Key Points

A user shared that their NeurIPS 2026 position paper was desk-rejected with comments stating it violated the formatting rules, not the strength of the title.
The submitter initially suspected the rejection might be due to the paper title not being strong enough for a position paper.
They asked whether others have encountered similar desk rejections, noting this was their first submission to the top conference.
They previously submitted a position-paper-style manuscript to ICML and were rejected for insufficient empirical evaluation.

Anyone get desk rejected email today? I got and it said
Desk Reject Comments: This submission violates the formatting rules and has been desk rejected.

I thought it was because my paper title was not strong enough to be a position paper.

Have you encountered this? Sorry, first time submitting to this top conference. Actually I submitted to ICML previously (position paper as well) and got rejected due to lack of empirical evaluation.
