[edit] SYDCON
Non-notable gaming conventions. Prods were added and removed, but no sources were added; notability tags were added and removed, but no sources were added. With no secondary coverage and none forthcoming, they fail to meet WP:N and should be deleted.

- Comment: I am not certain why these 2 conventions are any less notable than other conventions listed at Gaming convention. Because conventions are hardly a minstream activity I would not expect them to be mentioned in the mainstream press who I suspect would not see convention participants as part of their readership hence perhaps a lack of google hits.--Matilda talk 04:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete both No evidence of notability, seems to be advertising. --Nick Dowling (talk) 08:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Both, both seem to be advertising for conventions that are not particularly notable. Some conventions like Gen Con definitely meet the bar, despite being niche events, but there is no indication that these ones are anything more than a couple of dozen enthusiasts playing games in a high school.
