The result was   Delete. Just a local gaming group, the "reliable source" article makes it quite clear how local. The "700+" Google hits for the convention come down to just about 30 relevant hits - mostly forums and blogs - when English results only are requested (the phrase is common, and irrelevant, in Italian).

Gaming Association of Southwestern Pennsylvania

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable organization (120 members), with just one local newspaper article. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems like a member created this without knowing the notability guidelines. Tavix (talk) 02:12, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable and sourced. Colonel Warden (talk) 08:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Group runs large gaming convention with 8+ year history, subject covered in major newspaper, and with 700-ish secondary sources available to comb through (here ) a motivated editor can easily source this properly. - Dravecky (talk) 12:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: The number of members is not directly relevant to notability. Reliable sources establishing notability are. AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 16:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, coverage in the nearest newspaper isn't very convincing. Fee Fi Foe Fum (talk) 23:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, local gaming club, nothing to suggest broader notability. KleenupKrew (talk) 01:45, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. One newspaper article isn't enough to meet WP:N.  Everything in Dravecky's google search looks either trivial or not independent.  Percy Snoodle (talk) 15:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dravecky. The group organizes GASPcon, which appears a notable gaming convention, at least locally. --PeaceNT (talk) 05:28, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Percy Snoodle. Stifle (talk) 21:40, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
