1966 Dartmouth Literacy Conference

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

While undoubtedly detailed and compendious, this very long article on a conference - with a lot of OR/uncited content - is sourced entirely to its own proceedings and publications. With no MSM coverage in evidence, and no evidence to back up claims such as "The Conference had a very big impact on how English and literature were taught in the United States and the United Kingdom for multiple years after the conference.", and with no evidence at all of an impact on British education, let alone American education. In fact, the paper cited here, "The Dartmouth Conference: Its Reports and Results" appears to throw cold water on the while idea of Dartmouth being influential on the teaching of English. We really don't need a list of people who attended a conference in 1966, either.No independent coverage, fails WP:GNG.

 * Keep. A Google search for '"Dartmouth conference" english' throws up multiple published academic papers discussing the history and impact of this conference. Clearly one of the few academic conferences to have a significant impact as a conference.Jahaza (talk) 12:51, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
