Convergence Festival
AfDs for this article:

As per the previous PRODs and AfD, I still do not see how this conference event meets WP:SIGCOV or WP:NEVENT or WP:NORG. We barely have enough sources to support the text, not to mind supporting notability. While there were several recommendations for deletion in the previous AfD, the one contributor advocating a "keep" pointed to a single Irish Times article in which the subject is mentioned and a few (primary source) webpages where vague "claims to fame" were made (about being the "longest running sustainable living festival [in Ireland]" - when such a claim is unqualified, the source unknown and [for all we know] is/was the ONLY such event in Ireland). I can find no additional sources or coverage since my 2021 WP:BEFORE. Which is not surprising given that the event has been defunct since 2018 or 2019. That the article has subsequently been turned into some form of unsupported WP:NOTWEBHOST archive of the event's activities does little to justify retention....

 * Delete - a pity that a 19-year-old event (or 17 active years) has not achieved more coverage / recognition but it is what it is, and this clearly does not seem to reach the level we need - it fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:NORG. SeoR (talk) 14:25, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
