Almost all the sources are from the con itself, a con directory, or the university that hosts it. The only non-primary sources are trivial mentions, saying that Famous Person X will be at the con. I feel that even with the new sources, it still fails WP:SIGCOV. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:10, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

• Keep, but weak. While sourcing is not the greatest, I feel the ones listed are enough to warrant keeping the article. Esw01407 (talk) 00:29, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

• Keep as subject crosses the verifiability and notability thresholds with significant coverage from at least some reliable third-party sources. - Dravecky (talk) 20:55, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

• Isn't that WP:LOCAL? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:01, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
• If we were talking about just the city of Birmingham or a town I would agree with you but when you include an entire state combined with the third party sources I dont think WP:LOCAL would apply. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:17, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
• Also, WP:LOCAL is only an essay. It hasn't been accepted by the community as a policy or guideline. Altairisfar (talk) 03:08, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
• Delete A7 The article makes no actual claim to why it is significant, there is not a single interdependent, reliable source that covers the subject in detail used to support the article, nor can I find one. LGA _talk^edits 07:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
• Comment: There are independent, reliable sources that cover the subject in depth. Indeed, one is linked here, directly above your !vote, for clarity. - Dravecky (talk) 09:45, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
• From a blog ? LGA _talk^edits 10:58, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
• AL.com is the collective official site of The Huntsville Times, The Birmingham News, and the Mobile Press-Register, the three largest newspapers in the state of Alabama, all of which are owned by Advance Publications. That their web addresses tend to have "blog" in the url is a quirk of some long-ago IT setting up the site, not the nature of the publication. - Dravecky (talk) 08:07, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
• Keep per Dravecky and sources found by me, has the sources to pass WP:GNG. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:22, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
• Keep per Dravecky and Knowledgekid87. Altairisfar (talk) 06:24, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
• Keep - Has received significant coverage in reliable sources; specifically, one of Alabama's leading newspapers. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 10:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
• Keep per above. JJ98 (Talk) 04:27, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
