Plasticity Forum

A promotional page on an unremarkable organisation and its event. The article is cited to the org itself or to otherwise unsuitable sources. Significant RS coverage not found.

This is not a page on an organisation, but rather on an event that is organized internationally twice annually - in Shanghai and London in 2016 and this year two events in the US. I will link in news about more recent events.Checa985 (talk) 18:11, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. This is borderline for me, but I'd say the topic barely passes the GNG threshold. It is true that Plasticity Forum hasn't received significant coverage in large news organizations, save for a trivial mention in CNN. That said, the forum did receive significant coverage in a Dallas News article, and covered numerous times by Plastics News. Although Dallas/Plastics News are certainly not as notable as CNN, nothing suggests they should not be treated as unreliable sources either. --Dps04 (talk) 14:02, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Nom's comment -- the Dallas News article is not SIGCOV & is part of the pre-event publicity, as can be seen by the headline: "Earth Day Texas event in Dallas will bring together experts to tackle plastic pollution". It contains a quote by an exec, which is followed by an interview. If instead, the journalist attended the event and then wrote up a summary of the talks, then yes, that would be significant coverage. But covering how great the event will be is not significant.
