One-time event, which appears not to be notable. Notability tag has been there 6 years, feel like it's definitely time to delete. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:59, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete event does not have to seem lasting significance or effect, fails WP:NEVENTS. BenLinus 1214^talk 02:03, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I attended this event - it was a major event in my formative years. I would like to keep the Wikipedia entry. Why delete history anyway? 4johnny (talk) 08:13, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to be still casting a shadow. Local residents were "still shaking" 16 years later (Toronto Star, 8 August 2012) and it may have affected the prospects for any similar event in the area ever since (AUX.TV, 15 January 2015): Noyster (talk), 18:30, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I agree with the last two entries. I think that there is enough coverage to indicate notability. Plus 55,000 attendees may vaguely remember the event although they may not tell their children.--Rpclod (talk) 20:56, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Meets WP:GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT as an event that has enduring historical significance: [1], [2] (scroll down), [3], [4]. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:31, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – per arguments in 2 votes above. Earflaps (talk) 00:44, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
