Talk:New York Comic Con

message: ComicCon is the name of the event hosted by Comic-Con International each year in San Diego. New York Comic Con is the name of the event held in New York and which is owned and hosted by Reed Expositions. The two events are as affiliated as Ford Motor Company and General Motors. They both produce the similar products but do not have *any* business association with each other.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.129.80.129 (talk) 00:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed the following passage: 
:"Noted columnist Rich Johnston favorably compared the convention to San Diego Comic-Con."
...because in the source cited, Johnston does NOT favorably compare it to the SDCC.  He merely reports the upcoming NYCC, and mentions in tongue-in-cheek fashion how they're trying to disolodge SDCC as the center of geekdom.  That is not a "favorable comparison".  It also be noted that in the same piece, Johnston mentions how he'll be on a panel at the NYCC with C.B. Cebulski, Keith Giffen, and Colleen Doran, so even if it did make such a comparison, it wouldn't have been from the point of greatest objectivity. Nightscream (talk) 17:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Comparison to San Diego Comic-Con

message: I just read the article, and nowhere does it say what exactly "Comic Con" is. It refers to it as "a convention."  Even though it has the word "comic" in the title, it's my understanding that the convention doesn't just feature comics....but whatever it is, it should be defined in the first sentence or two at the very least.—DMCer™ 00:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article fails to define anything 

message: Since 2010 it looks as if the New York Anime Festival has merged with the New York Comic Con, thus I suggest we do the same on wikipedia as the New York Comic Con appears to be the bigger of the two. I do not suggest deleting the majority of the content (Aside from the infobox) rather merge the content from the New York Anime Festival article into it's own section in this article. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:07, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  It's one event now for all intents and purposes (even if it goes by two names), so having two articles will be redundant from NYCC/NYAF 2010 going forward. --PatrickD (talk) 01:10, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

text: Agreed -- After reading through both articles I think it would be better to have them both merged. Phoxtank (talk) 20:40, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Agree - New York Anime Festival is no longer an independent event. (Esw01407 (talk) 21:13, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  New York Anime Festival Merge 

message: Almost all professional for-profit conventions uses a turnstile method of counting attendance. This means that a person who buys a 3-day pass will be counted three times in the attendance figure. This does not compare equally to non-profit fan conventions such as Otakon which count only unique attendees. Since the real figures and precise counting methodologies are not publicly available, the solution is to change the wording. Instead of saying "X attendees" or "X visitors" say something like "reported attendance figure of X" which leaves the counting methodology ambiguous. 4.58.0.2 (talk) 20:33, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good idea, assuming we can find citation to support that there are varying methods of counting attendance.--Tenebrae (talk) 16:45, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Attendance gigures 

message: A gallery of faces of people who were guests of the convention is promotional and not specific to the topic. For an encyclopedia article, photos of the convention floor, photos of a typical panel and photos of the organizers would be relevant. This gallery contains faces that are not unique to the topic, and appears to be promotional in nature. Before taking it down, I'd like to solicit other editors' reasoning as to why this might not be so. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:45, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
