The Annual Halloween Art Exhibit

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article fails the general notability guidelines. Since creation in 2008 a number of links have been added but these appear to be self-published or poor quality sources. Examining the sources included and Google News, there is no evidence of significant impact or impact on the long term historical record. There seems little prospect of this being corrected in the near future. Fæ (talk) 11:13, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wikipedia:Autobiography or at least completely WP:COI: this article appears to be about the editors' own project. Also, per nomination, references are non-major sources with no evidence of meeting WP:RS editorial control. (CLTV reference appears to be for a promo spot.) --Closeapple (talk) 22:38, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable art exhibition; article so poorly written I had to go to Google to even find out what it is or where it takes place (I added that info to the article so it wouldn't be an issue). The article is even inconsistent about the name of the thing (is it the Annual Halloween Art Exhibit or the National Showcase of Halloween Art?). Sources are self-referential or trivial. --MelanieN (talk) 23:55, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
