[edit] Daisho Con

Daisho Con (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Disputed prod of an anime convention that has not held its first event yet. Does not assert notability or provide reliable third-party sources from which notability can be presumed. Also, we can't predict notability at a future date. --Farix (Talk) 20:08, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Save According to the link provided by Farix, this article should only be deleted "If preparation for the event is not already in progress". Also, the event has already been listed as certain to take place by animecons.com, a reliable third-party source used in other pages such as No Brand Con. Furthermore, article clearly doesn't fall under extrapolation, or systematic system of names, as listed in WP:CBALL Also, the page does not rely on presumed information about just a future event, but about efforts taken in the past. capitocapito - Talk 04:13, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Animecons.com is a directory listing and does not count towards the subject's notability. Also, since this convention hasn't happened yet, we cannot assume that it has already be covered by any other reliable third-party sources. Saying that it will be notable or will be covered by a third-party source in the near future is crystal balling. --Farix (Talk) 11:07, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
  • And creating copies of an article that is at AFD in your userspace in order to "save it" is not appropriate. --Farix (Talk) 21:38, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, no notability established. A future event could be notable if there is major advance press about it, or the event itself will "obviously" be notable (trivial "upcoming events" listings do not qualify). As that is lacking, WP:CRYSTAL applies. Weregerbil (talk) 08:19, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - it might become notable in the future, but at this point, there exists only directory entries to support existence -- Whpq (talk) 12:04, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete unless citations from reliable sources are added to comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 18:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete for now, since having a wikipedia article for a planned event is a bit pointless. Once the event has been held and/or reliable sources have been made available, then this article can be remade then, with proper references. --nyoro~! Highwind888 (talk) 03:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
