Keep Article needs a tidy-up and de-spam but the event itself is notable (obnoxious, but notable) and the article cites sources. Daveosaurus (talk) 10:21, 31 October 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Keep Unfortunately, as odious as it is, it is probably notable. Needs a major cleanup to remove the self-promotional dross. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 10:26, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this article meets the WP:GNG, for example 110 exact matches on the NZ Herald website[1]. I disagree with the nominator's rationale, most of the content details opposition to the event, and besides tone isn't a reason to delete. XLerate (talk) 11:01, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep, a required cleanup notwithstanding, the article is clearly notable. Schwede 66 16:22, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep, was extensively discussed in the media, and the article is about a series of major events with many, many thousands of spectators. Nonwithstanding any problems with the article quality itself, the topic is clearly notable. And because some people already felt the need to add their moral judgement into the debate, I will for my part go on record that I do not think there is anything "obnoxious" or "odious" about bared breasts and scantily clad men, even in the promotion of commercial pornography.

Keep, AFD is not for cleanup. — Cirt (talk) 05:09, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a pornographer trolling conservative portions of the media for puritanical coverage of his sales event is not notable, even when some of them rise to the bait. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:37, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP notability guidelines are not that prescriptive and WP is not censored. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:02, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The event that is promoted it not very notable but the promotional Boob on Bikes itself is very notable. I will go on the record as being so damned liberal that it not only makes me blush but I am making that libertine Marquis de Sade turn in his grave!! -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:02, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
