Detroit by Design - 2011 Symposium[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This symposium does not appear to be noteable, as no information from news articles or similar reliable sources could be found. Article is currently not much more than a directory with a lead section and a list of dates and times of the various events that are occuring at the symposium. –Dream out loud (talk) 05:28, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Changed for Your Approval - Spent time correcting your suggestions. Seems like a powerful impact on Detroit, using case studies from around the world. I've never uploaded a wiki page before, and obviously have some difficulties - Mweisgerb 10:53, 22 April 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.90.17 (talk) [reply]

Comment Changes still don't establish notability. Sources must be able to show that out of the thousands of symposiums that take place every year, how is this one especially notable or more important. Most of the sources are simply information about the symposium's location, times, and events. None establish its notability. –Dream out loud (talk) 17:18, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to above - I've spoken with the originating contributor and he seems to think that a Detroit newspaper is going to be running a feature on the thing. Something to do with the AIA belatedly realising that they had got their PR wrong. I've offered to help the contributor if/when the info turns up, assuming it is useful info. Could I suggest that the article be moved into the originator's userspace until that time? - Sitush (talk) 17:23, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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