[edit] Daigacon

Daigacon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

No assertion of notability on an anime convention that has yet to happen (WP:CRYSTAL). Was tagged with {{notability}} on December 30. Only known references are a listing at AnimeCons.com and the convention's website. Would not pass WP:CORP by a long shot. --Farix (Talk) 15:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

With the recent "update", it's been transformed into an WP:ADVERT, so I'm including that as an addition reason for the nomination. --Farix (Talk) 21:21, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable convention that started this last year. :: Colin Keigher (Talk) 16:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

  They haven't even held their first convention, so it couldn't have "started" last year. Planning period isn't included in when calculating the lifetime of a convention. --Farix (Talk) 17:51, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

  Sorry. I was basing this on the infobox, not the top header. My mistake! I should have known better considering I improved the infobox! :: Colin Keigher (Talk) 17:57, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment The event has happened under a different name and has a non-profit group of the same name running it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.6.22.65 (talk • contribs) 20:38, 13 January 2007

  While that may be the case, there is no evidence to back this up. :: Colin Keigher (Talk) 20:51, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

  It was called Games Day and joined with another organization to create Daigacon. Here is the best proof I can find. Image:Games day.JPG {{subst:unsigned|Silentsam84}

  An uploaded image isn't even remotely reliable. But it leads me to believe that these are two different conventions instead of the same convention under different names. --Farix (Talk) 19:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. -- 9muses 01:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Currently non-notable...even if the guest list (with Yoko Ishida) is promising. If it did run under another name, I'd sure like to know what that name was.--PatrickD 04:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - per nom. No assertion of notability, reads like an advert. Basically, this one is complete balls, and here the balls are made of crystal. Moreschi ^Deletion! 22:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
