Conference on Artificial General Intelligence

Not seeing how this meets WP:GNG. There are plenty of GHITS for "Conference on Artificial General Intelligence", but of those that I have found, they're either unrelated to this conference, are primary sources, or are unreliable ones. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:44, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The claim of non-notability is bogus because the user's search was weak. There are hundreds of hits on scholar.google.com, with links to papers on arXiv.org and dozens of Universities, video record of this conference taking place at Google and other other locations. What more is needed, a star on Hollywood Boulevard? sydhart (talk) 11:26, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found plenty of GHITS with this term. I couldn't find anything third-party on this conference - there are a hell of a lot of hits that come up for all sorts of random things. As I stated in the nom. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:34, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Luke, I don't catch your meaning... "this conference" seems to be an annual event, held in different places. I don't see any search hits that mention a conference other than the one described by the article. At the same time, it seems oddly difficult to find news (or scholarly articles) that discuss the conference rather than simply citing papers from it. Dhart, can you provide some direct links to articles that might be useful? Thanks, groupuscule (talk) 03:01, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are plenty of third party references in the GHITs that report on past and future conferences (and that's just links in the first 3 pages of results!). It's actually disingenious to claim othrewise, and a waste of everyone's time. Why didn't the user link to the GHITs in the in first place? I'd say this nomination is a nuisance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhart (talk • contribs) 08:21, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep: groupuscule, I agree with your synopsis that the references that Luke is finding are generally referring to the same event, and on that note I would normally Speedy Keep. But as Luke points out, the NOTEability of the Conference seems low. Dhart, the links you provide are all those of the conference's own press releases or publications, and do not meet NOTE. That is what Luke said in the nom, so I'd recommend AGF.
That said, I did find several NOTEable references in H+ magazine, real articles written by a 3rd party about the topic. But that's only one source, I'd like to see more to be worthy of an outright keep. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:09, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps try a variation on GHITs. Many 3rd party accounts, particularly in blogs. sydhart (talk) 03:51, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blogs don't satisfy WP:RS 95% of the time. I'm struggling to see RS in your other link as well. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:20, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well there *are* reliable sources, plenty of them (see the Google Scholar link again), also many hours of conference presentations and interviews of speakers and attendees on YouTube, Vimeo, etc., so this nomination is about some subjective standard of 'how many' and 'how reliable' you think they are? What's the standard? Articles in the Wall Steet Journal and video from the CBS Evening News? That would make a pretty odd standard for an academic conference. The conference is *certainly notable* within its field, particularly given the noteriety of many of the speakers and attendees. For example, the *director of research* of Google gave the opening remarks at AGI-11 (he's also the man who literally 'wrote the book', a nearly univerally used unergraduate AI textbook); follow many of the other speaker links to find other people of noteriety in the field. An academic conference is just not the sort of thing that will make the mainstream press. Academic citations are the primary method of establishing both reliability and notability within the field, and I believe that is the standard that should apply here. dhart (talk) 12:14, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
