The article was prodded by Vrac as unreferenced original research; the prod was removed by Wiki you now, Wiki you later! who nominated it for speedy deletion as a hoax. It's not a hoax; Fall Festivals are held by the United Methodists and some Catholic and Baptist churches. That brings us back to unsourced OR. I found some local news about specific Fall Festivals but no general coverage of the subject. Huon (talk) 13:01, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete: Reiterate the prod rationale of unreferenced original research. It's not a "holiday" nor "a substitute for Halloween"; not notable or specific enough as type of festival to merit its own article, probably not a useful redirect either. Vrac (talk) 13:38, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete: Not noble enough. Rowdy the Ant talk to Rowdy 23:52, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Sorry, but stating that the "holiday" probably is a substitute for another holiday is a great way to discredit the entire article, especially when there are no citations. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:07, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

- Delete -- Not quite a hoax, but hardly a common term. All we have is a dictionary definition, not an encyclopedic article. It might be rediredcted to (say) Harvest festival, but it is not an obvious search term. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:45, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
