Comment Well, naturally keep if notability can be established; but that's exactly what we're tying to determine in this discussion: is the article notable? -- P.B. Pilhet / Talk 16:48, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Comment I have worked hevily to include all possible references retaining to this article. Images have been fixed and the content has been edited to common Wikipedia standards in effort to keep the article up. Fireicefalcon 16:46 9 Feb 2007/ Talk

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Anime and manga-related deletions. -- Farix (Talk) 14:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Not enough reliable third-party sources given to establish notability. Google search comes up with 8 hits, none of which are reliable sources. And finally, most of the article is unverifiable outside of primary sources. --Farix (Talk) 14:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC) P.S. Let me also add in WP:COI issues considering this edit to a user's talk page.[1]
• Comment I am Sorry That I am unable to retrive all the information. Archives that use to show notablility no longer have the article. If conflict of interest is a problem, I assure you that my position in this should not be a confliction with the article. --[User:Fireicefalcon|Fireicefalcon] 11:03a 7 February (EST) P.s The talk page was simply asking what was wrong and what could be fixed to make the article a quality addition to Wikipedia.
  
• Comment I have found notability and will list them here if I may.
  1) the Genericon convention book
  2)anime gamers alliance's calendar in google's cache-

Genericon Conbook (Page 6, lefthand side, second from the bottom
Currently the Times union article has been taken down while they repair the archives --Fireicefalcon 02:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)"I bless you in the name of the Yaoi, Yuri, and Bishonen"

• CommentIs this organization directly involved with the Genericon? If so, I say merge sourced essentials into that article. Danski14 05:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

  Comment UNYCS is a separate entity entirely from Genericon. Genericon is a college-run anime/gaming/webcomic convention (RPI). UNYCS is a non-profit cosplay club. fujisawa noon, 2/8/07 (EST)

• Comment TimesUnion has reposted the article. fujisawa 11:35am, 2/9/07 (EST)

  Comment One independent article is not sufficient to pass the primary notability criteria, much less any of the other criteria in WP:ORG. --Farix (Talk) 15:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
