After attempts to cite references and local news links - non-signed in editors continue to feel "less is more" and continue to request citation and question notability. I personally do care one way or another - I simple saw a page about an event I was semi-fimilar with and tried to help --BRYankee (talk) 16:19, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Google News Archive appears to have plenty of independent RS coverage. Definitely needs to be added to the article, though. Jclemens (talk) 15:17, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Jclemens. Also, please note that the article history here indicates that sources have been deleted repeatedly by IP editors. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:41, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Eeek, that looks very fishy. I've restored the deleted material and semi-protected the article for a week. By all means, trim irrelevant material and add good sources, but not anonymously remove 2/3rds of the content without explanation immediately prior to AfD.

- Keep Not largest minor convention, and it may yet fail, but that's no reason to push it into deletion. htom (talk) 20:20, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as event meets both verifiability and notability thresholds through sustained coverage in reliable third-party sources. (Of which, for the record, I have added several more while expanding the article today.) Also, notability is not temporary so any future failure of this or any other notable convention is not a valid reason for deletion. - Dravecky (talk) 18:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
