Don't know, what's wrong with this page! apparently JzG is a bit rough with other contributors! don't agree! kdliss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdliss (talk • contribs)
Weak keep, or delete if not better sourced at the end of the AfD. Google News results and this link indicate this is not a carnival with sports, but actually a peculiar Australian type of event that we could justifiably have an article about. Sandstein11:20, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, as you can see from this, a sports carnival is a specific type of event. Schools hold them, for example. What an Australian school would call a "sports carnival" a U.K. school would most likely call a "sports day". Uncle G16:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So I propose to everybody to expand the article rather than deleting it! This is in the sense of Wikipedia! Isn't it the way, that anybody contributes in the field of his knowledge? Kdliss00:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Re to UsaSatsui, I would propose to have the general page Sports carnival with redirection from suf carnival, swim canival, athletics carnival or others rather than creating a page for each kind. Kdliss00:28, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a reasonable start although it might be worth merging with an article on sports days. Surf carnivals are different events with potential for an article of its own. When I was in the NSW public schools system, we had an annual sports carnival featuring athletics and a swimming competition as well called a swimming carnival.

Keep No real harm in it, doesn't violate any policies. On a more humorous note, and as someone who persistently came last in them despite best efforts, per Lankiveil. :) Orderinchaos7808:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, the nominator might want to now withdraw their support for this AfD so this can be speedy closed by them? Surely it is very clear by now this article should be kept. MathmoTalk14:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep But it needs some info on netball / football / rugby (both codes) knockout days, as well as athletics days, to really meet the title of Sports carnival. Otherwise move the content to Surf lifesaving carnival.Garrie22:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
