Seems like a pretty clear case of DICDEF to me: note, in the history, the usual celebrity mentions of gate crashers, but these incidents cannot elevate this to an encyclopedic topic. Nor, of course, is there serious discussion of the concept as a term, and it is thus not an encyclopedic topic. Drmies (talk) 20:35, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, seems fine. I had to double-check WP:DICDEF but I don't see anything there that would seem to apply to this article. The citations in the article, which include several articles specifically devoted to gatecrashing, are probably ample to demonstrate notability. But just in case, here are some more: Gatecrashing: an exploration of community attitudes and experiences (contains considerable background on gatecrashing at outdoor music festivals), Gate-Crashing the Stage (1934 reflections of an actor on the importance of [individual] gatecrashing for one's career), Swarming and the social dynamics of group violence (criminological study of group gatecrashing and related phenomena), 'Ducktails, Flick-knives and Pugnacity' (sociological study discussing group gatecrashing as a form of antisocial gang activity in postwar South Africa). The phenomenon of organized gatecrashing at OMFs in particular seems to have attracted a lot of attention in the popular press, e.g. [1]. The heavy use of gatecrashing as a metaphor makes for difficult searching, but there is definitely ample coverage of actual non-metaphorical gatecrashing to support an encyclopedic article on the subject. -- Visviva (talk) 23:09, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article has many important references, and the issue itself is already a part of culture, so meet GNG--Wyndhan Han (talk) 11:39, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The original draft is better than the current article and as references. [2] But, would this run afoul of Wikipedia is not a Dictionary WP:NOTDICTIONARY? Denaar (talk) 15:46, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTDICTIONARY, took some time to read and research criteria. I don't believe "list of gate crashing events" would be notable either. Denaar (talk) 16:24, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
