This article is unreferenced. From a Google search, I found no usable secondary sources about it. (Note: I found a number of Perl-related articles with these same notability issues. Because their subjects are still distinct and they were created by different editors, I chose not to WP:BUNDLE.) WikiFouf (talk) 04:02, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

- So, The Python Conference page is also unreferenced? Instead of erasing the historical memory of tens of thousands of people who attended those events (I myself attended a couple), what needs to be done is to improve the article so that it has the same quality as the Python Conference page and those for other programming languages. The fact that there are no references to it on Google doesn't mean that there weren't numerous Perl fan pages recounting their experiences from those days. In fact, it's still being held. The last one was this year, in June. There are 125 articles that link to this page. And versions in three languages (Spanish, French, and Dutch). JoaquinFerrero (talk) 20:30, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- I found a nice reference on The Perl Foundation's official website, which recounts the first 25 years. It explains how the conferences organized by the O'Reilly company (The O'Reilly Pearl Conference in 1997) would evolve into the OSCON conference, and later into the YAPC.

- This is a blog post, which does not qualify for Wikipedia's standards for reliability. Please read WP: GNG. HyperAccelerated (talk) 02:36, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- Unless this historical memory appears in secondary sources, Wikipedia will absolutely erase it, regardless if the article is kept. Wikipedia is no place for publication of what was not published before. Regarding fan pages, these usually are not good sources, either. ~2025-41636-00 (talk) 11:52, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is maintained by volunteers. We owe you nothing. The PyCon page also has more than a dozen references; claiming that it's "unreferenced" is pure fiction. HyperAccelerated (talk) 02:35, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- Exactly: the solution is to add References to this page, not delete it. Easy? JoaquinFerrero (talk) 15:16, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- Evidently not, considering you've commented here three times without presenting a single source that establishes the subject's notability. HyperAccelerated (talk) 16:36, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Did a WP: BEFORE, found a couple small blurbs in books, but nothing that would be enough to write an article. HyperAccelerated (talk) 02:37, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
