I'm not sure this burgeoning media/entertainment conference meets notability guidelines. WP:NEVENT states that events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect. The coverage so far seems limited and all published very close to the event, and I'm having trouble finding much more than that already in the article. Since this is the inaugural event, maybe future editions will garner more coverage. JTtheOG (talk) 06:35, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Helloo! I'm the author of the page! Just saw this message. Yep, I attended the event a couple of weeks ago. Decided to write about it since it was titled as the first of its kind in the state. From what I remember, it got decent coverage both locally and maybe even statewide, with a pretty good audience turnout. A few news channels featured it too post event. I figured it was worth creating the article now, especially since future editions might get more coverage and notability just like JTtheOG mentioned. Some of the speakers mentioned the next one is planned for December or January on a large scale. I didn’t really rushed into creating the article haha, just thought it’d be good to have it up in case there’s more to add later. Feel free to check it against the notability guidelines and decide if it’s worth keeping or nope :). Thanks! IcedKoffee (talk) 15:55, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say userfy until that happens. Article is decent quality but doesn't yet meet notability standards. Gommeh ➡️ Talk to me 16:15, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That or draftiying are good ATDs. It can give @IcedKoffee: ample time to add more references, specifically about future events, before returning the article to the mainspace. Cheers, JTtheOG (talk) 19:29, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, makes sense. I’m guessing there’ll be updates if stuff happens again soon, so I’ll keep an eye on it if it pops up in the same city. Also, do you think it’s worth just saving the article for now and maybe checking back in a couple months to see if there's recognition or no? Maybe someone else who knows more about this event or come across it will update it if I forget or can’t get to it lol. Not totally sure if that’s a good idea, just throwing it out there in case it actually makes sense haha (You guys know better!). Thoughts? @Gommeh @JTtheOG :) IcedKoffee (talk) 18:03, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I still say it may be better to userfy or draftify until it meets notability standards. »Gommeh 18:05, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify until WP:NEVENT and notability standards are met. Good luck IcedKoffee on getting this page back to the mainspace in the future! 🙂 Johnson524 16:18, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
