 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. While editors arguing for keep were not able to provide citations to coverage that meets GNG, they identified multiple valid reasons for why sources may exist despite being hard to access and argued that it meets WP:NEVENT criteria. signed,Rosguill talk 02:45, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - this thing is huge. It's spread over 15 exhibit halls. The best way to comprehend the magnitude is to look at the satellite image. It's held at the Messe Düsseldorf, one of the few places in the world big enough to hold it. The Las Vegas Convention Center is the only venue in North America bigger than Messe Düsseldorf. MEDICA's the biggest healthcare show/gathering in the world. 5,000+ companies have exhibits there. When COVID's not around, almost 100,000 people from around the world attend.

 * Warning: independent refs are challenging to find. My experience so far:
 * German newspaper articles cited in the German article are mostly behind paywalls. Sorry, I don't care enough to pay.
 * 5,000 companies all issue press releases touting what they're bringing to the show. These clutter a Google News search.

 * Keep - Size and longevity (and inclusion in Trade_show) are good indications of notability. No strong delete argument given by nom. ~Kvng (talk) 13:48, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep this should meet WP:NEVENT, although the fluff about the most recent event should be toned down. Graywalls (talk) 21:18, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
