Weak Keep I believe that this is notable in the fact that it is a free convention, and it deserves a place on Wiki. As do many other smaller conventions that exist in the country. If we start allowing small conventions to have a place on Wikipedia, it will help the communities and conventions grow, and allow people more options when looking for conventions, especially local ones. -

Delete. I currently see no strong evidence of notability. One press release published by a local paper doesn't really cut it. See
WP:V. --

Delete There are some problems here. The page was proposed for deletion but the above user has created an AFD discussion as a means to resolve that prod. I'm not sure what the procedure is under these circumstances. However this is an non notable convention. As this article was made by a single purpose account (no edits unrelated to this article) it's hard to imagine this being anything less than blatant promotion, either by the organisers or a person who is simply interested in the con. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it is not for promoting local events.

Delete. A local event covered in a local newspaper does not meet notability guidelines, as I state in the PROD.

Delete – All in favor of promoting local events, but WP is not supposed to be for promotion. There are better venues for that. We also need more in-depth sources. –

Delete Fails notability guidelines, a local non notable small event. I also went ahead and declined the PROD that had been left on the page since the article is at AfD.

Delete No notability in the form of reliable sources = No article here on Wikipedia. -

Comment. It should be noted that the "weak keep" vote above is from the creator of the page.

I agree and feel it would qualify as a
WP:SNOW delete at this point. -

I agree, the article speaks for itself and the response is consistent.
