non notable convention.The references appear to be a mix of PR and notices, and there's no reason why a local convention would have anything else. DGG ( talk ) 21:40, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - Note: I am the creator of the article. While the sourcing is not the strongest, we have coverage from local (The Times) and two statewide sources (Inside INdiana Business, Chicago Tribune). I believe with this mix, Ramencon meets the minimum for notability, but weakly. Esw01407 (talk) 23:51, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep - As the article creator suggested, the sourcing is not the best, but the coverage the convention has received from the Chicago Tribune (a well-regarded newspaper) makes me inclined to think that the article passes our notability guidelines, if barely.

• Delete -- "the first anime convention in Northwest Indiana" is hardly a claim to notability, and significant RS coverage that discusses the subject directly and in detail not found. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:00, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - very small convention with no significant coverage from RSs outside of the local newspaper. Cjhard (talk) 08:10, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There is not enough local or even state coverage to establish notability, especially in the lack of a claim to significance. ThePortaller (talk) 15:41, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Delete I've removed the egregiously-excessive annual details. There's not a good case for notability here, but no other case to delete the article other than a lack of notability is presented. Power~enwiki (talk) 23:59, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep Normally I abstain from qualifiers, but I find myself agreeing with Power~enwiki a little bit. The mentions aren't real great, but I feel they just get in through the GNG. NWItimes, a Tribune article and another Tribune mention is good enough for me. L3X1 (distænt write) )evidence( 13:05, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Delete I'm sorry but I just don't see this passing WP:GNG, the coverage doesn't really go that in depth on the subject. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:23, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
