Hoi,
There are several things at play. First, Wikimania and its talks will find
its place in Wikidata because typically much of the papers, presentations
and registrations will be found in Commons. So they will be registered
anyway. Second, this thread is also about the way our policies are
maintained. This is done in an arbitrary way and consequently much of the
arguments based on policies have lost much of their validity. Third, the
number of items involved is so low that it not even registers. When other
conferences like TED find their way, it is not a problem so why should
granularity be a problem now?
When people want to know about how we think about what we do, the Wikimania
talks is a prime resource. Papers are published about what we do. We could
easily refer people to Wikimania and other talks. We could and should
because it makes sense to do so. In the end it is our history.
Thanks,
GerardM
