Comment I have added some RS to the article. I haven't investigated notability yet, but there is verifiable material. Spam magnet is not a good reason for deletion; we don't delete articles because we are too lazy to maintain them. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 16:10, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. I don't think it's fair to call PyCon "a "random conference". PyCon is the primary Python programming conference.[1][2][3][4] The 2019 conference had more than 3,500 participants and is the largest gathering for the Python community.[5] PyCon 2020 was listed as (one of) "The best software engineering conferences (to attend) of 2020" and "As Python becomes ever more popular in the scientific community and for big data, the influence of PyCon will continue to grow."[6]

It is supported by many significant companies: Microsoft[7], Google[8] Facebook[9]

I'll add these into the main article.
