Merge or redirect to a subsection in the "Culture in New York City" article; this article doesn't make it clear, but that seems to be where it takes place. Oaktree b (talk) 15:48, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
or LGBT_culture_in_New_York_City#Institutions? I'm just not sure what the inclusion criteria is there. Star Mississippi 17:15, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That would work I think, it seems an important festival/event, just not sure it needs a whole article. Oaktree b (talk) 17:37, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Full disclosure, unofficial delsort: Wikipedia_talk:Wiki_Loves_Pride#Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Fresh_Fruit_Festival Star Mississippi 15:34, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak delete~~ I wanted to save this, but the sourcing isn't there. All Out Arts appears to have not survived COVID and I don't think the sourcing is there either for a creation, merge. I would love to be proved wrong, but all I can find are event announcements and other routine coverage. Nothing to approach N:EVENT/ORG (when considering the parent for the latter) Star Mississippi 15:34, 6 June 2023 (UTC) Change to redirect. Am fine with whichever target makes the most sense. With the edits to the article yesterday and some searching, I also think Wild Project might be viable. Agree that there isn't anything to merge, but worth discussing the festival there. I'll try to get to that this week. Star Mississippi 16:35, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not ready for prime time, but Draft:Wild Project now exists. Courtesy ping too to BSO718 who has been working on Festival article. Star Mississippi 17:48, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For full disclosure, I flagged Wild Project draft at Wikipedia talk:Wiki Loves Pride/2023. I still think a redirect to LGBT Culture makes sense and therefore this isn't canvassing, but I'm always in favor of transparency so noting it here. Star Mississippi 15:14, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to LGBT culture in New York City#Recreation. That section already has a mention of the festival (it was unsourced, and I just copied over a source from the festival article). I think §Recreation is better than §Institutions, as the latter seems more focused on organizations than events. I'd say 'merge', but I don't think there's enough content in reliable sources to say anything more than that the festival happens.
