Not more notable than other JW conventions, and COPYVIO of printed convention programme Jeffro77 (talk) 03:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete They have this convention every year. This article is about this years convention. So really its same convention every year they just change the name. It could be merged into a general article about the convention if there was one. There is List of Jehovah's Witnesses conventions. -- Coasttocoast (talk) 03:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This is highly notable. Over 12 million people attend the convention.  Every religious convention has a different theme, on which the sermons are based around.  (talk)04:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Your right, but its a yearly convention. This article is about this years convention. The convention itself is notable, but there shouldn't be an article for every single year the convention takes place.-- Coasttocoast (talk) 23:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment, I would love to keep this article but I see just about no sources for it... gren グレン 10:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * For a comparison point, see Articles for deletion/Deliverance at Hand, the AFD for the 2006 conventions that closed earlier this week. We certainly could have an article on the convention if there was substantial coverage in independent and reliable sources.  At this time stamp, this article doesn't demonstrate the existence of such sources.  Independent means not from Jehovah's witnesses denominational publications, the speakers, or the venues.  Such sources may exist, but I'm not going to spend my time looking for them.  GRBerry 20:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable event. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep As stated before, this is a yearly convention, is a notable-event and different themes are discussed every year. I disagree with the comments of lack of or find "independent sources" for the articles. This article has provided the sources as tons of other articles on Wikipedia. The last comment user shows with in its last sentence that doesn't want to help at all in the maintenance of Wikipedia articles. I concord with the user that proposed a merger with article List of Jehovah's Witnesses conventions. RichiePR77 (talk) 17:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, this article has at the moment zero sources. Much less the independent sources that are required by our guidelines for which articles merit inclusion.  Write an article that at least looks like it is worth saving and I might be inclined to help, but this text is so far from being an encyclopedia article, and so far from my personal topical interests that I have no interest in doing the work on it.  With at least 7,000 poor quality Christian articles (see Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Christianity articles by quality statistics) out there there are far more articles that do clearly merit inclusion to work are on.  I see no evidence that this merits inclusion.  If you want it kept, you've been told what sort of evidence you should provide.  GRBerry 17:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
