The result was delete. Notability is not temporary, true, but I don't see that notability has been established in the first place. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 18:04, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't found anything that suggests that this is a notable convention. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 21:32, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DucKon, when operating, did host the Golden Duck awards. However, it has lost a lot of its notoriety in the last few years, finally culminating in it's hiatus/shut down. There are rumours that it will resurface, however this author is unsure of the validity of those rumours. Finally, unlike WindyCon and Capricon, DucKon is not well known outside of the immediate Chicago fan communities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lady Nhytefall (talk • contribs) 01:16, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as notability is not temporary and neither "notoriety" nor "fame" is a requirement for the general notability guidelines. Even if the convention never returns, that will not alter its notability for Wikipedia's purposes. - Dravecky (talk) 08:57, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
