Draft:Metro Comic Con

Metro Comic Con [1] - a convention based in Melbourne, Australia.

Submission declined on 2 March 2026 by Nil NZ (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the event meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for events. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the event in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
show lasting significance: analysis published after the initial breaking news has passed, showing historical impact;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the event, such as press releases, the event or organizers own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all four of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Comment: Significant coverage in independent, reliable sources is needed to show that this event meets our eligibility criteria; that means that whilst its own website can be used as a source for some instances, it doesn't count towards meeting the above criteria. nil^nz 02:42, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Running it's inaugural convention in 2023 and then again in 2024, at the Melbourne Showgrounds. 2025 which was due to run during September, cancelled due to clash of events at the Melbourne Showgrounds.

The convention will be held once again in 2026, this time moving to the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre.
