The Cowtown Computer Congress

Tagged for notability since September, 2009, I can find no significant third-party coverage to establish the notability of this building. I am unsure of the reliability of Ink Magazine, but I assume good faith that it is reliable, but one RS doesn't cut it for me. ArcAngel (talk) ) 10:10, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable organization. Here's another reliable source, ~~but it's also a Kansas City publication. See the notability guideline for orgs, under "Audience". Attention from solely local media does not indicate notability.~~ --Pnm (talk) 20:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment. (1) The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is not a local Kansas City publication any more than a Philadelphia paper would be local for New York City: St Louis and KC are two distinct (and quite large) metro areas. However, the mention in the cited source from St. Louis appears to be incidental. (2) The Cowtown Computer Congress does show up in other hacker-friendly media, such as the websites of Make[1] and NYC Resistor[2], but I am not sure if these mentions are substantial enough. (3) A hackerspace in a cave 85 feet below the surface of Kansas City is inherently interesting, but it's unclear if these are enough under WP:ORG and WP:GNG.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:10, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- (1) Brain fart. Thanks for pointing that out. (3) Apparently not interesting enough for anyone to write about, though. --Pnm (talk) 01:21, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not really seeing anything here or in the article that suggests this passes our WP:ORG guidelines. Substantial coverage by reliable sources seems not to exist. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:48, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
