On Notability

I received a message about deleting the page. something about a non-notable fair. however, i'm not sure what that means. if someone has some specific questions i can address them.

I presumed it would be a good entry, since the festival is the largest indoor carnaval celebration in the world.

i am still learning, slowly, how this wikipedia thing works. please be patient.

thanks.

People not from the Caribbean typically do not understand the significance of Carnival to Caribbean culture, and therefore dismiss its notability. Many people think of kiddie carnivals with ferris wheels and rides, and have no understanding of what Caribbean Carnival or Brazilian Carnaval is. --WisTex (talk) 01:33, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How is this article not notable? I can hear someone claiming "a lesser-known event that takes place solely in a college town", but there are plenty of articles on wikipedia in general that address that (University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt,Traditions and student activities at MIT, etc). The tradition has been in place for almost 40 years- It's notable, very much so. Also, for a specific example of a lesser-known Austin activity which has made its way into wikipedia: Make (magazine). What's up to question is whether or not it's encyclopedic... --Utopianfiat (talk) 19:15, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I want to make changes, add online sources and we have dozens of sources that are from Newspapers dating back to 1978, but are not online. I am to old and stupid to understand how this can be done, references added and cited and so on. This event is "notable" in that it has been reported on in Brazilian newspapers, Boston MA newspapers, Austin papers, San Antonio TX newspapers and websites all over the country. Not sure how it is not notable in that it has grown to be larger than any such indoor Brazilian party, even in Brazil where this type of event has almost disappeared, so, in a way, it is a living embodiment of a nearly lost (in Brasil itself) Brazilian tradition. Tell me how to work this html stuff and I'll document all day long. Thanks.. Sambamaster 9:52, 14 January 2013
