[edit] Pub Standards

Pub Standards (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

It's hard to see how an event like this can be notable. At best, the article will never meet the standards of attribution. Placeholder account 22:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, no evidence of notability. --Dhartung | Talk 23:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep is obviously my position as author. This event is an international event with a wide attendance. The article might require a cleanup, but I don't think it warrants deletion, although as author, I am biased. Please be aware this is not self-promotion. I am no more than an attendee at this event.

  • Delete. "Although the official UK site claims the first Pub Standards was held in Ancient Greece, this has been rebuked by historians who have discovered that Ancient Greece neither had computers, the Internet, nor a concept of web standards" - Is this article a joke?

  • Keep. Of course that bit's a joke, Someguy1221 - the writer obviously think he/she has a sense of humour. That isn't grounds for deletion. In fact, this article fits all of "notability" criteria set out in Wikipedia. Primary cirterion: "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of secondary sources." There are *numerous* secondary sources. It also notes that "Organizations are usually notable if the scope of activities are national or international in scale and information can be verified by sources that are reliable and independent of the organization." and there are, currently, Pub Standards events both in London and Melbourne. There's your notability, Dhartung. No argument - by Wikipedia's policies, it's very much notable enough for inclusion. PTG 10:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
    • If there are "numerous" secondary sources, please add them. Currently there is nothing but links to the groups' websites. — Scientizzle 22:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep "Requires clean up but not deletion." Ifenn 11:13, 10 May 2007 (UTC).
  • Delete unless reliable, external sources can be provided to assert notability. — Scientizzle 22:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
