Keep Yes, the article's tone and style are problems, but considering the amount of coverage to meet WP:GNG and WP:ORG we might think it more a matter for clean-up than for deletion. 00:55, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

But when you check Google News, you see only 24 hits (13, in effect), while the 16k normal Google hits boil down to a mere 120 hits. The Banner talk 02:08, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. Are you invoking GHITS? It explains "...a lack of search engine hits may only indicate that the topic is highly specialized..." and "the quality of the search engine results matters more than the raw number." We do not expect a Pensacola festival to be covered by Times of London and WP:N does not say we need hundreds or even dozens of citations to satisfy inclusion criteria. WP:ORG is met.

Interesting to see that this kind of reasoning is never or at least seldom used when discussing a non-USA subject. The Banner talk 18:45, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Does the article need clean-up? Yes. Does it need footnotes instead of a list of citations? Of course. Should an editor go in with a chainsaw and prune those giant lists of names? You bet. But does the article cross the verifiability and notability thresholds with cited in-depth coverage from reliable third-party sources. Also yes, and that's why it should be kept.
