The result was DELETE. Clearly promotion material, and merely a re-run of the summit agenda for the last few years. None of the sources are actually related to the summit itself, apart from self-citations. -Splash - tk 22:34, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This student run event does not appear to be notable, I am unable to find any secondary sources that detail summit in any detail. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Mt king ^(edits) 05:47, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Warwick Economics Summit has received much media attention is recent years from a variety of sources including the likes of Reuters News Agency, the BBC, the Harvard Gazette and the Student Journals. [1][2] [3][4] --Garethcork (talk) 01:01, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. Furthermore to the above secondary sources The Summit has been featured on Bloomberg and the Telegraph[5][6][7] -- Garethcork (talk) 01:17, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Which of those are Significant coverage of the event and are Independent of the subject ? The only one that gets close to that is the one from The Gateway Online ,the rest are just mentions of the event without discussing it in detail or are written by those attending speaking at it or from the uni.

~~Keep~~ The Warwick Economics Summit is independent of the University of Warwick and has been endorsed in a number of ways including the referenced links. [8][9] --Garethcork 11:09, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is it ? according to the website it is sponsored by the economics department and hosted on the university campus. Mt king ^(edits) 10:31, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Warwick Economics Summit is a separate entity to the University of Warwick, it is only obliged to comply to the students unions regulation. The Summits is not governed by The University or the Economics Department. While it is hosted at the university we are paying for the service to book the lecture theatres. -- Garethcork (talk) 16:47, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fairly obvious above that WP is being used to WP:PROMO this NN event and that the editors in question are WP:NOTHERE to build WP. The references provided above are either non-RS blogs or articles from university "news" sites promo-ing on-campus events (regardless of the "independence" of the organising committee). Blatant NN promo which has no place here. Stalwart111 (talk) 06:51, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
