The result was no consensus‎. This widely participated AfD suffered from obvious canvassing, as witnessed by the many inexperienced WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS-based votes. But even after discarding all those, we're still left with many P&G-based views on both sides.

Some correctly pointed out that WP:NOTNEWS doesn't prohibit us from covering events, if notability, as measured by SIGCOV, is well beyond the routine. Others correctly noted that the mere weeks elapsed since the event prevents any coverage from meeting the endurance test.

After two weeks and with over 40 participants, consensus failed to materialize, and is unlikely to appear with another relist or two. Feel free to renominate in three months, when with the benefit of hindsight, we'll get a better idea about the enduring impact of this event. Owen× ☎ 22:04, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
