With 2017's MineCon being a 90 minute live show, how can you consider MineCon to be an ongoing convention? I think that in the article introduction, we should call MineCon a "former" convention, since it is now only a livestream. Jamesjpk ( talk) 03:29, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

MINECON → MineCon – In October 2019 it was moved from MineCon to the all-caps MINECON. Sourced provided by @ Nixinova: were primary sources: the Minecraft official website and the Minecraft twitter account. The Minecraft Wiki is also very close to the subject. @ CAPTAIN MEDUSA: supported the requested move, because the logo and posts in the Minecraft community are written as such. Per WP:TITLEFORMAT, WP:MOSCAPS, WP:ALLCAPS and WP:ACRO and MOS:CAPSACRS, I feel this was an incorrect move. MineCon, a contraction of Minecraft and the word "convention", does not need to be written in all capital letters; it's not an acronym, like NASA or NATO.
Regardless, the names of article titles are based upon the usage in reliable sources, independent of how the actual subject might write it. A search of "minecon" on the WP:VG/RS custom Google search engine, brings up several reliable sources, independent of the subject Minecraft, that use MineCon (and also Minecon).
And there are plenty more RS'es that use "Minecon". There are of course some instances of the all caps version (Shacknews: "Minecraft Nether Update revealed at MINECON Live 2019"), but with the majority of sources using "Minecon" and Wikipedia's guidelines and the discouraged use of all caps, I think it should be moved back to MineCon (or even "Minecon"). soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 10:19, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello! Not sure if what's already in the 2021 section would apply to this but one of the MInecraft devs actually replied to a user stating that some more stuff involving the latest update will be shown at Minecraft Live 2021. I'm not completely sure this is already mentioned (if it is it's unsourced so maybe we could use the tweet reply as a source?) so I'm just mentioning it here just in case.

Minecon → Minecraft Live – The past three Minecraft-related conferences have been called Minecraft Live instead of Minecon, even on the main website. For this reason, I am to be believed that this should be renamed Minecraft Live per WP:NAMECHANGES. -- PanchamBro ( talk • contributions) 21:31, 4 January 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.
