Draft:JAMMY CON

  • Comment: We read that JAMMY CON is organized by Kawaii Alley. So Kawaii Alley is not an independent source, and a high percentage of the referencing here is to sources that aren't independent of the subject. As for the other sources, the prose in "ToDoCanada" reads in its entirety JAMMY CON is a K-Pop-themed event hosted by Kawaii Alley at West Edmonton Mall’s Ice Palace. It’s a celebration of K-Pop culture, featuring live performances, exclusive merchandise, fan activities, and more! Where are the reliable sources that are independent of "Jammy Con" and describe or comment on it in depth?
    Incidentally, do people really pronounce it "jay eh em em why see oh en", or do they instead simply pronounce it "jammy con"? If the latter, ignore the capitalization and call it "Jammy Con". Hoary (talk) 00:02, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
