Table of conference dates and locations

I don't see how the deleted table of conference dates and locations ([1]) differs significantly from similar tables in other articles, for example American Society for Mass Spectrometry, Solvay Conference, European Conference on Computational Biology, Nobel Conference, ISSPIC, etc. The elements of WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:NOTWEBHOST do not seem to be applicable here. --Kkmurray (talk) 19:58, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's totally uninteresting and unencyclopedic information. This kind of fluff belongs on the website of the organization itself. As for the WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, those lists should be removed from those articles, too. Perhaps I'll find time in the next few days to do that, but there's WP:NODEADLINE, of course. --Randykitty (talk) 22:41, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let's assume that you have made those edits and I have reverted them based on what I see as WP:ITSCRUFT/WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC arguments. Is there any point in further discussion here or are we at an impasse? --Kkmurray (talk) 18:15, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We're not talking WP:AFD here. --Randykitty (talk) 15:28, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are tables or lists of conference dates and locations acceptable content for articles about those conferences or the associated societies? --Kkmurray (talk) 17:58, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they are, IF there are independent reliable sources about those meetings. If it's just a listing on where a society has held their a nnual meetings, it's directory stuff that belongs on the organizations own website, but not in an encyclopedia. --Randykitty (talk) 18:22, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This reference tabulates the first 15 meetings from 1958 through 2000: doi:10.1002/jms.131. This reference which was deleted[2][3] describes the 19th meeting in 2012: doi:10.5702/massspectrometry.K0005. These references describe the meetings through 2009: doi:10.1016/B978-0-08-043848-1.00031-6 and doi:10.1016/B978-0-08-043848-1.00032-8. In addition, the meeting is typically reviewed by one or more of the mass spectrometry journals and published as a correspondence. --Kkmurray (talk) 20:21, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
