Comment: The URL for ref 1 & 4 - the only one which seems to be independent & about the venue - seems to take us to somewhere other than the expected story.
Other than that, there is only this one broken reference contributing to WP:GNG. So that's a big problem. THe many other refs do not evidence notability. Tagishsimon (talk) 13:25, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
