This article is Listcruft, largely redundant with List of anime conventions, and contains information which can already be found on individual convention Wikipedia pages. Looking at the citation links, it's also obvious that almost all the information is from one source. PatrickD (talk) 01:15, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:TNT, to put it bluntly this article is a complete mess. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:49, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete for the WP:NOTSTATS no context as to why the attendance figures are important. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 06:03, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The majority of cons are small regional gatherings and therefore there doesn't seem to be much point in ranking their attendance. That takes care of most of the list, and for the bigger ones I question the need to compare them at all. The over reliance on one source which let's be honest has always been doubted does not really help.SephyTheThird (talk) 10:02, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Kill It With Fire please. Individual articles cover it much better then this list, no point for it to exist. Esw01407 (talk) 15:00, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• I should add that when I see an article like this, my first question is: is there a corresponding category for each part of the X and Y? So yes we have Category:Anime and manga lists, but I don't see Category:Conventions by attendance or anything like Category:Attendance-related lists, and for me, that's significant.

• Delete - no evidence of WP:GNG sufficient for a stand-alone list Spiderone 20:44, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Besides the article is too Western-centric and relies on a single source. Plus, I don't think convention attendance is a defining factor of such cons anyway. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:46, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTSTATS. All content uplifted from a single source.Ajf773 (talk) 17:55, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
