List of invited speakers at cryptology conferences

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This topic may lack notability per the general notability guidelines. The article cites no sources; a Google search for potential sources returns many results that list notable speakers for individual cryptography conferences, but there is no coverage of the topic in general. Information about invited speakers would be more appropriate in the articles covering individual conferences (e.g. list the invited speakers of CRYPTO in the article CRYPTO). Dividing up the list like this would still provide this information, but without the notability concerns. BenKuykendall (talk) 21:44, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete It's a bit too indiscriminate to be useful as a resource for people looking for potentially notable cryptographers to create new articles about. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 23:22, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Inappropriate use of lists (WP:NOTDIRECTORY), unsourced and fairly trivial. Has anyone checked for 'List of caterers at cryptography conferences'? Nick Moyes (talk) 08:36, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
