This is an odd duck, or more precisely, a series of unrelated odd ducks: Conventions which were announced but which may or may not have actually been held. We also include some cons where we have good evidence they existed or were canceled, but no real detail.

This list does not include deliberate hoaxes!

More information on them would be appreciated!
