Northeastern University's Collegiate Alternative Investments Summit

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a student-run conference in existence for only 2 years. No independent sources or notability claimed to the topic's significance. Only editor appears to have strong personal relationship with the topic, see http://www.linkedin.com/in/dylanklopp?_mSplash=1 Wittylama 08:05, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Though I am close to the organization, I am following the guidelines and am presenting unbiased information from their website and other sources into one article. I am still looking for more third party references to meet the requirements. This is a reoccurring event, held annually and is supported and sponsored by large institutions.

 * Hi Dklopp - I realise you're new to Wikipedia and don't mean for you to take this as a rejection of your efforts. Thank you for taking the time to create such a nicely formatted article. The question here is "notability" - which is our term for whether a given topic has received independent attention worthy to make it sufficiently important to warrant a WP entry. Not every conference (for example) should be in WP, so you would need to prove that this one should be - using third party sources that express the significance of the event (not merely its existence). You'll see therefore why citations to the event's own website is not sufficient for proving notability - everyone likes to think they are important but no one is objective about themselves :-) Wittylama 01:47, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Easily fails Notability (events) and WP:GNG. Has not received widespread, independent coverage. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 23:06, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
