Not a notable fan convention. There is no reliable sourcing here that proves the event/organization is notable in its own right. I already removed a section that consisted an overview of past conventions, with a lot of namedropping. Google News provides nothing at all, except for a program note or two from the local paper, which convention tells us is not enough to establish notability. Drmies (talk) 15:48, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- The convention is notable for the following reasons:
- 1. It was the first science-fiction convention in Indianapolis, established in 1981
- 2. It has spanned four decades as a regular event, marking it of cultural significance to the city
- 3. It has been, since its beginning, run by a volunteer organization that includes charity work as part of its yearly programming
- 4. The convention has attracted notable authors and artists that are respected in the science-fiction and fan communities. No name-dropping intended, but these guests lead credence to the importance of the event to the community Mikhaine (talk) 16:14, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Additional consideration is that similar events/organizations maintain a wiki presence, which include past events and summarize programming. The following examples are both active and inactive conventions. Note also that the InConJunction page has been in use since 2005.

- Pointing at other articles is NEVER helpful--unless they are GAs or FAs. The things you say--well, if reliable secondary sources (not just the Indy Star) said it, we'd have something to go on. Drmies (talk) 17:10, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete and I agree with @Drmies. Looks like a promotional essay. I disagree with @Mikhaine. ~Rafael! (He, him) • talk • guestbook • projects 16:43, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
