Wikipedia:Yabatech Wikipedia Education Program Seminar[edit]

Is this really worth keeping around? This feels more like an article than anything else. I'm aware of the Arbcom case around this editor and the background history but do all seminars generally have a page announcing them? It seems a bit odd as it's not really a project page here.

Delete. Article has only one unreliable source (a blog), which doesn't even exist: "Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.". Artcile was created under wp:COI by Wikicology aka Olatunde Isaac, mentioning himself in the article. - DVdm (talk) 13:24, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure yet about whether this should be kept, but this isn't in the mainspace, and there is no indication whatsoever that this was intended to be an article, so we should be examining whether this is positive, harmful, or ineffectual as a project page, not an article. We don't demand absolute WP:V for much outside of mainspace (major exception is WP:BLP), and WP:COI is based on mainspace content policies and doesn't really affect project space. The Wayback Machine has an archived version of the blog, which doesn't appear to mention the seminar, unfortunately. Mz7 (talk) 23:53, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - We don't (or atleast we shouldn't) have articles on seminars not unless they're actually notable which unfortunately this one isn't, Fails GNG. (I'm aware of the Arb case but just want to make it abundantly clear my !vote has absolutely nothing to do with it - Arb case or no case my !vote still would've been delete), Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 11:56, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
