Talk:International Congress of Thracology

Deletion?
I do not understand how this is "a minor, run-of-the-mill conference catering for a small academic field, no outside coverage indicating that it had any larger significance or impact on the course of scholarship." These "deletion tactics" are getting old.

The International Congress of Thracology literally helped to establish and expand the field of Thracology as we know it today. Moreover, this is not some small "crackpot organization" that anyone can dismiss since Alexander Fol was its founder and he is recognized as a proficiently renowned Bulgarian historian.

Overall, it would not make sense to have a Thracology article and not have another article that discusses the forces responsible for its overall establishment. Therefore, there are ultimately two solutions in overcoming this "dilemma." Either this article remains as is (open for improvement of course) or it gets merged with the existing Thracology article. I recommend the former rather than the latter since this article has a plethora of potential. Besides, I have a copy of the book that discusses the Fourth Congress in detail. Therefore, I do not approve of this attempt to delete this article that can serve as something potentially beneficial to Wikipedians and Internet users alike.
