Gender and Sexuality in Information Studies Colloquium (event)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An academic event which 100 people attended does not seem notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article. This seems to fail WP:NEWSEVENT. Marquardtika (talk) 14:45, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

 * This article documents the premiere event, and simply needs an update edit to recognize that it is no longer a stand-alone ::colloquium, but a biennial colloquium - there has been one in 2016, 2018, and one coming up in 2020. It is worthy of being ::maintained on Wikipedia. The colloquium is also associated with a library and information science and archival science academic ::book series that is published by Litwin Books, an independent publisher mentioned in the initial post of the article.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete, the only sources given are primary material and personal blogs. There are a vast number of regular academic conferences and no reason is given for this particular one to be considered notable. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 17:57, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: As per Nizolan. It's relatively common to have academic conferences, even biennial academic conferences, but the question is whether there's substantial documentation from outside of the event's own bubble. There does not seem to be that level of coverage. Cosmic Sans (talk) 15:07, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
