It's my hope that this article will survive the process of being slowly expanded, at least enough to provide some good information. I'm surprised no article exists treating this conference. It's existed for years, and I'm told it's the largest of its kind in the world. It inspired the name and setting of
a major, award-winning documentary by HBO. It's notable by anybody's standards.

Ideal Stub
I don't necessarily have all the information, by the way, to produce a page which is ideal enough to not immediately qualify for deletion (apparently), but I'd like to germinate enough of a page for people to fill in information, if they have it. So I'm trying to follow the information from
Wikipedia:Stub.

Wikipedia refuses to allow links
I have been trying to edit this stub, but Wikipedia hasn't made it easy. You can't add links to Yahoo Groups, YouTube, Blogger, Facebook, etc. if they're "self advertising." Though I've seen other entries with those same links. I am the moderator of the Southern Comfort Conference Yahoo Group, a staff member of the conference and a long-time attendee. I was hoping to expand the entry to make it more relevant; maybe we need to get other people working on this?

The problem is that none of those are
reliable sources. We need some evidence of
notability via coverage in the press, books, etc. Generally, the only time you will see a link to a blog or other "social media" site is if that is a subject's own official primary official site. (And yes, as a staff member, etc., you have a definite
conflict of interest and should not have edited this article when someone else created it.) --

There are four newspaper articles from not notable sources. These are also primary sources. What made you use the word 'reliable'?

? Sovo.com is the website for Southern Voice, a perfectly fine
reliable source for news coverage in that field. It's the local counterpart to the Washington Blade and the like. My only quibble is that some of these four articles are not primarily about the conference; but there's at least one good solid one there, and links to further coverage can be found on the Voice website. --

Skrewler, I don't understand the issue. If you think Southern Voice is not a reliable source, you need to have a look at
Southern Voice, and at the main website. Pointing at WP:V is useless here, and the requirement that information be published in another publication as well is ludicrous: are you requiring that every source be doubled, so to speak?

One article in a non-mainstream news publication isn't a reliable source, but if this conference was also covered by many different publications then we could argue that this info is verifiable. Anyways, find some sources or whatever, I'm going to AfD this in a couple days and we can go from there.
