AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article uses primary sources, and a search doesn't produce this convention as one of the first results. Fails WP:GNG. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 04:01, 4 January 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nomination withdrawn per WP:SNOW and WP:NOTCLEANUP; the sources found by Shelbystripes are sufficient. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 18:57, 4 January 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oppose - The article includes a list of multiple reliable secondary sources as references; they just aren't properly used as in-line citations. It clearly needs improvement, but notability appears to exist and is WP:LASTING. Beyond the 2005-era references mentioned in the article, but it was given in-depth international coverage in 2013, analyzed for its economic influence on Silicon Valley in 2014, given a nationwide exposé in 2015, mentioned as a driver of the San Jose economy in 2017... AfD is not cleanup, and it sounds like the nominator didn't adequately search for sources WP:BEFORE nominating. I found those stories in about 30 seconds.

Keep I just searched 'Further Confusion' and the Furcon official website came up as the first result, does in fact meet WP:GNG. The only real issue I came across after reading the article was a lack of inline citations which is easy cleanup and doesn't at all constitute deletion.
