AnimeCon

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

A one time anime convention that doesn't appear to pass WP:CORP. An exhaustive Google search doesn't turn up any reliable sources and highly unlikely to be expanded beyond a short article. It's already mentioned in Anime Expo as a predecessor convention so there is nothing to merge. --Farix (Talk) 13:19, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete No indication that this is notable. Seraphimblade 13:30, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I wouldn't say that it is not notable—it is attributed as the first anime convention in the United States—but there aren't enough independent non-trivial articles from a reliable source to pass WP:CORP. All I've been able to find are just brief mentions. But anything that can be said about this con could covered in Anime Expo instead, so there is not real lose. --Farix (Talk) 14:18, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete One time non notable event. --Dacium 14:57, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The fact that it was run by people who now run the most notable anime convention in the United States isn't a claim to notability. No reliable sources. Leebo 86 15:14, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If that's all there is to be said about it, shove a sentence in Anime Expo and redirect there. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Anime Expo. Newyorkbrad 20:51, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment There is nothing to merge. What is in this article is already restated in Anime Expo. On top of that, there are three other conventions that call themselves Animecon. One in Finland, one in the Netherlands, and one in Louisville, Kentucky. And then there is the disambiguation page at Animecon. --Farix (Talk) 13:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. Good point. Okay, then, redirect to Animecon and add a sentence to the disambiguation there with a link to Anime Expo. Newyorkbrad 13:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- 9muses 20:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete ... This was not the first US anime convention. It was one of the first, but that alone doesn't make it notable. --PatrickD 14:40, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
