Article notability and band

[edit]

I was surprised to see this here, as it might not meet the Wikipedia criteria for notability. The previous developer conferences (also mentioned in this article) don't have articles. However, these Google developer conferences have grown since the first two, as this is the first to both spread over two days and charge a registration fee.

I also added mention of a concert by Flight of the Conchords scheduled by Google as part of the conference. There is no public reference I can find of this, other than a mass E-mail sent by Google on April 21 to all registered attendees. Here is a quote:

After Hours with Flight of the Conchords: Plan to attend our After Hours event at the end of the first day, May 28. It will be a great way to unwind, meet other developers, and listen to New Zealand's fourth most popular digi-folk parody band.

Sandboxing the 2013 I/O section

[edit]

2013 (May 15–17, 2013)

[edit]

It was held at Moscone Center, San Francisco and ran from May 15 until May 17, 2013. The registration opened on March 13, 2013 at 7:00 AM PDT (GMT-7).[1]

It took only 49 minutes for all the $900 (or $300 for school students and faculty) tickets to get sold out, even with the added requirement that registrants must have both Google+ and Google Wallet accounts.[2]

Google gave away the following hardware to attendees:

Day 1

  • Android Studio

Table Removal

[edit]

Looks like the table organization was removed last month (2019-04-05). I'm not going to unilaterally undo the removal, but I think that the current layout has less information and is a bit harder to read. Maybe the table needed to be broken up a bit, but I think it worked better than the current layout. 198.52.130.167 (talk) 06:27, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

History section

[edit]

@Drmies: While I agree the History section could have been presented better, I don't think outright removal is the correct step here. Perhaps the use of bulleted lists created the appearance that this was an indiscriminate collection of items, but the bulleted items could have easily been rewritten in prose and passed off as encyclopedic. I do think a summary of each year's event is beneficial to readers. InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:26, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
