 * Delete - a fair few google hits, but no indication of reliable sources that support notability, fails WP:V. And not too many people turned up. Of course, if someone finds some reliable sources that support notability, then my vote will change. Moreschi Deletion! 21:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Nominator has only created the AFD for this article and for Animethon. --Dennisthe2 22:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Anime and manga-related deletions.   -- Farix (Talk) 22:50, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is the first and only anime convention in Quebec. A first year attendance of 1800 is fairly respectable.  Sure it needs more sources, but so do most anime con articles right now.  However, since the nominator has no Wiki history other than nominating this and another Canadian anime con for deletion, I believe this was nominated for deletion in bad faith and my guess would be it is someone associated with another Canadian anime con. Taking that into consideration, I cannot support this deletion in good conscience. --PatrickD 02:44, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Please, try and assume good faith here. There's no clear evidence to do the contrary. --Dennisthe2 06:48, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It does at least suggest that Nukilo may not be doing due diligence in checking out the actual notability of these conventions before nominating them, though. Bryan Derksen 06:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This is true, but not necessarily a pointer to bad faith. --Dennisthe2 23:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep With the recent addition of two new sources combined with the existing AnimeCons.com references, I feel that the article is more or less verifiable. And as Patrick said above, since it is Quebec's first and only anime convention and had an attendance of 1,800 during it's first year (a feat rarely duplicated), it has gained notability. --Farix (Talk) 04:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm going to go with a keep here, but in all reality, some more data should probably be found for the article. --Dennisthe2 06:48, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Farix's comments. :: Colin Keigher ( Talk ) 20:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete WP:RS people. Also 1800 is a small following. I've seen conventions with 10x that get successfully deleted. SakotGrimshine 21:42, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * What convention with 18,000 people got deleted?! --PatrickD 04:21, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, the largest and only anime convention in an entire province is definitely notable. Bryan Derksen 06:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
