Talk:Online Educa Berlin

Article Name change

Hello,

I am wiritng on behalf of the OEB team and we would appreciate if the title of the page 'Online Educa Berlin' could be changed to 'OEB'. We no longer actively assosciate ourselves with the old event name and would like this to be clear for anyone who is reading about us anywhere. :)

I am not able to edit the title myself, hence why I have written here.

Greetings from Berlin, Berit

Please note that the "OEB" title is currently taken by a disambiguation page. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience in page moves, and the edit request template may not be the best choice, so I have replaced it with a "help me" template to ask others for advice. It would also be helpful if you added some sources mentioning the discontinuation of using the old name. Hopefully other editors will be able to help. Regards, VB00 (talk) 08:13, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't see that the OEB meets Wikipedia's standards for inclusion, neither the general notability guideline or more specialized guielines for organizations or events. There's extremely little media coverage, next to none in mainstream publications, and the article does not cite a single reliable third-party source. Thus I'll propose the article for deletion. If the article could be improved enough to show that the conference is notable (and my searches found no indication of that), then the title should be whatever it is most commonly referred to in independent sources. If that most common name is "OEB", we would need to disambiguate and make it something like "OEB (conference)". Huon (talk) 10:05, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello,

this is to answer the "solved" answer to my quesiton on Online Educa wiki page. Your "solved answer": I'm sorry, but I don't see that the OEB meets Wikipedia's standards for inclusion, neither the general notability guideline or more specialized guielines for organizations or events. There's extremely little media coverage, next to none in mainstream publications, and the article does not cite a single reliable third-party source. Thus I'll propose the article for deletion.

Thank you for the response, but I do not belive the lack of third party support is correct at all. Our conference is 22 years old and is still one of the leading in the edtech and ICT indsustry. We are constantly convered by various media, usually peaking around Nov-January when the event takes place. Some press coverage can be found here https://oeb.global/media/press/press-releases and a singular simple example from BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/business-38289079. More articles constantly published about the event https://oeb-insights.com/ or a simple Google News search https://www.google.de/search?q=oeb+conference&oq=oeb+conference&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3j0l2.2567j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=oeb+conference&safe=off&tbm=nws and https://www.google.de/search?q=oeb+conference&oq=oeb+conference&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3j0l2.2567j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#safe=off&tbm=nws&q=online+educa+conference+berlin . Searched with OEB are still a bit thin due to the name change, but this is why we are inquiring the name change here as well, in order to turn this around.

Could the name now be changed to OEB (conference) or is this not possible? I will improve the article meanwhile as we provide a hugly considerable discussion to the edtech and ICT industry in both education and business.

Kind regards, Berit — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.191.194.117 (talk) 15:13, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
