Oktoberfest in Hong Kong[edit]

Oktoberfest in Hong Kong (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

The Oktoberfest in Hong Kong article does not establish notability. While the general assumption is that the Oktoberfest festival in Germany is notable, an event with the same theme in Hong Kong does not confer notability. Currently, the Hong Kong article is mainly about an annual local celebration put on by a local hotel. Luke! 07:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following article for deletion.

Oktoberfest Hannover (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The reason being is that both of these articles are about local Oktoberfest celebrations that are based off the original festival in Germany. As many AfD's have shown, local chapters/organizations/clubs/festivals/etc. may not be notable just because their parent organizations/themes are. The notability is not conferred or transferred.

• Merge worthy content back into the main article? Corpx 07:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and Delete, the Oktoberfest article can be written to say that it's celebrated in Hong Kong, since the local version isn't notable (after all, no TV or newspapers have reported it going on over the years).--Alasdair 10:23, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment merge/delete violates the GFDL. --Dhartung | Talk 16:19, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • All righty then.--Alasdair 02:40, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Hong Kong-related deletions. -- KTC 13:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Oktoberfest celebrations, which is about the ones not in Munich. I would provisionally keep the Hannover one, as 1M visitors is quite a few, but it is unreferenced (and the photo is really just about worthless). The one in Hong Kong is certainly no more notable than one held anywhere else. There are some German-American communities that have signicant/notable celebrations of their own, and this shouldn't have umbrage over them. --Dhartung | Talk 16:19, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
