Delete - Small hotel convention in the late 80s. I see nothing establishing notability. The only links in article are apparently to the websites for the hotels? Some of the appearances are notable but we don't need an article for every time George Takei checks into a hotel. I would not be too surprised if there are -some- print sources -somewhere- but I do not have access to them and they have not been proffered. Even with possible mentions in print sources, I think this fails NEVENT. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 15:22, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above - small SF convention that never took off. I would not oppose an merge to Farpoint Convention, its successor. Bearian (talk) 21:04, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Farpoint Convention since it already has a mention and would serve as a valid Alternative to Deletion. Unless Bearian knows more than what's currently in the article, I don't think there is anything to be merged since there are no sources. -2pou (talk) 21:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
