Deleted by Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daigacon and re-created apparently on the basis that it happened. WP:ITSREAL is not an inclusion criterion. I don't see any evidence of actual notability, either - it's a convention, it happened, that's what conventions do. Guy (Help!) 19:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as NN. I've been concom on several small to large SF conventions in my day, and a large multiyear con is significant. A first year college anime gathering isn't. Come back ten years from now. RGTraynor 19:23, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I won't make a comment about if it should be kept or deleted since I've been involved in tagging the recreated articles since the last AfD. But I do protest the restoration of the old version of the article and then overwriting it with a new one. I've not known of a case where an old article was restored after going through AfD only to have a completely new article replace it in the next edit. --Farix (Talk) 21:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete They got some news coverage, which is something I'd like to see for more anime cons, but with just 200 people (and no reference cited for that), it doesn't appear as if there is anything all that notable about this convention for its first year. There are larger, more established anime conventions in the region, such as SugoiCon. In my experience, 200 is on the low side for convention attendance, although it's somewhat typical for a first year event of this type. --PatrickD 05:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I created this article and am the one currently trying to make it better. This article is not the worst one on wikipedia and has more content than many. I tried to model the the entry after the other convention articles. Many of which have close to the same number of attendees and have been around a few months more. List of anime conventions. I am sorry if I caused any issues by trying to help. Thank you. --silentsam84 14:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • From that list you cite: "The following is a list of articles of anime conventions from around the world that meet the following criteria: attendances of more than 2,000 people, have been in existence for at least 2 years and is at least actively planning its third year, and runs at least two days ..." If your convention qualifies, please let us know! RGTraynor 20:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Although this article may have more content and be better written than many other articles on Wikipedia, that isn't a valid reason to keep it. I could write an article with a complete and detailed history of my mousepad collection...but that doesn't mean it's notable. Likewise, I could write up the entire biography of my grandmother in a well-written article, but there would be no reason for such an article to exist. --PatrickD 20:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
