Keep – Passes WP:GNG. The topic has received significant coverage in state-wide and regional publications outside of the Caseville area, where the festival occurs. Source examples include: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:34, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Thanks to Northamerica1000 for pointing out the defect in the nomination. I have struck reference to GNG. NEVENT is a restrictive guideline, much like ORG/CORP. In order to achieve notability, events need to have garnered coverage from outside the region. Michiganthumb.com covers local region (the "Thumb"), MLive Bay City nearly so. The Argus Press is the city's own paper. FYI, MLive is the shared website for all the former Gannett newspapers in Michigan and has regional editions for each former paper, including Bay City. Coverage in these media outlets does not show notability. Coverage in a Chicago or Cleveland paper would. John from Idegon (talk) 21:53, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – The topic also meets WP:NEVENT. More sources:

Here's a book source: Backroads & Byways of Michigan. The Countryman Press. 2009.
Here's a {{paywall}} source from the Daily Herald in Arlington Heights, Illinois: "You Have to Hand It to 'The Thumb' in Eastern Michigan". Quote: "...music and notable potables, head for "Margaritaville" (aka Caseville, Mich.) and its 10-day festival, Cheeseburger in Caseville (Aug. 10-19). It is as though Key West had been transported to the North Woods, with more than a dozen..."
Here's a mention on Yahoo! News, via Associated Press: "Floats and celebrants make their way down Main Street during the Cheeseburger in Caseville Festival Parade of Tropical Fools".

Withdrawn - Good job, Northamerica1000. Since we are the only ones here, I have no objections to you closing this as a speedy keep. John from Idegon (talk) 02:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
