[edit] Holocaust conference

This is not a notable event. It deserves mentioning in the Holocaust denial article, not more than that. --Gabi S. 07:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I don't know what the relevant criteria are here, but this is a current event being reported in the NY Times, the Jerusalem Post, etc. Ehud Olmert has commented on it. It seems notable to me. P4k 07:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

It still doesn't meet the criteria for notability. In a year from now, it will be remembered just as another case of holocaust denial. Nothing special. --Gabi S. 07:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Thanks; I was about to go looking for this under International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust , its full name. I just read an article about it at slate.com. Just cause its not your country's president holding a conference, doesn't mean it isn't notable. -- Kendrick7^talk 08:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Definitely notable and definitely a keep, but needs to be kept NPOV. metaspheres 08:49, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, seriously notable event with the likes of David Duke, and Neturei Karta in attendance and the worldwide news coverage of this event (579 separate Google news links currently). This event may be controversial but if anything that only necessitates coverage of it even more. (→Netscott) 09:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep at least for the moment. When the conference is closed and all the media coverage of this and that Holocaust denier appearing and saying this and that thing is finished with, we'll be in a better position to judge the merits of a merger. That said, this isn't exactly a run-of-the-mill conference which happens every year, so it's probably going to remain worthy of its own article. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 10:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This event could very well change the future of holocaust studies, because, though it is supported by Iran, it offers a voice for alternative views to be expressed in forum, which they have never quite enjoyed before. Just because you do not agree with the conference does not mean it is not important, nor does it mean others do not agree with it, there are indeed a large number of people who feel vindicated by this conference, they may be anti-semites, but no one's perfect. Also judging by how NPOV, detailed, and just flat out interesting the article has become, I would support it being listed as a good article. Hayadel 17:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is just a current event. Although the purpose of the conference is disputable, I seriously don't think this article has anything negative. In fact, it should be kept, so that people will know the ignorance of the Iranian president. 71.146.170.38 01:39, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
