There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would prefer we remove this example as it is misleading, possibly even incorrect.
Many events in the last 20 years have URLs for the event itself, containing an invitation, registry, photo album, etc. Many within the last 10 years have a URL as their only location: the online meeting address. These are worth recording as they convey something about the event itself (how it was held) and can sometimes be used to look up sources in web archive repositories (like archive.org and many others). These are separate from the URL of sources: a wayback machine URL is not the URL of the event, it is the URL of the record in the Internet Archive, and both might be separate from the URL of a separately-created record in an online or in-person archive or database.
