 * Delete: Non-notable future event. Joe Chill (talk) 21:27, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * At the moment, Google Oz searches for "EB Expo" only give the event page, plus gaming/tech reports and blogs saying "Hey, EB are throwing together an expo. Wonder how this will go?", and company press releases saying "EB are throwing an expo. We'll give it a go." On that basis, I think the article as its stands does not meet verifiability policy or the general notability guideline. There's a chance that this convention/trade show may become notable in the future. If it starts rolling, it'll be the closest Australia is going to get to an E3-type event (at least the pre-public-banning incarnation). However, if notability for EB expo is going to happen, the event needs to 1) happen, 2) be recognised by multiple reliable published sources independent of EB Games Australia...independent of the gaming industry would be even better and 3) become a recurring, annual, reported on event. In the meantime, I think the article should be deleted, or alternately, a reliably sourced paragraph or section be added to the EB Australia article, and this redirected there. -- saberwyn 02:05, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, at present, looks like a bog standard industry trade show. If, once it occurs, there is enough coverage and novelty to this event, then sure, an article is appropriate.  But not right now.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 08:36, 28 August 2011 (UTC).
