Keep - The term "local" is relative especially as we're talking about Kolkata, a metropolitan area of over 14,000,000 which is a larger population than 46 of the American states. Similar to something like a Hollywood Christmas Parade or Dallas Christmas Festival in the smaller cities of Los Angeles and Dallas which there is no consideration of deletion, it's a major festival and it's of no surprise coverage is easily found from even English language sources in a predominately non-English speaking country from non-local sources like the Times of India and the Deccan Herald.[1][2][3] Many more sources with significant coverage are available. Might this be a case of WP:BIAS? --Oakshade (talk) 20:02, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems to be notable. Times of India is a major newspaper in India and has an article focusing on this festival.2607:FEA8:1D60:3BF:FC9E:B095:FC2A:B49E (talk) 01:53, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
