[edit] Are you Game?

Are you Game? (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Brand new gaming convention just started this year. Dubious notability reads like a ad. All the sources consist of this game will be played at this convention which does not confer notability. Whispering 18:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: Hmmm, four major gaming companies that sponsor events at a convention don't give it some notability? I mean they aren't Bob's Games and Books, but include Wizards of the Coast and Upper Deck. And some of the events are various types of championships or will lead to championship events. And, no, despite the fact that I've edited the article, I'm not associated with the event, organizers, or game companies that will be there. Maybe the deletion could be held off as the convention is taking place this weekend (i.e. June 23-24). <shrug> I'm ceasing to care at this point however, but was attempting to give it some notability.

• Delete: Actually, neither you nor any other editor can confer notability on anything. The subject must do that all on its own. If this con's being covered in multiple reliable sources that would be one thing. Has it?  RGTraynor  20:43, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: I guess I should have said "demonstrate" instead of "give". (Sheesh) Well, considering the con is tomorrow and Sunday, it's likely it will soon be covered in multiple sources if not already. Craw-daddy 20:55, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
