A local high school athletic conference. I can not find significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. This is like hundreds of athletic conferences across the US. ~~ GB fan ~~ talk 15:03, 5 July 2010 (UTC) reply
I consider local sources that have a reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight to be sufficient sources to establish notability. That there are sources from multiple newspapers discussing the conference demonstrates the impact it has had on the community. Though ref #2 may not seem to establish notability, ref #1 clearly does in that it provides an analysis of the benefits and negatives of the conferences. Ref #3 also demonstrates that the community deems it important enough to seek to salvage it. I stand by my position that this article should be kept since it passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Cunard ( talk) 06:09, 20 July 2010 (UTC) reply
No organization is considered notable except to the extent that independent sources demonstrate that it has been noticed by people outside of the organization. These criteria constitute an optional, alternative method for demonstrating notability. Organizations are considered notable if they meet the sourcing requirements of
- these alternate criteria, and/or
- the primary criteria, and/or
- the general notability guideline.
I have demonstrated that Apollo Conference passes the general notability guideline, which means that it passes WP:CLUB#Alternate criteria for specific types of organizations as well. Cunard ( talk) 06:41, 20 July 2010 (UTC) reply
