Lack of reliable sources aside from several Phoenix New Time articles. Rest are fansites, voice actors personal websites, or blogs. Esw01407 (talk) 23:21, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - While I could find several sources, most are local in nature, and the rest are promotional material or sites of questional reliability. No prejudice against recreation if future iterations receive more coverage. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 04:58, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak develop, maybe This con seems to get regular coverage by Phoenix New Times, which is good, but not nationally, other than that it gets mentioned by ANN that it is happening. It doesn't appear that ANN is sending any reporters there to summarize events. It's only after having to dig around that it has recently (like 2016 and 2017) attracted some of the big seiyuus from Japan such as Yuu Asakawa, Kappei Yamaguchi, Yuko Sanpei and Akemi Kanda; attendance is about 1500 increasing to 3200. However, I wouldn't keep this if most of the anime industry doesn't really care about using this convention for promoting anything. I only see one person from Viz Media who regularly attends, and have no idea who the other sponsors are. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 07:58, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Passing coverage isn't enough for notability here. If someone wants to Userfy the page, I would not be opposed to that per WP:REFUND. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:19, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
