Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PechaKucha

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. While the keep comments before the latest relisting did not provide confidence (with no disrespect to the editors, including Brian) as none provided any policy or guideline based review, the three comments post the re-list tilt the discussion consensus towards keep.

Apparently this is an advertisement for a technique that is trying to use its trademark to maintain a monopoly on the use of the term. Almost all the refs are to their own publicity.

It might be possible to have a NPOV article, but the first step is deleting this. DGG ( talk ) 00:09, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete seems advertisement and non notable to me.......Sulaimandaud (talk) 16:42, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I would keep the article. I came across the term 'Pecha Kucha style presentation' in some random blog, didn't know what it meant, googled it and found this wikipedia entry. wikipedia fulfilling exactly the job it is designed to do.Quarague (talk) 12:17, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Please keep the article. We do Pecha Kucha presentations in my office. They are fun and effective. It's nice to have this explanation and historical information available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.255.74.131 (talk) 14:03, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Please keep this article. I was looking for a link to describe PechaKucha (which are used at various IT-related conferences) and felt this was appropriate. BrianKelly (talk) 14:10, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• *Fix* Current form doesn't quite reflect the suggestion that it is entirely about publicity. Notability is established by reference to its use in events. There is a little bit of promo stuff but it can be much more easily cleaned up rather than outright deletion. A subject being tied to proprietary IP is in itself no more advertising than, say, Six Sigma or ISO 9001. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ 06:59, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep This certainly seems to be "a thing" as far as formats go (I actually once made one in one of my college classes). There certainly is a good deal of cruft requiring removal and a need to prevent the article from reading like an ad, but I do think the presentation format meets the GNG.

• Keep The article hasn't been updated much since around 2010 but there is more recent media coverage[1][2][3] in addition to that cited (notably the Wired article). Google shows that the term is widely used, well beyond the original commercial applications - in academia, the arts, and other hobbyist contexts. If something is widely used and we have sufficient sources for an article, the article should be improved not deleted. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:46, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
