• Keep. The article's references from reliable news media are more than adequate. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:08, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

• It really depends on how someone views local sources. To me, adequate would be substantial coverage out of the general area. The sources that you added are from Florence, Alabama where the fair is at or are trivial mentions. SL93 (talk) 00:11, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

• Mild Keep There's an Alabama Magazine article from 2007 in GNews that seems fairly detailed, other are simply travel guides or the like. That 2007 article and the TV news coverage would seem to be just enough to make it notable. Oaktree b (talk) 05:43, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
• Delete. One or two local news reports, the rest of the sources are general reporting and the fair is just mentioned (but not featured), or non RS from the Faire website. IMHO - Not enough to establish WP:GNG. Deathlibrarian (talk) 09:40, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
• Delete. Those newly added sources are routine coverage. 2 and 6 are outright promotional. This is a WP:REFBOMB. -- asilvering (talk) 20:10, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:GNG, a couple of mentions in the local press about a local event is not SIGCOV. Hughesdarren (talk) 09:57, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete - Despite my due diligence, I cannot find broader significant coverage outside of some promotional/advert stuff in local publications or passing mentions. Not enough to convince me this faire is notable enough to merit inclusion in Wikipedia at this time. Missvain (talk) 05:13, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
• Keep sources seem sufficient to meet the notability guideline. Granted, they are positive and not critical, but they do contain some substantive information, but they don’t strike me as particularly promotional for coverage of a local festival.–Chaser (talk) 01:57, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
