Appears to be completely non-notable part of a redlinked festival, poorly sourced, not likely to be improved. Bearian (talk) 21:24, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

A7 Non-notable organization, don't try to tell me it's not speediable. :-P Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Many otters • One hammer • HELP)} 21:31, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

:*It's not. Festivals ≠ A7. :) Cunard (talk) 01:52, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Delete - Very poor article, terribly sourced, and non-notable organization. Unrelated with anything that would be considered encyclopedic. Diana LeCrois : 22:45, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Comment: I've removed the speedy deletion tag because the festival appears to pass WP:N per [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&q=%22AJC+Easter+Carnival%22&cf=all this Google News Archive search]. Cunard (talk) 01:42, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Delete The sources in the Google News Archive search are all passing mentions. This festival fails WP:N. Cunard (talk) 01:52, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

:*Changed vote to keep per {{user|66.57.4.17}}. The sources provided prove that this carnival passes WP:N. A merge to Australian Jockey Club would also be a viable option. Cunard (talk) 05:52, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Keep. It is a carnival with 100+ years of tradition, that is covered on all major television channels in Australia, and with several millions dollars in prize money. [http://www.racingandsports.com.au/Racing/rsNewsArt.asp?NID=60629], [http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,23407178-32343,00.html], [http://www.racingandsports.com.au/features.asp?f=ajcec04-fashion-oaks] etc. Note that "AJC Easter Carnival" yeilds less ghits than, say, 'Sydney "Easter Carnival"' or 'Randwick "Easter Carnival."' I'm not sure what the above comments about non-notable organizations are referring to, but the Australian Jockey Club is for sure a "notable" organization. 66.57.4.17 (talk) 01:58, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Merge to Australian Jockey Club, which is notable. If article grows to a length that's unsustainable, then a spin off may be in order StarM 01:57, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Merge to a newly created Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival article, along the same lines as Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival. The AJC Easter Carnival bears the same relationship to the Sydney Autumn carnival as the Caulfield Carnival bears to the Melbourne Spring carnival. Either way, the AJC carnival is part of one of Australia's largest sporting carnivals, attracting huge crowds and suggestions for speedy deletion are absurd. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 06:15, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Merge and Redirect to Australian Jockey Club, doesn't appear to be sufficiently notable as a stand-alone article. – Zedla (talk) 23:30, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
