An annual conference held from 2013 to 2016. Notability appears tied to Kill Screen magazine, merge into section there? IgelRM (talk) 13:29, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Mentioned in RS here, here and here under its former name, Two5Six. If this counts as an RS, it's mentioned there as well. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:53, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the Vice and PCMag sources (I had already added the Fastcompany source). My first thought was also "Keep" but two5six is a marketing agency founded by Jamin Warren. So I think it needs attention from someone familiar with Wikipedia:Notability (events). Edit: I think this shows that two5six is the common name in any way.

Articles from before the name change don't necessarily demonstrate it's the common name, just that it was once called that. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Found Game Informer and Fortune. nydailynews describes Warren was founder. IgelRM (talk) 11:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Kill Screen. Both articles are short and the Festival article doesn't receive that many page views anyway. Also seems like the festival is infrequently held. Some1 (talk) 00:58, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge. Just because something is has independent notability (which here is fairly loose), it doesn't mean it requires its own article. Having them both split would be detrimental to both articles, and Some1 also makes a good point about how the festival is held infrequently anyways. λ NegativeMP1 06:36, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the festivals in Category:Festivals in New York City could conceivably be merged to whoever put on the festival. For example, The New Yorker Festival could be merged to The New Yorker. But given one is an organization and the other is an event, I don't see how it is "detrimental". In my opinion, an article like this should only be merged if it's a sentence or two with zero room for expansion. Otherwise, merging removes the possibility of any future development of an article by in essence implying it's not notable to any editors who may wish to work on it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As nominator I also think we should focus on Notability (events) and not whether a merger would make sense. IgelRM (talk) 18:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
