Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daigacon (2nd nomination)
It appears that Daigacon has the appropriate independent sources to be considered notable; aside from the ones already cited, it's also listed in AnimeCons.com, which is known as a reliable source by several people here as per previous discussions.  I'm confused as to why this is almost immediately being discounted in the first 'delete' comments.  I admit that the lack of a cited source for its attendance number is hurting the article right now, but that can be fixed by either finding a source, or the con organizers reporting the number to an established reliable source.  Presuming it's correct, Bowling Green, KY is not large town.  By comparison, it's about the same size as Eau Claire, WI (the city were No Brand Con is held).  One notable item of No Brand Con's existence in its first year is its relative geographic isolation from major urban centers and other large cons, which made it an attractive alternative for those with limited access to transporation, limited funds to attend such a massive event, or parents who don't feel comfortable lettig highschoo-aged kids travel without their direct supervision, or to an urban area at all.  The existence of SugoiCon was mentioned, but its distance from Bowling Green is comparable to the distance from Eau Claire to Chicago (where Anime cons such as Anime Central are held).  The fact that there's a viable alternative to the "big con" in the same state that's more geographically convenient for anime fans I believe IS notable.  I also have interest in fan-run conventions, comparing them to ones run by corporate backers, even not-for-profits.  A con run by a school (or University) might not be notable in and of itself, but the fact that it was a three-day event with industry guests (as opposed to a day-long club event with  no industry guests), and that got this kind of news coverage should be.  The local news sources certainly thought it was notable enough, which seems to me to be all otability requires.  I'm worried that the critera for being added to List of anime conventions is somehow bleeding over as criteria for this article to exist at all
