 * Speedy Delete - This is a shade after my period of expertise, but I've never heard of a conference by this name, the article does not mention a date, and the phrase "All Soviet" is absolutely unused (as opposed to "All Russian," which was a 1920s and early 1930s expression that meant the set of nationalities of the Soviet Union including the Russians and all other national groups). I suspect a hoax, quite frankly. Nothing worth saving here in any event. I feel strongly about this one, for what it's worth.

 * Delete I think this title is a mistake rather than a hoax. Looking on Google books, a number of volumes including WEB DuBois' autobiography mention "an all-Soviet peace conference in Moscow" or a similar form of words, sometimes capitalizing "Peace Conference" (see e.g. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois The autobiography of W.E.B. DuBois: a soliloquy on viewing my life, Karin L. Stanford Beyond the Boundaries: Reverend Jesse Jackson in International Affairs, Eric Porter The Problem of the Future World).  It's possible someone took this descriptive phrase to be the actual name of the conference. If someone can find out the actual name of the conference and more about it, maybe we could move this article, but at the moment it's not giving any useful information. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:21, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Sounds reasonable. I'll strike the Speedy part of Speedy Delete. This (purported?) conference should either be identified or the piece deleted, however. Carrite (talk) 01:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - Well, I think I've figured out what this was supposed to be. In August 1949 the Soviet Peace Committee was established in Moscow, per THIS. Ordinarily, unless a convention is seminal, standard practice is to write on the organization and to discuss its conventions, conferences, congresses, etc. in the context of that. There is no doubt that the organization is notable, and I wouldn't doubt that the founding conference couldn't be sourced out, but this uninformative sub-stub needs to go away, I think.

 * I see that Soviet Peace Committee is already showing as a blue link. Carrite (talk) 01:56, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
