TechCrunch Disrupt New York

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I think this is lacking encyclopedic content. It's a mere list of s series of exhibitions. I don't think it would even belong as content in the main article, so I'm not suggesting a merge.  DGG ( talk ) 00:42, 27 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. Yeah, this article self-evidently doesn't even come close to meeting WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. Comes across like someone made the article because they were bored, lol. Tautomers (T C) 04:09, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect or merge to Techcrunch at worst, Keep at best. Notable business people do seem to be common attendees and speakers at the events, and notable startups are even formed at the event, but I'm not so sure that's enough for an article about this. I doubt the article was made because the creator was bored, but the best coverage I could find was a post-2013 Newsweek article, this Forbes article about sexism at the event (which is a WP:FORBESCONTRIBUTOR piece anyway), Financial Times article about the same, CNBC piece talking about the Robinhood CEO speaking at the event about the Gamestop fiasco earlier this year, and this Los Angeles Times piece stating a startup won an award at the event. I'm not stating delete, however, because notable people have spoken at the event and it is an important part of a far-more notable topic. 👨x🐱 (talk) 19:34, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to TechCrunch Hasn't even taken place in NY the last three years, so this is talking about a past event.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:12, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to TechCrunch not sufficiently notable independent from TechCrunch. User:力 (power~enwiki, π,  ν ) 18:07, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, I pondered the redirect suggestions and even considered whether the AfD could be closed on that consensus, but then I considered that a redirect would not really serve any meaningful purpose. A natural redirection target would be something like TechCrunch Disrupt, however as that itself isn't even an article (redirects to the proposed target above) then I don't believe this should be an article, in any capacity. In essence, I would think that TechCrunch Disrupt should be an article before any regional variants are. Bungle (talk • contribs) 20:35, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
