Only very local press coverage, so of no general significance for an encyclopedia DGG ( talk ) 01:55, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

• Keep, well known in the state of California and covered as such. From a cultural perspective it is a growing and prominent force. Karl Twist (talk) 09:30, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. If California had its own wiki this article would certainly deserve a place but it is too local for wikipedia.Domdeparis (talk) 11:21, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Speedy close  No argument for deletion.  A deletion argument is based on a WP:DEL-REASON as stated in WP:Deletion policy.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:10, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
• Delete as I agree with nomination with the important basis, "press coverage, no general significance for an encyclopedia" which is in fact one of the WP:Deletion policy criteria, therefore speedy close is entirely inapplicable here especially when there's no clear outcome for Speedy Keep. The only other argument, a Keep, is a WP:ITSIMPORTANT to its consumers, and offered no guarantee of improvements, which therefore is also criteria for WP:Deletion policy; one or two criteria is genuinely enough for any deletion, but worse when there's no foresight of improvements to counter this.

• No, the argument that this is not suitable for a general purpose encyclopedia is premised on the sources being local, but local sources are fine.  "The sources are local" is not an argument for deletion.  Who is attracted to fake deletion debates?  Unscintillating (talk) 00:06, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

• Keep – Meets WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:AUD. Regarding WP:AUD, the topic is covered by KQED, which is based in San Francisco, California, which qualifies as regional coverage in the State of California. Below are some sources. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:09, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
