Fails WP:NEVENT. The source provided doesn't discuss the conference, and a WP:BEFORE search yields no sign of the sort of "lasting significance" required for notability. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:35, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retain. I created that article 2014-02-09 and -10 with 11 references to articles in places like the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Times of Israel, Huff Post and Haaretz as well as Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) and others. This strongly suggests it was notable. The criterion WP:BEFORE includes, "Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted": Credible sources are available to improve this article. It now has only 1 reference. The 10 that were deleted were credible sources saying important things about this conference. Feng Shi; Misha Teplitskiy; Eamon Duede; James A. Evans (29 November 2017), The Wisdom of Polarized Crowds (PDF), arXiv:1712.06414, doi:10.1038/S41562-019-0541-6, Wikidata Q47248083, cited in Reliability of Wikipedia#Articles on contentious issues notes that the best Wikipedia articles have many editors from a variety of perspectives. This article on Haifa International Conference for a WMD-Free Middle East suffered from not having enough editors with differing perspectives to prevent those 10 references from being deleted. Peter Binkley (2006). "Wikipedia Grows Up". Feliciter (2): 59–61. Wikidata Q66411582., also cited in Reliability of Wikipedia#Articles on contentious issues, said thad in controversial topics, "what is most remarkable is that the two sides actually engaged each other and negotiated a version of the article that both can more or less live with". Sadly, we didn't have the diversity of editors looking at this article needed to prevent those 10 references from being deleted. However, that doesn't mean that this Conference wasn't notable. Beyond this, I think the world needs an v:International Conflict Observatory. The human psychology that drives conflicts and produces a need for an v:International Conflict Observatory is summarized in v:Confirmation bias and conflict. FYI, I just added a link from the Wikipedia article on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons to this article in the Haifa International Conference for a WMD-Free Middle East.
