The result was keep. WP:FRINGE does not neccessarily exclude a topic from inclusion into Wikipedia. However, I do not think fringe applies in the way we'd all like it to. Despite being a fringe science, Cold Fusion actually serves a prominent place in popular culture, science fiction, and fringe science alike. A conference on the subject would not neccessarily fall to the levels of fringe, then, as would a conference about Hollow Earth. From a pure WP:GNG standpoint, this AFD has resulted in a huge improvement to the article which makes me question at least some of the delete !votes which prempted these improvements. In fact, most of the !votes came before these improvements. Taking into the fact that the new references were highly discussed on this AFD before being introduced to the article, though, means that I cannot discount those votes on their timing alone. Several folks have said that WP:GNG is not met if the sources are not about the conference. I quote GNG "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." The only other argument to delete, then, is that the coverage is not significant enough to write a decent article but the current version of the article defeats that argument as well. Thusly, I see a discussion that has stronger arguments towards keep. If it were a !vote count, this may be a no consensus. But as an examination of the argument, we have a keep result. v/r - TP 7:06 pm, Yesterday (UTC−7) [ By an administrator ]
