[edit] Another Anime Convention

non-notable event/convention CobaltBlueTony 20:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as non-notable; Google gets 291 hits, none of which seem to be the sort of mainstream publications that usually confer notability. Sandstein 21:07, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. I prod'ded this but it was removed by the author. Danny Lilithborne 00:46, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

(The following copied from the article's talk page:)

Why I think this article should not be deleted.
I believe AAC is a notable convention. It had 534 attendees in it's first year and will continue to grow. This article is to give people the history of AAC and information on the convention along with links to other such notable conventions. This is not a unworthy article and still has more to be added. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sweetheart143 (talk • contribs) 07:11, 14 October 2006.

  • Keep 534 isn't bad for a first year anime con. Listed at AnimeCons.com, which is a start towards WP:V. Crystal ball doesn't apply because they already have a year in the books. I'd suggest a NPOV rewrite. --RoninBKTCE# 11:16, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I'm the webmaster of AnimeCons.com. ALL anime conventions are listed there...so a link from that site really isn't anything notable. --PatrickD 03:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete The number of attendees doesn't make an anime convention notable, low or high. Has it had any significant coverage by any reliable sources? --Kunzite 14:48, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Not that I can see - even taking into account the fact that there may be a few Ghits for people talking about "another anime convention" in a generic sense, there aren't many results, mostly advertising the event on forums, and no news sources that I could find.
