This article has no references indicating notability. Google search does not find independent third-party coverage. Any event can say that it is the largest event in a continent. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:36, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - There are certainly sources covering the event but the page's promotional tone needs to be cut out. Meatsgains (talk) 19:41, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as I concur, clear company advertising and the attempts of sourcing only show company PR, sufficient case in it alone. SwisterTwister talk 22:45, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Meets GNG per a review of available sources. For starters, to address concerns in the nomination herein, I added some sources to and have copy edited the article. Also, the article does not have a particularly promotional tone; rather, it provides a brief overview and demonstrations of significance. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:00, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I saw plenty of sources and looked at the snippets at Google News for this world-stage event of 5,000 that according to Forbes attracted Microsoft and Uber in 2015. I had to avoid a RiseUp that took place in Washington, DC. I found coverage on the first page there in Daily News Egypt, Egyptian Streets, Africa.com, Disrupt Africa, The Africa Report, and Forbes.

I think the RiseUp event in DC may have been unrelated? Fusion has also done some events called RiseUp (1, 2, 3) and I can't tell that they are connected to this event in Egypt. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:07, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can't tell what response you want, since my post said, "I had to avoid a RiseUp that took place in Washington, DC." But yes, I also found that the Billboard and Washington Post articles were not related. I don't recall seeing the nbcsandiego.com source. Unscintillating (talk) 17:06, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- promotional, with doubtful notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:41, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
