Lack of independent sourcing.

Disney have shows at their parks. Does anyone outside the park pay attention to them? If they don't, and this article so far has a vast amount of unsourced detail with nothing else to support it, then per WP:GNG we shouldn't have such an article.

• Merge selectively to Hong Kong Disneyland – Paint the Night Parade and Disneyland, respectively per sections in the article. Source searches are providing coverage in reliable sources, but it's not significant enough to qualify a standalone article. Note that the I have pruned the article of promotional content and content that was in copyright violation, and added sources to verify content. NORTH AMERICA¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:10, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That works for me. The cut-down version without the hyperbole and with the added sources looks a lot better. I think this material belongs in an article, but it's either an article on the park or an article on night shows at that park. What we don't need is separate articles on every variant of every show.

Also Unicode is finite and there was a real risk of Wikipedia running out! of exclamation marks! at the rate this article was using them! Andy Dingley (talk) 23:44, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It looks like there's enough significant coverage in independent reliable sources, and enough should be common between the parades in Hong Kong and the US that is doesn't really make sense to merge it to two separate articles. --Ahecht (TALK

• Keep Article looks much better (thanks North America) now, and there's enough reliable sources for me. Pretty much every other Disney Parade has it's own article, and the fact that this is replacing one of their main parade's this is certainly just as notable. I know Other stuff is not a recommended argument, but it's just to counter the comment that we don't need these types of articles, people care about Disney, and they care about these parades. -War wizard90 (talk) 23:53, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Lots of Chinese sources.Antigng (talk) 00:55, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Seems that the sourcing issue has been resolved and since the nominater gave no other rationale for deletion, I have no qualms with this keep. Perhaps the nominator wishes to reconsider this proposal.JOJ ^Hutton 01:02, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
