International Conference on Clifford Algebras

This article is about a triennial academic conference, but the article provides no indication of general notability or event notability, because it says nothing about what third parties have written about the conference or why the conference is notable, such as what mathematical accomplishments have been announced at the conference, or what mathematical collaborations have resulted from the conference. The only reference appears to be a biography of William Kingdon Clifford, the developer of Clifford algebras. The book is probably evidence of the notability of its subject, William Kingdon Clifford, and of his main work, Clifford algebras, and the articles about them are not being questioned. This conference may be run-of-the-mill, in that there are many annual or triennial academic conferences, some of which are notable, and this article does not say why this one is.

There is also a draft, which appears to be identical to this article. This article cannot be moved unilaterally to draft space because there is already a draft. So this article should be deleted while the draft is retained for possible expansion as to why this conference is notable. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:20, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

• Delete. Per WP:GNG. Really finding it difficult it prove any notability for this at all. Ajf773 (talk) 10:16, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
• Delete It's not often that an academic conference, or even a series of academic conferences, is worth having an article about. What is there to say, really? People meet, drink coffee, sit in bad chairs, tolerate the talks for the sake of the conversations, hit the pub, and hop on a plane to burn carbon on the way home. Per Earwig, the opening lines of this article are copyvio anyway. XOR'easter (talk) 14:35, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
• Comment - I wouldn't be comfortable voting to delete this article without access to a copy of the book, which includes a chapter called "The Clifford Heritage". Unfortunately, I wasn't able to access the book online. Suriname0 (talk) 00:27, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
