• weak Keep It may nonetheless be notable. It's a large industry, and if this is the top-level sales meeting it would be N. I asked for documentation about market share. If kept, the puffery can easily be removed--I just now did about half. There is no more justification for including the detailed schedule of a trade show than there is for a middle school.

  There are plenty of "executive summits" for much larger industries. For example, the telecom industry collects more money than annual box office sales every two weeks. The games industry is small when compared to the movies industry, and the games industry is dwarfed by telecom. The size of an industry should not be a criterion for inclusion.

  More to the point, there's nothing particularly notable about this event. These type of events are as common as they come. Or should I start creating articles on every event I produce? As a bonus and worse, ethically and procedurally, User:IEMA and User:Gowardo appear to be working on behalf of Interactive Entertainment Merchants Association (IEMA) without identifying themselves as such. This makes their contributions astroturfing and conflicts of interest. Adraeus 08:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
