Hi, I created the article because I thought it would be nice to have a wiki page for my convention to help raise awareness. There isn't any coverage, because last year we wanted to start small. We didn't have any media coverage and outside of Facebook and Google+, the only place for information is the website I created, sited in the article. I sincerely hope that you don't delete my article because there isn't any media coverage for it. I made the post to help spread awareness about my idea. I love wikipedia and this is my first contribution, I don't know all of the rules, but I was hoping making this very real event would be harmless, especially when I'm planning another event for next year.

Delete - Good luck with your convention. But, Wikipedia is not for promotion. If the con grows in the future and attracts the coverage in reliable sources to establish notability, then would be the time for an article to be created. -- Whpq (talk) 21:40, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. @Amvteknoboy: While a Wikipedia can help to raise awareness, that's not its purpose. It's kind of the other way around: Wikipedia covers articles in some proportion to a subject's existing significance. Get some coverage in local newspapers, noteworthy blogs/websites, etc. and you'll have an easier time. In the meantime you might want to copy the existing content to your user space (see WP:Userfication). --Rhododendrites (talk) 13:57, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
