Fails WP:GNG, no significant coverage. The one included source in this article does not actually mention the subject anywhere. Dylsss (talk) 22:11, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

I just started to publish the article some minutes ago. I added some sources: daily newspaper, official governement website and Portugals Nb 1 TV channel.Ernstludwigstein (talk) 23:10, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment With sources like that don't actually mention the subject (i.e. Reuters, Forbes) it's hard to pick out the more useful, genuine sources. Those should be removed first and foremost. It would be easier to determine notability once that is sorted. I would suggest that the article be Drafted in the meantime. --Paul Carpenter (talk) 12:33, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

I deleted the sources of Forbes and Reuters: There is a link to the Lisbon Web Summit: That explains quite well how the city changes towards a start up hub. Anybody who clicks the link will understand why this mood for a "art and tech" festival came up in Lisbon. All current sources are now about the festival, the invited artists, the partners etc.Ernstludwigstein (talk) 14:13, 10 October 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Draftify notable event, possibly. But not ready for mainspace. Give creator time to work on it.      StarM 15:07, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm concerned with the creator's possible WP:COI, and have opened a discussion at that noticeboard. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 14:23, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Sourcing is extremely week, it seems that all the sources are primary. Does not meet GNG criteria for notability. Maybe in a few year, but now it's definitely WP:TOOSOON. Netherzone (talk) 21:25, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment This article is of questionable relevance to begin with, then add the dubious and primary sources and obvious COI editing. It seems like an easy call.
 * Delete - I weigh in on the side of deleting the article for the litany of reasons listed above. Go4thProsper (talk) 21:50, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I would note that the sources which have been added are mostly primary and non-independent e.g. the official website of this festival, governmental websites, the program for this festival. As far as I can tell, the only secondary independent sources are and  which are both to the same umbigo magazine website, thus I'm still not convinced this event is notable.
