Draft:Sandbox Festival

  • Comment: I added this reference on the talk page which is more in-depth and should be included in place of some of the unreliable sources. I was going to approve based on that and the Egypt Today articles, but I see the references from Egypt Today are not bylined so they are likely churnalism. Can you provide some in-depth coverage for the festival that meets WP:ORGCRIT? It think this is close but would probably wind up in a deletion discussion if approved as-is.
