This article had previously been deleted. It is terribly written, and is an advertisement. The title "Canada's Largest Ribfest" is misleading. The ribfest is a traveling carnival which draws large attendance in every city. Plus every ribfest states something about being "Canada's largest party", or "Canada's largest cookoff" [1]. The article should be deleted and created into a larger article encompassing all ribfests. UrbanNerd (talk) 12:56, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
I can't verify your statement above. I have found that there is certainly variations in sizes of ribfests. Moreover, my impression is that it's the "rib teams" which travel, not the festivals themselves. —CodeHydro14:44, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
This is true, the rib vendors travel, not the actual festival themselves. Anyway you want to word it is fine by me. I never meant to imply the festivals themselves traveled. UrbanNerd (talk) 15:52, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
The article was deleted via prod and contested (by myself), then taken to AFD as a procedural matter after it was erroneously prodded again. Ribfests are similar but they are not all one single "traveling carnival" (as far as I know), it is the ribbers themselves who travel and pay to attend individually-operated events (most are operated by a rotaryservice clubs). "Canada's Largest Ribfest" is the name of the event, and I do believe it is at least the largest ribfest in Ontario. Do you have evidence that it isn't? –xenotalk15:37, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

This article has been reworked, so I've detagged. If you still feel it is written like an advertisement, please identify specific passages so they can be addressed. –xenotalk15:37, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
