I'm a little bit surprised this hasn't already come up and been undeleted. This event is huge in State College, and is all over the local media. The students and revelers love it, but the townies hate it because of the uptick in crime, etc. As for proving its notability, I will simply provide a list of the hundreds of mentions just this year in notable media: [1]. Whether or not it was notable 4-5 years ago is no longer relevant (although, frankly, it was notable even back then); what's important is that it's definitely notable now.

Permit creation. I found that nomination very convincing. I wonder whether it should be a redirect to a subsection of Pennsylvania State University rather than a separate article, but the case for creating something in that space is extremely clear to me.—S MarshallT/C22:14, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why are we here? The last deletion was what, 4 years ago? By all means, write a good article, chock full of those RS'es, and slap it into mainspace. If it gets G4'ed, then come here and we'll trout the administrator who did it as appropriate. DRV is not mandatory for recreation of articles when an editor in good standing makes a reasonable attempt to address all the concerns in the XfD. Jclemens (talk) 02:58, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But, you see, there is the small problem of the fact that I suck at writing articles. And that the old version is actually well enough written[2] that I'd like to retain parts of it. Magog the Ogre (talk) 04:09, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm much better at copyediting than writing an article from scratch myself, but all it takes is slapping a few references on it to overcome G4. The below note re: userification has merit. Jclemens (talk) 05:09, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In such cases, where the user wants a copy of a deleted article in order to improve it enough to overcome the reasons for deletion, userfication is the obvious answer. Move this Magog's userspace and then he can move it back to mainspace once it has been updated, cleaned up, and sourced. No need to come back to DRV beforehand. Indeed, if Magg is amenable to userfication this can probably be closed quickly as an uncontroversial request. Eluchil404 (talk) 04:32, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
