Just making this noted the the creator of the article has a huge COI because he is the owner or an orgraniser of the convention. When he uploded the logo he declared he held the copyright for it and only the owner / organiser would be able to do so. «l| Promethean ™|l» (talk) 05:35, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Would like to suggest that the COI warning on this page be removed now. Thanks to the publicity this particular deletion discussion has gotten, lots of people have reviewed the article for neutrality and a few have edited to improve NPOV. In the interest of full disclose, I did add a keep comment on the article's deletion discussion. Gatherer818 ( talk) 08:29, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Lots of the POV has been taken out of this stub, now I'm looking at the footnoting. Can someone point out for me where "the name...was chosen by the membership..." is supported by either of the first two cited sources? It is currently cited as [1] but had [1][2] in the past. But I can't find an actual supporting statement in either source. So what am I missing? Franamax ( talk) 01:20, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm not familiar enough yet with the guidelines for Wikipedia's articles quite yet, so just want to ask Discussion to see - Does ALL the information in an article need to be documented by WP:RS, or is it acceptable for some of it to be drawn from sources like the subject's website only? I realize the subject in general needs reliable outside sources to be considered notable, but once WP:N is satisfied, what about the rest of the info? The main reason I ask is that the guests for MystiCon 2012 appearing here doesn't seem that encyclopedic, and the only source I can find for that is the MystiCon website. (links to Wiki guidelines would be helpful so I can learn)

Why isn't there an article for Shevacon? It's been around longer as a continual convention and it's the convention that Mysticon branched off of, and both are based in Roanoke, VA.
