Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) --Winebargerhr (talk) 03:53, 7 May 2017 (UTC) The importance and significance of this convention is paramount in the LGBTQ community. We are working to get news articles and other information regarding the convention up on this page as we can. ClexaCon's first event drew over 2,200 attendees from 42 international countries and 41 US states. We provided and hosted educational panels and events that change the narrative of LGBT rep in media, film, television, etc.
 * You miss a crucial point about Wikipedia and validate a suspicion I had. Wikipedia is not a promotional outlet. It is not our purpose "to get the word out" about anything. Dloh  cierekim  05:17, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

That was not my intention. I did not see starting an article as promotion, but as an educational tool to show people that this type of event exists. I am very new to using wikipedia and I apologize if something was done wrong. Promotion versus education is perhaps a fine line on here? Do you have any suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Winebargerhr (talk • contribs) 02:04, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
