Keep An early science fiction convention that ran for 40 years and featured numerous highly notable authors. The article is not an orphan. I believe third party sources can be located. In my opinion notability is low but not absent. Ike9898 (talk) 15:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This was an annual literary convention focused on science fiction that started in 1976, lasted for 40 years and featured the genre's most significant contributors, including Robert A. Heinlein, Poul Anderson, Roger Zelazny, Gordon R. Dickson, Larry Niven, Theodore Sturgeon, Ben Bova, etc. A quick seaarch turned up the following SIGCOV: this, this, and this. As the event ceased operations eight years ago, I do not agree with the assertion that the article is an "advertisement" for the event. Cbl62 (talk) 07:16, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep. As far as conventions go 600 people is small fry (I tried to find visitor counts online but came up empty, I think this would help the case a lot) but forty years is something. Stumbled upon photos here. With the names that visited the convention I think it's inching closer and closer towards surviving. --Ouro (blah blah) 12:01, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
