- Weak keep The Fort Worth newspaper cited already in the article seems a RS, and this from a Dallas newspaper [1]. Oaktree b (talk) 14:55, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- Although the Dallas Observer says they may earn a commission if you click on a link bla bla, maybe not the best sourcing. Still a !weak keep I think. Oaktree b (talk) 14:57, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- I've added the Fort Worth Star-Telegram clippings for verification. Timur9008 (talk) 21:53, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

- Weak keep: Just added 2 more sources,and just removed one facebook linkLeomk0403 (Don't shout here, Shout here!) 00:48, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Dallas Observer source cited here is not a significant coverage ("Another big pop culture convention is the Arlington-based Retropalooza, celebrating all things retro in the worlds of toys, music and video games. The two-day event also encourages cosplay and includes guest panelists."). Fort Worth Star-Telegram's source [2] is somewhat better, but sadly turns the focus off of Retropalooza to MetalJesusRocks after one paragraph. I was unable to find more in my searches, fails WP:GNG.

- Delete per Jovanmilic97. This is mostly sourced to FaceBook, without proper sources to qualify as significant coverage. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:08, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

- Delete I can find one instance of WP:SIGCOV but it lacks sufficient coverage to be notable besides that. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:46, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
