Placed on CSD, CSD was contested. Article has been deleted once before. While having
Masahiro Kumono,
Shun Nakamura, and
Richard Jacques comment on the event is very impressive, it's also
unverifiable because the only interview sources are the Summer of Sonic website itself, and it does not constitute a
reliable source. There needs to be reliable sources about the event to make it pass
WP:WEB.

Comment. Please read
reliable sources. Sonic News cannot be considered "independent" as it is part of the TSS network, the host of Summer of Sonic. IGN forum posts are also wholly unverifiable because anybody can post.

This is pretty recent; shouldn't we give someone out there time to write something on it? Anyway,
Jun Senoue, an muscian who works at
Sonic Team,
has something about it on
his site. Besides, Sega recognizes it as a significant event and gave permission for Sonic Stadium to use the "15th anniversary logo" (which is usually only granted to sites like IGN). Also, interviews with Sonic Team staff were placed on SoS rather than
their usual place at Sonic Channel. This is a big event, much more than
Hedgehog Heaven. (I think you should know that "no evidence of notability, therefore not notable" is
denying the antecedent and an
irrelevant conclusion. Know the logic behind your own policy, for goodness sakes.) --

Delete per nom. You don't wait for someone else to write about an item to justify its existence here. It needs sufficient outside source first.

Keep- It is clearly a notable event! It has, as stated above, been recognized by Sega (of Europe, to specify.) It was even handed prizes, such as signed copies of Sonic Advance, and Adventure 2! It is recognized as a large fan event. And official event if count Sega's participation in it. And besides, why would Masahiro Kumono, Shun Nakamura, Richard Jacques, and Jun Senoue allow an interview with them if they do not recognize this event.

I don't know what happened here. The article didn't have an AFD tag on it, this AfD was never closed. I'm recreating the AfD and relisting. This site is non-notable, as proven by the enormous list of nn handles of forum contributors.

Delete per nom. Not notable, possible forumcruft, and possible advertising.

Delete per nom, not notable. Listing forum contributors doesn't really inspire confidence.

Comment - Any reason for the 2 same AFD notices on the page? --

Delete, no reliable sources. If it's deleted, be sure to remove the redlink from Template:SonicFeatures so as to discourage recreation by a well-meaning third party. -

Comment- Just because it does not have an official source dosen't mean it isn't an event. That would be like saying that a tv show dosen't exist just because no website has talked about it.

If it doesn't have any official sources and none can be found, it doesn't meet
WP:V. If it doesn't meet WP:V, we can't/won't/shouldn't keep it. -

Delete If the world at large (read Newsbank and Lexis-Nexis) don't care then we shouldn't either. ~
