Event seems to fail WP:EVENTCRIT and WP:GNG. Not seeing In-depth news coverage from independent sources. I also suspect COI or undisclosed paid editing here. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. No coverage in reliable sources. I doubt this is undisclosed paid editing, although I would imagine a conflict of interest at hand. There are a lot of these small gaming conventions that don't rise to the level of significant coverage. This one is particularly small; it's own web presence indicates that 2018 was its inaugural year. So, if we're being particularly generous, we can call this WP:TOOSOON. I've taken the liberty of removing it from List of gaming conventions in any case. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 22:50, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose/Keep: I must contest this suggestion for deletion. The article is more timely and more reliable than some of the items listed in the List of gaming conventions such as Gamers%27_Day.  That article, for example, has invalid links and is more "stubbier" than this article.  This suggestion for deletion seems arbitrary.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamaustin (talk • contribs) 18:28, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Note Please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The references added here are not reliable or do not show indepth coverage. Lots of them are just press releases telling people to buy tickets. The one indepth one is a wordpress article. By the way, the creator of the article has openly admitted to having a COI on the articles talk page and searching their name shows they have a connection. As well, if you were asked to add your opinion please see WP:CANVAS. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:36, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Note Thank you for those references.  If my comment is invalid and not constructive, please delete it. -adam 20:58, 10 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete since subject fails WP:EVENTCRITERIA. There are no sources supporting notability. -The Gnome (talk) 13:27, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
