Request reason:
hi, I have created this page, because I attended the launch party of this Fringe Festival last night. I think it is a great thing, especially because there is no other festival around in that area, I live in Spain myself, but love the idea. I have artistic friends who think the same. My name is Anna Moors, and I am not connected to the Organizers of that Festival. If you think the way I wrote it is supposed to be advertisement, I am sorry. I just think it would be a shame not to let people know that Europe just got one Fringe Festival richer. If you have any questions, pls contact me: (email removed). Ps: I used Gibfringe as a user name because I couldn't think of any thing else.Cheers, Anna. Gibfringe (talk) 12:40, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Sorry, Anna, but Wikipedia isn't for 'letting people know' about things. This is an encyclopaedia, and until things are regarded as notable, they don't get articles. I don't think there is a specific policy for fringe festivals, but WP:GNG will do for now. And to prove notability, it's reliable independent sources WP:RS. As the festival hasn't taken place yet, and isn't a second or third one, I'm afraid that WP:CRYSTAL comes in too - that's 'crystal ball' about the unknown future. As the thing hasn't happened, talking about it is regarded as promoting it - especially with your choice of username. As that appears to represent an organisation (even if it doesn't...), it will have to stay blocked, but you can ask for unblocking for a change of name. This won't allow the re-creation of the article - not until it is shown to be notable enough. I'll look for the right template to use as it's not on your blocking notice.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
