Page is unnecessary as each notable convention has it's own article and this has just become a list for unnotable conventions. Of the 11 listed as notable, only National UFO Conference (now defunk) is an actual notable UFO conference. Conspiracy Con is for conspiracies, MUFON has only a brief mention of symposium in the MUFON article. Giant Rock was a place where some UFO people gathered, not a convention. Roswell has a festival but even that is not a notable article. All the others currently mentioned are not notable. In popular culture section, is weak and some are only loosely associated with conventions. Two citations, one to Giant Rock and the other to MUFON. I think this article is only here to collect non-notable gatherings. Let each convention exist on it's own, and if we have enough that are notable, then have a UFO convention category. This is just unnecessary. Sgerbic (talk) 07:14, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete or listify. As an article this is a WP:OR mess, but maybe it could be renamed to a list of UFO conventions (keeping the list and removing the OR trivia about in popular culture)?

listify or if not delete. Preferably listify following above suggestion. Editing84 (talk) 09:32, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Listify to List of UFO conventions per WP:NLIST. The conventions red-linked currently without Wikipedia articles could just be due to no one yet having compiled the necessary quality news media sources, which are likely to increase in the present era. 5Q5|^✉ 13:19, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
