Lowy Institute New Voices participants

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

This article is a list of mainly non-notable attendees of what, based on a Google search doesn't appear to be a particularly notable conference. The conference attendees are, according to the Lowy Institute's website "early-career people from a wide range of relevant backgrounds" and hence not notable (with a few exceptions). As such, this article fails WP:N and there may be BLP issues given the assumption of a right to privacy. Please note that this was a contested prod with an IP editor removing the prod template and then working on the article. Nick-D (talk) 07:22, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete: doesn't seem notable to me. Additionally, I don't think it satisfies the requirement for significant coverage in reliable sources (all the sources are from the organisation itself). AustralianRupert (talk) 11:59, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * From what I've been able to find, the organisation itself doesn't list the attendees to these conferences on its website. Nick-D (talk) 07:47, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: poor referencing, no notability, and doesn't even seem encyclopedic (if the conference isn't good enough for an article, why would a list of attendees be?).  bahamut0013  words deeds 17:24, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: Cannot prove that the editor was someone from the Lowy Institute but sure looks that way. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:40, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Do not delete - editor is not from the organisation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.132.201.140 (talk) 10:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC)  — 144.132.201.140 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * really? then why the strong interest in this article? in any case you fail to give any reason for actually keeping this article. LibStar (talk) 13:40, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - per nomination. Anotherclown (talk) 11:20, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete no demonstration of notability. suspicious single purpose editing. LibStar (talk) 13:40, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The editor may be one of the people involved with these conferences editing in good faith; I don't think that there's anything suspicious. The Lowry Institute is pretty respectable and good at promoting itself through the mainstream media in Australia. Nick-D (talk) 10:57, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
