contested prod. Student symposium. I fail to see how this organisation in any way satisfies our WP:GNG. The article is sourced only to self-published sources, and I see no independent sources upon performance of Gsearches. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 04:02, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Can't find anything reliable. There are routine mentions in a nice selection of European languages, but could anyone identify anything RS in any language? --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 18:52, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Uncertain The program of individual symposiums is noted and covered by specialized library science journals, see G-Scholar or G-Books result. I found articles (only abstracts available) published by Library Hi Tech News, Forum für Bibliothek und Information, Libreas : Library Ideas, Library Association Record etc. I'm not sure whether it is sufficient to meet our notability requirements (I can't find any substantial information published by mainstream European media), however, it is quite clear that the annual conference is a subject of interest of the academic world.

 * very Weak keep The general rule is that student symposia of this sort are not notable, and that to show them notable takes very reliable sources which give some indication of the importance of the symposium in the profession concerned. Examining the relevant material, there are several summaries of the meeting in the UK journal, New Library World & other journals from the same publisher; unfortunately, I think most librarians would not consider them a RS for  notability: see the references in Emerald Group Publishing.  However, a similar summary has been published in the reputable German journal Bibliothek , and a briefer article   in an ALA newsletter  International Leads](p.5). . The conferences are  at least mentioned in  relevant articles in some other good  journals: and .  I consider this put all together as  borderline for  notability for student symposia. But in any case the pseudo-criterion of being included in mainstream general interest journals is totally irrelevant to notability in specialized subjects. Using such a "criterion" would result in an abridged not a comprehensive  encyclopedia.  DGG ( talk ) 17:25, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG. You'd think librarians would understand tha value of proper references. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:20, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
