• Keep This has been going on for 12 years, there are also articles for science fiction conventions like OryCon with equivalent notability. Ruby 07:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but cleanup. --Nsevs 08:04, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Utterly absurd. DELETE. 84.64.81.143

• 162,000 Google hits means keep, obviously. Actually I suggest we speedy keep because this does appear to be a bad-faith nomination. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 08:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep per User:GeorgeStepanek. Not that Wikipedia wouldn't be improved if "No one in their right mind cares about this" were a criterion for deletion, butut it wouldn't apply to this article.Monicasdude 11:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and cleanup. JIP, could you please don't use vulgarities as you are being uncivil, especially you're an administrator. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 12:45, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Noted, thanks. Nomination edited. JIP | Talk 12:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Regardless if anyone in their "right mind" cares about it, it's been around long enough and has enough its that it's notable.--み使い Mitsukai 13:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep even if he does hate us Brits, poor misguided fellow. --kingboyk 03:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. There are some suspiciously similar comments to the nominator's statement here (a little more than halfway down the page.) They <may> be the source of this. Grandmasterka 08:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, it's AfDs like this one that make me feel editing ought to be a priviledge, not a right.--Agamemnon2 13:24, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
