List of -cons

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NOT of loosely associated topics. A pointless list based on the extremely trivial connection that all these events happen to have the letters "con" at the end of their names. Next week, List of company names that end in "com". Masaruemoto 01:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT and WP:NOT, as this list is quite indiscriminate.  J- stan  Talk Contribs 01:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, very indiscriminate list. Coming soon: "List of English words ending with -s". Realkyhick 02:32, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. listcruft. May also cause heartbreak if we find List of conventions, 309BC-Present. Mystache 03:11, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Essentially, this is a directory of conventions, which to me does not seem like a strong inclusion criteria Corpx 04:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a loosely-associated list. It is also a collection of internal links, another thing Wikipedia is not.  Useight 04:48, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per excellent reasons above. Jakew 11:09, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Deletecon As per abovecon. Plus there's sites around that allow you to generate a list of words ending is whatever letter you like... I just can't see this being usefulcon. Pursey 13:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per con...uhm, nom. I connot see anything contrary to your concise conmentary on the topicon. --Agamemnon2 12:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Conment If we keep going, this AfD will get convoluted. We shouldn't continue. I couldn't help myself.  Pursey  Talk 22:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I would have to concur. aaak. --Evb-wiki 22:24, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete A much better way would be to organize lists of conventions (AKA -cons) is based on their types and locations. --Farix (Talk) 14:14, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong delete per WP:NOT and above. Giant directory of links. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 02:20, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Comical list, total crap, spam ............ totally useless. RS1900 10:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete but could be useful to the Sci Fi project. Probably better just as a category of conventions, which already exists.  Some of the above comments are funny, but not helpful.  Bearian 22:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
