The result was keep. I dithered over this a bit; it's unfortunate there's no such thing as a weak keep close. There does exist SIGCOV even in the relatively narrow range of "what's available online" out of decades of trade pubs. Neither keeps nor deletes expressed particularly in-depth rationales on the whole, with this close being primarily based in the input of Drmies and JBchrch (who actually gave some sources).

I think the article is incredibly promotional, and I'm about to have a look at the creator, but it appears that in trade publications there is coverage of this. If they've been around since the 1960s, they are very likely notable. I think this can be improved, and for now I'm going with a mild keep. Drmies (talk) 17:15, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Has been going on actively since 1964, and could meet GNG. –Cupper52^Discuss! 17:58, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:GNG, WP:NCORP, and WP:NEVENTS. SailingInABathTub (talk) 19:59, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I haven't looked at this in depth, but it looks like when Electronica went virtual in 2020, this was news in the electrical components community [1][2][3][4]. JBchrch (talk) 21:06, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep due to longevity and coverage in trade press. SPA has no bearing and there is no indication nom searched for additional sources. ~Kvng (talk) 13:24, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
