A&G Con

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not appear to be a notable convention. While it appears to have had a few notable guests over the years, with the likes of Spike Spencer, Steven Blum and Wendee Lee attending, 1. actual attendance appears to be rather low for an anime convention, with a low of only 300 attendees during the first con, and a high of 2000 attendees during the 2014 event, 2. the only source given is AnimeCons.com, which is not reliable, and 3. There is a lack of independent coverage for this con. I couldn't even find significant coverage from Anime News Network. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:31, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article creator's username implies a COI; nevertheless, as the article is not written in a promotional tone, and there is a credible claim to notability (it is apparently the biggest anime convention in the Tri-State Area), I doubt either A7 or G11 apply.

Comment - For what it's worth, IP user 67.149.211.187 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) added the convention to four different lists of convention articles, all of which have since been reverted. Of those, two appear to be plausible, List of anime conventions and List of gaming conventions; one is questionable, List of comic book conventions, as there seems to be little emphasis on comics in either the article or the linked website; one is doubtful, List of furry conventions, as I could not find any mention of furries or anthropomorphics in either place. Having said that, if reliable independent sources can be found covering the convention and the claimed attendance figures can be confirmed, it is probably worth keeping and re-adding to the two plausible lists of conventions. mwalimu59 (talk) 18:50, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article has already been deleted under old name A&G Ohio, first few search engine pages reveal no reliable sources. Esw01407 (talk) 19:22, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I did a quick lookup of media coverage and couldn't find anything. The onus is on the article creator to find it (if it exists) and add it as references to the article. If he can do that, my mind can be changed. I think attendance isn't very relevant, as I've seen very small conventions covered by the press.

Delete This is a re-creation of the deleted article A&G Ohio, not sure if this can qualify for speedy or not. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:36, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I found nothing in Google books (nor in newspapers, scholar, or news). In Google web I'm seeing a body of Internet chatter, but no attention from reliable sources. Unscintillating (talk) 04:09, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
