• Comment: Sourcing and formatting needs work, but still is poorly referenced after already being declined for the same reason twice already. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 21:56, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Please add citations which have independently covered the subject and then resubmit. ❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 03:33, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

• Comment: None of these links are secondary sources about the conference. They're all catalogue entries for the book, or a digitized version of it. They wouldn't demonstrate notability for an article on the book itself, and certainly don't for an article on the conference. asilvering (talk) 02:11, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

User:TheChubky the very first source is from the North Carolina Encyclopedia, is an extensive entry entirely about this subject, and was written by Michelle Czaikowski Underhill

at the NC Government & Heritage Library in 2012. How is that a reliable independent source and why doesn't it establish notability for this historic conference and the book it produced? FloridaArmy (talk) 08:34, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

The very first cited source is an encyclopedia entry. Resubmitted. FloridaArmy (talk) 09:09, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
