Weak Keep I believe that this is notable in the fact that it is a free convention, and it deserves a place on Wiki. As do many other smaller conventions that exist in the country. If we start allowing small conventions to have a place on Wikipedia, it will help the communities and conventions grow, and allow people more options when looking for conventions, especially local ones. - Rikuskellington (talk) 02:42, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not for promotional purposes or to tell the world about your good causes. Events must be shown to be notable with many sources. 331dot (talk) 11:56, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2015 January 26. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 11:08, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I currently see no strong evidence of notability. One press release published by a local paper doesn't really cut it. See WP:V. --Dweller (talk) 11:12, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There are some problems here. The page was proposed for deletion but the above user has created an AFD discussion as a means to resolve that prod. I'm not sure what the procedure is under these circumstances. However this is an non notable convention. As this article was made by a single purpose account (no edits unrelated to this article) it's hard to imagine this being anything less than blatant promotion, either by the organisers or a person who is simply interested in the con. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it is not for promoting local events.SephyTheThird (talk) 11:17, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A local event covered in a local newspaper does not meet notability guidelines, as I state in the PROD. 331dot (talk) 11:54, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – All in favor of promoting local events, but WP is not supposed to be for promotion. There are better venues for that. We also need more in-depth sources. – Margin1522 (talk) 12:08, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails notability guidelines, a local non notable small event. I also went ahead and declined the PROD that had been left on the page since the article is at AfD. Safiel (talk) 16:27, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No notability in the form of reliable sources = No article here on Wikipedia. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:56, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It should be noted that the "weak keep" vote above is from the creator of the page. 331dot (talk) 01:31, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and feel it would qualify as a WP:SNOW delete at this point. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:49, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the article speaks for itself and the response is consistent.SephyTheThird (talk) 16:18, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
