The article Oob conference has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article.

The article failed to provide a claim of encyclopedic notability, had no independent reliable sources confirming the existence and noteworthiness of the conference, and made unsupported statements touting the conference in the manner of an advertisement. With all due respect, Wikipedia does not exist to promote any gathering, whether it be a new scholarly conference, or an individual's birthday party. Without sources substantiating the encyclopedic noteworthiness of the conference, any content under this name serves no purpose other than promotion. Best wishes, Xoloz 19:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
