 * delete, a nonnotable endeavor yet. No assertions of any significance. It is even unknown whether the event happened at all. `'Míkka 01:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * keep - This article is a notable entry. In 2007, for the first time in the history of Yiddish studies, a summer program on Yiddish language and culture took place in Birobidzhan, the capital of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. Since 1934, Birobidzhan has been the only place in the world where Yiddish has status as the state official language. This program is associated with Bar-Ilan University. The Jerusalem Post and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency have written articles about this program.  These are reliable sources commenting on a cultural event relevant to both Yiddish studies and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast's history.  Culturalrevival 19:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * weak Delete as an article for a particular year of a conference, summer program, etc.,, which are very rarely notable. And can't have a series one yet, as its just the first & we don't know if there will be more. But the material could probably be turned into an article on Yiddish in Birobidzhan, with a different emphasis. That's what most of the material supports. DGG (talk) 22:53, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
