346:— Well, they happen to be notable, I guess. Or it could also be that I don't care about such trivial topics enough so that I would waste my time with going through the AfD process of putting them up for deletion. In any case, I do not think this topic is interesting enough to be kept. Although I am usually an inclusionist, I can also vote for delete when it happens to be completely uninteresting stuff. —
707:
You if anyone should know that, Gargaj. Blockparty has neither. Nor does it have any kind of "new" thinking that an encyclopedic topic needs to be notable if it's not well known. It's just a really small demoparty in USA. Can i add a
Skogome demoparty to Knowledge? -Afterall, if I would arrange a demoparty it would for sure be Skogome's only demoparty.
328:
It is only a pseudo-argument because it seems that selective criteria is often used to determine notable and what is not on
Knowledge. Nice try at the personal attack, though, but it just wasn't funny. Also, it does not address or support the core assertion by the nominator that the subject at hand

In that case, why don't you also add to the AfD pile the tens of thousands of articles on minor villages and cities that probably aren't "unencyclopaedic" as well? In fact, if this article isn't notable (which it is) you might as well delete three-fourths of
Knowledge's articles since they're likely

article is on the SOLE US Demoparty still in existance. Each of the speakers at it was notable on their own right, your saying their collaboration wasnt notable. By that logic lets delete the United

Trying to discrediting me for being a resting
Wikipedian doesn't change the fact that I am a part of the demoscene community and generally know how the demoscene works and how we measure magnitude of a demoparty. Nobody remembers/cares about demoparties that doesn't have quality/quantity releases.

so all in all (including a disk mag that would have been released anyways, and an invite intro) you have 15 releases. Ever. What a notable demoparty! Adding a demoparty to an encyclopedia just because it's location would mean we could practically add any demoparty just because "hey! it's this and

Seems just as notable as any other demoparty, if not more -- firstly because it hasn't fizzled or flopped yet, secondly because it's in north america, which is something of an anomaly in the "scene". Perhaps the article could make a better case for notability, but deleting it before people have a

isn't notable. I am more interested in offering educational, interesting and accurate information on topics. You believe this article has no value. I believe that we should be constructive on the issue versus destructive. We will see how the vote turns out, I guess. --
601:- North American demoparties are significantly more rare than their European equivalents and as such this demoparty has - in my opinion - significant notability as well. Additionally, the article is well-written (though a bit short) enough to stay.
166:
I just added the point that
Blockparty's unique position (paired with a non-demoscene event) makes it a vehicle for outreach and introduction, which isn't found (to my knowledge) anywhere else in the demoscene, past or present.

It is currently the largest demo party in North
America and had presenters that are very notable in the demoscene. If this article deserves deletion, then you might as well delete every other party indicated on Knowledge's

Blockparty is the only remaining demoparty in all of North America. (Temporarily out of retirement to rectify this injustice)
