This article about a series of online conferences in the 1990s was created by the conference organiser. Per the article itself much of the conference materials have not survived. The only online refs I can find are authored by the same individual. Note that a search for ‘Elecsim’ brings up materials on simulation models of the same name, not about the conferences. Nothing to demonstrate that the topic passes WP:ORGCRIT. Mccapra (talk) 21:37, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Online search brings up mere mentions in books and a scarcity of otherwise direct references. -The Gnome (talk) 05:53, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: The main problem with this article is its lack of content. The subject of the article is a conference, but the article briefly mentions the circumstances surrounding the subject instead of the subject itself. To wit: What was the subject of the conference? Who participated? What was discussed in it? What was the nature of its "success" that led to three other followups? What impact did it have on the industry? (Did it actually impact an industry?) In the language of analogy, this article's affair is like the case of a person wanting to make steak; he/she prepares everything needed, except meat!

• Delete - it seems that Roger Smith, who created Elecsim also created the article, which is WP:COI - the article has no references that establish notability, has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" as required by WP:GNG - not notable; therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 01:31, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
