NoirCon

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Does not meet WP:GNG, available coverage is limited to PR or interviews with one of its organizers. Said founder, Deen Kogan, may well be notable based on the coverage I came across, but I'm not seeing enough to establish the notability of NoirCon itself. signed,Rosguill talk 18:25, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Delete - Just learning my way around on Wikipedia (disclaimer) -- to me, the article speaks to "an event," a Recurring local event, in a specialty niche where a narrow group of people might find the subject notable. The article has "local support" in terms of a city newspaper and a recurring article in time to the convention. Agree that the article is PR and I cannot find much support.   Perhaps "the event" threshold would be used in assessing notability.  Also, I am finding consistent interest in blogs articles (which are not reliable sources) but they indicate to me that interest in the subject on the part of a few individuals exists.    I am glad I am not the decision maker here.. to keep or delete Flibbertigibbets (talk) 19:38, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. - Alvaldi (talk) 14:32, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Lacks Significant coverage as you mentioned - that seems to be the consensus; Noircon has a sustained presence - and has interest in a niche. Not Wikipedia quality sources - but there are blogs that speak to Noircon. (so for someone it is meaningful to have an entry).  I am feeling my way around which is good consensus can be reached (and I can learn)
