[edit] Fandemonium
Non-notable gaming event. Ghit testing fails due to the fact that many events also have this name, though this is the first result. Veinor (ヴエノル(talk)) 18:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- It is not "non-notable". Articles have been published in many area newspapers, and the event has been featured on television news broadcasts from ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox affiliates.
- There are no other entertainment expos named Fandemonium, therefore no naming conflict.
- It is not a "gaming event" either. It is a fan convention, featuring science fiction, fantasy, horror, and anime, as well as gaming.Ogredude 18:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- The issue is that there are other events named Fandemonium, such as this Also, area news papers tend to not prove notability, due to the small area of coverage. Though if you could provide proof of coverage by a major news network that isn't just a passing mention, that would definitely help its case. Veinor (ヴエノル(talk)) 18:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't see anything in the WP:V about local newspapers not being a valid source of verifiability.Ogredude 19:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Never said they weren't. I said that coverage in a local newspaper generally isn't enough to warrant notability. Veinor (ヴエノル(talk)) 14:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

- Notability - This organization has had multiple articles about it published in several Idaho newspapers, including The Idaho Statesman, the Idaho Press-Tribune, and the Boise Weekly. Unfortunately, none of these newspapers keep a reliable online archive of their articles. Paper copies of the articles are available. The organization has also been featured on the news of the local CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox affiliates. It has also been reviewed twice by an official representative of Steve Jackson Games.

- Working on it. We need to pull our paper copies of newspaper articles for citation, as none of the newspapers keep online archives. Ogredude 20:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
