -- Goroth ( talk) 14:11, 7 September 2014 (UTC) reply

• Stupid question perhaps but you do realise this isn't the DE wiki and that the individual wikis are "managed" completely independently? I'd have thought asking the relevant projects here would be more indicative for the appetite for such an article. That said the deletion was apparently based on coverage so perhaps improved coverage would help. Ultimately though part of the choice on standalone or not is editorial, so I'd have thought the best place to start with this would be expanding the coverage in the main article, if it becomes too much then a standalone article might be appropriate. As to the sources, most of the ones I clicked on are of the may as well be press release types, so I doubt would be particularly welcomed. I also note you use examiner.com as a source, which can't be linked properly as it's on the spam blacklist, that should perhaps tell you something about the perceived quality there... -- 86.2.216.5 ( talk) 19:10, 7 September 2014 (UTC) reply

• Move this question to Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous). It is not seeking the review of a deletion. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 01:38, 12 September 2014 (UTC) reply

• Weak endorse. I don't understand SmokeyJoe's statement that this is not seeking review of a deletion. The request wasn't phrased very well, but clearly Goroth is asking that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Warped Tour 2012 be reversed. Looking at the AfD, I suspect I would have closed it as No Consensus, but I don't think the Delete closure is so far out of line that it warrants being overturned. FWIW, had I participated in the original discussion, I probably would have !voted Delete. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:03, 14 September 2014 (UTC) reply
• Endorse As arguments to overturn a discussion go, "I asked at a different wiki and they said it was okay" is about as weak as it is possible to get without mentioning something that happened in a dream. The really encyclopedic part is who played that year, which is covered in List of Warped Tour lineups by year. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:56, 15 September 2014 (UTC) reply
