An advertorially-toned article on an unremarkable organisation. Significant RS coverage not found. What comes up is about the event by the organisation and is PR-like. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:36, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Confreence began in 2003, according to article, but this appears to also be a neologism, which led me to start by looking for it in JSOTR: came up empty. So I tried gNews, which let me down, producing a lot of hits on "postmodern" and a handful on this conference, and these were on design blogs. 10 hits, over half of them on newswire (a press release releasing service) But also this (The Artist as Eco-Architectural Iconoclast; Friedensreich Hundetwasser's `Compost-Modern' Crusade: [FINAL Edition]; Wise, Michael Z. The Washington Post (pre-1997 Fulltext); Washington, D.C. [Washington, D.C] 18 Nov 1990: k01. ) which is earlier than the date claimed, and turned out to be about Friedensreich Hundertwasser, not about this conference, although it does show where the term comes from (COI disclosure: I love his work) The remaining hits were 2 events listings in the West Bay events column of the San Francisco Chornicle, for the 2004 and 2006 conferences. Summing up: I can verify that this design conference happens. But it is not notable. Nor does this appear to be a notable neologism.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:10, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not notable for stand alone article and reads like a press release. Kierzek (talk) 18:41, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
