Anime conventions list crossouts
The reason they are currently commented out is because articles need to be written regarding those conventions. We have had a problem with convention articles being used as advertising rags for conventions; as a result, the articles end up losing AFD nominations and get deleted. Both myself and Farix have been trying to write the articles or contact con staffers who can write an article without turning it into an ad.

The other reason we have them out at the moment is because this has historically proven to be one of these rare times when red-links encourage people to add more articles there which do not meet the criteria for the page. Once that occurs, we end up fighting a battle to keep people from spamming up the list to turn it into a bulletin board for whatever one-day, remotely-anime-related thing they've got going on at their high school or whatever, which is not what the purpose of the list (or articles about anime cons, for that matter) is about.

I know it may seem unusual for a WP article, but believe me, I've been monitoring the page for quite some time and this is one of the pages that has seen a high potential of abuse. We're trying to keep it clean as possible, so that this page doesn't end up on the wrong side of an AFD - and there are a lot of WP editors who would like to see that happen with as many anime/manga-related articles as possible.

Hope this helps explain the rationale.--み使い Mitsukai 17:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Makes Sense
Yeah that's pretty clear. I actually am one of the staff at Oni-Con hence the un-commenting. I started writting a page but as things where getting quickly dropped I stopped. We had no idea until recently that the page was even there. I'll take some time and put together a decent article about what we do and offer and then uncomment the link.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
