Academic conferences are routine and not inherently notable. Our best guide is WP:EVENT, which this conference fails by a mile. There is simply not enough coverage and no evidence that this conference in particular had any enduring historical impact (unlike, for example, the Dartmouth Conferences it commemorated).

  • Delete—While I agree with the nom that most academic conferences are routine and non-notable, there are exceptions to the rule and this might be one of them. I've made a cleanup pass on the article's citations. There are three journals that did special issues; that's routine and I don't think it contributes to notability. There was also a fair amount of press coverage. That doesn't happen for routine conferences. Whether that's enough to clear the notability bar, I'm not sure. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 00:22, 1 September 2014 (UTC)Ok, if I've just spent a half-hour digging up references and I don't really believe it's notable, it's not notable. Changed to delete.

    Yes, minor journals will sometimes have special issues showcasing the work from a conference, in lieu of a stand-alone conference proceedings being published. Such special issues can't count toward GNG for the conference because they are not independent of the subject: the (perceived) quality of a conference is bound up with the (perceived) quality of the research presented there.

  • Merge into Dartmouth Conferences. This instance of the conferences is not notable on its own but the 50th conference is potentially worthy of mention in the series article. ~KvnG 16:39, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think this really belongs there. This isn't part of a series that includes the Dartmouth Conferences; it's an independent gathering that decided it was commemorating them. Commemorations demonstrate the perceived influence of the Dartmouth Conferences, so maybe a brief mention (one sentence or less, along with other events that have commemorated them over the years) could be appropriate. A full merge would distract from that article's purpose. Lagrange613 17:57, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
