Random conference with no assertion of notability, spam magnet, 100% self-sourced article. Guy (help!) 23:39, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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 nearly 3,400 participants and is the largest gathering for the Python community.[5] It has been going for around 17 years, and has spawned more than 40 other PyCons around the world.[6][7] 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."[8]

It is supported by many significant companies: Microsoft[9], Google[10] Facebook[11]

I'll add these into the main article.

Keep. The article definitely needs revamping and more sources. However, I don't agree with the delete. This is the foremost conference for one of the most important programming languages out there. Alan Islas (talk) 16:26, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it is a good topic, although needs more work but should not be deleted. Nika2020 (talk) 18:08, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - significant changes have been made to the article since the nomination, which clearly assert the conference's notability. Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 19:57, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
