Keep. This is a Norwegian student run conference that is held biannually in Bergen at Norwegian School of Economics. The information and sources to this page is gathered from the website, www.symposiet.no, and from newspaper articles, due to the fact that the students are responsible for the information and program of the conference and invite media to write about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrulsT90 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Keep. The GNG has five requirements. In my opinion, it does meet the demands of significant coverage. It is also realiable in the way that links and references are included, also from secondary sources. These are mainly in Norwegian, however. Also note that "there is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Sources do not have to be available online and do not have to be in English." About independancy, there are numerous articles about this conference, though not linked to the Wikipedia page. That is a quick fix.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete AQ student run conference in a subject field, and the general rule is that these are not notable. I don;think the refs are either independent, given what was said above by TrulsT90. The contents, which is primarily a list of speakers, in unencyclopedic.  DGG ( talk ) 20:16, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's not the usual school, or the usual conference.  NHH is the top business school in Norway and the conference gets impressive participation...the lists of speakers are impressive to me.  It's like having coverage of some group at Harvard University which roasts a top American each year (and which is clearly notable), but NHH Symposium is more serious and also more prominent in the corresponding nation.


 * Searching using Norwegian language yields sources, including the following which mostly look to me like they are primarily about the conference (although I admit i cannot read them and have not translated them):
 * in Dagens Næringsliv, a business newspaper, this November 19, 2014 article with picture of the symposium going on, and numerous other hits in that business newspaper.
 * in Bergensavisen, 2nd newspaper in Bergen, this article and more
 * in Bergens Tidende, 1st newspaper in Bergen, this article and this, and more
 * in Romerikes Blad, this article
 * in Aftenposten, the Oslo-based top newspaper in Norway, this article with mention of the symposium
 * in E24 Næringsliv, this article

 * Also, promotional tone to be addressed by editing, not deletion. No explanation in nomination how this article is "coat racking" at all (we're not talking here aboutt separate articles on each individual conference).  And I really like the new logo designed by Cox, announced in January 2015. -- do  ncr  am  04:57, 7 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep has significant coverage in major national media outlets. Promotional tone should be dealt with by editing, not through AfD. Arsenikk (talk)  10:42, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
