See WP:CORPDEPTH. Lacks in-depth sourcing to substantiate notability; a list of past conferences held does not meant that the event is notable. If this article does remain, it needs to be substantially balanced, as the article was almost entirely written by User:EduardSi, the person who organises the conference in a positive, promotional tone, and there have been some troubling (and frankly, concerning) revelations about misogyny at the conference that soon will become secondary sourced, it would not be DUE to have a page about the conf without discussing the fake speakers & organisers controversy. Worth nothing: this is not the first time DevTernity has been proposed for deletion; previously it was proposed without Conference after it. lizthegrey (talk) 20:40, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

- I withdraw this nomination. There's WP:SIGCOV now.[1][2] And at least two other stories running I know of because I've spoken to journalists. lizthegrey (talk) 22:14, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
