List of anime conventions

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Article is being used as a SPAM mouthpiece for larger conventions and shutting out the inclusion of smaller conventions in the same state as the larger conventions. The requirements to be able to be listed in this article is haphazard, to say the least. List is semi-redundant to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Anime_conventions and a far more informative site on this subject already exists at animecons.com  Animesouth 08:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but hopefully make less America-centric. I don't see many problems with this list. J I P  | Talk 11:00, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep As a bad faith nomination. Nominator has a history of edit waring through and anonymous account to inserting his own convention, Anime South, onto the list, but was reverted because it doesn't meet criteria. Nominator has also failed to "broaden" the lists criteria to included all anime conventions so that his convention can be listed. But there is really nothing wrong with the list as is. Attendances figures are verified through AnimeCons.com or other sources on the main articles. The list is also annotated and sorted so that conventions in the area are grouped together instead of purely alphabetically. --Farix (Talk) 11:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. Reason for nomination is invalid. -Toptomcat 14:25, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep If it distresses anyone, they don't have to read it. The information seems encyclopedic and well documented. --TommyOliver 01:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete for different reasons (I find the nominator's reasoning invalid). See WP:NOT item #2 (Wikipedia is not a collection of internal links). Articles consisting almost entirely of a list are inappropriate, and better handled by Categories. There is already an "Anime conventions" category; that should be sufficient. -Amatulic 18:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename to List of major anime conventions. The article has criteria which exclude certain anime conventions (see its talk page) and as such this list is not congruent with the category. Other editors on the page seem to support the criteria (and in general I am in favor of filtered or prioritized lists of this kind). The reason for the nomination is controversy over the misleading title (which suggests an unfiltered list); correct the title and the problem goes away. Avt tor 15:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see any spam on this article. You have to draw a line somewhere for what needs to be included and the requirements seem perfectly valid to me. If this list is redundant then every list that is also a subcategory of Category:Conventions is, List of science fiction conventions, et al would all have to go as well. --Squilibob 00:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
