2006 News Corporation Management Conference

Conference hasn't started yet. Also, no similar conferences are in wikipedia. The conference agenda doesn't seem to be an appropriate entry for an encyclopedia Cassavau 22:28, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also seems to fail WP:CORP as a product or service. The entry states that it is for "250 News Corp. executives". Cassavau 22:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also seems more than a bit of an advert --Bookgrrl 23:36, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep -

There are similar conferences in wikipedia see Shangri-La_Dialogue, Bilderberg Group, not sure why this would be reviewed under WP:CORP as it is neither a product nor service it is a privately sponsored conference involving notable world leaders on notable topics. Instead you should consider it as a category:International nongovernmental organizations

The LA times article states "gather this weekend for a management retreat at a posh California seaside resort" so this is not crystal balling. There will be more articles about the conference in the next couple of days so I would suggest the nomination is premature this is evolving like any other current event.

Bookgrrl suggested this is an advert so I would like to clarify that I created this article and am in no way associated with News Corp or this conference.

This article needs editing not deleting. --Paul E. Ester 00:53, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"2006 News Corporation Management Conference". It appears to be sponsored by News Corporation, and therefore might be considered a service of News Corporation. The Bilderberg Group entry is a discussion of the group and its conference in general, not an agenda of a specific conference. If this article were something along those lines, I would not suggest it for deletion. As it stands now, it appears to be something other than what is appropriate here. --Cassavau 01:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not assert meeting any criteria on why this is notable. Since it is private, the facts can not be confirmed and it might not be verifiable and might be OR. Conferences like this happen all of the time, every major company runs them. If this one is kept, whip out the Vegas convention list and start writing articles.

I have refocused the article, please give it another glance to see if it's more of a proper entry. --Paul E. Ester 04:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm not convinced that a gather of notables is notable. -AED 20:46, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The article is in good shape. The question is what impact it has had on the outside world and I can't see that it has had all that much. It might be worth a mention on the News Corporation article. Delete. Capitalistroadster 11:36, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
