Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Internet
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Internet. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Internet|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Internet. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

According to the discussion on WP:DRV, allowed to renominate. The previous AFD reason was vague; all the votes were also vague, almost like someone is behind it according to the vandalism/advertisement/spam edits in the history of this article. I do not want to attack as I've made mistakes too. So I'll just state the facts. These links are broken/promotional: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Black-listed: [13] [14]. Press release: [15] [16] [17] [18] [19]. Wordpress: [20]. Plagiarism(same as wikipedia article): [21] [22].
Also, on WP:DRV, contributor who also participated in the previous AFD, suggested links that show up on Google after some promotional/spam sites. Addressing those links; Controversial information that's been removed (History of article), also points to more reason of deletion of the article. If it were reliable info, I would've edited it on the article. Controversial links: [23] [24] [25] [26]. Written with similar promotional content: [27] [28].
This shows, Geliyoo goes against WP:NOTE, WP:RS and WP:NOT. Due to WP:G11 as the article does not have independent sources and is almost advertisement even if the article has been on Wikipedia for a while. Nudgepath (talk) 18:09, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

- Keep I didn't really be specific in the first AfD because the nomination felt a bit more like a joke (inexperienced user who didn't give a proper reason to delete). I still think the sources I gave on DRV are enough to warrant notability. I'm going to add a controversy section (back? Didn't know it existed before) and trim the whole thing ("Founders" and "Projects launched" sections seem bs to me) to remove promotional content. ~StyyxTalk? ^-^ 20:06, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Article trimmed to remove obvious promotional sentences. I agree with the nominator when he says that the article was advertisement. I also added back the criticism section removed by an IP 4 years ago and expanded on it. ~StyyxTalk? ^-^ 11:17, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: Per WP:HEY. Article is good enough to pass WP:GNG, especially with reliable sources indicated by Styyx in the DRV. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 15:00, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

The result was speedy keep. The nomination is so erroneous (literally showing GNG) that it has not a snowball's chance in hell of passing, and could just as well be also speedily kept by WP:CSK no. 3 (non-admin closure) RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 23:42, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

I don’t understand why citations 7 through 11 are even being referenced or what their relevance to the subject of the article is as they mostly do not mention any keywords such as “skeptic,” “podcast,” or “Novella.” Novella is mentioned in passing a couple times but never in connection to the podcast. As far as I can tell the two Skeptical Inquirer articles are the only sources that aren’t self-published or from a blog, social media, or other unreliable source. However, these two articles are written by journalists (Rob Palmer and Susan Gerbic) who aren’t particularly well known from a magazine that isn’t particularly well known. It's also worth noting that these authors are part of "the Guerilla Skeptcism on Wikipedia team" according to the profile information at the bottom of both articles. These sources are also in interview format so almost all the information is directly coming from the hosts of the show as opposed to an independent or secondary source. I searched around for some sources that might indicate some level of notability, but the only sources I could find that had more than a trivial mention include book riot, The Hindu Buisness Line, Business Insider, and Thrillist. These sources only dedicate a short paragraph to the podcast and I’m unconvinced that the topic meets WP:GNG. The podcast won some People’s Choice Awards, which might qualify it for WP:WEBCRIT but the guideline says that an article “may be notable based on meeting one of the following criteria” not that it’s guaranteed. Also, the People’s Choice Award is arguably not a “well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization”. If someone would like to add the sources I found to the hosts’ articles that might be worth the time, but I don’t think anything from this article is salvageable so I’m not sure that would even count as a merge.If the podcast is determined to be notable enough for a stand alone article I still think the majority of the article needs to be rewritten and given the available sources wouldn’t be much more than a stub.

- Keep The Skeptical Inquirer has been in publication for over forty years, has an international distribution and is widely regarded as one of the foundational publications of modern skepticism. To describe it as "not particularly well known" as part of an AfD argument strains credulity. The further claim that those two cites are the only independent ones is just blatantly false: I count 12 independent sources cited in the references.
- The complaint about cites 7-11 above would have taken a single mouse click to verify: they're about one of the podcast's hosts, and are properly used to support content about that host. The claim that they don't contain the word "Novella" is categorically false. They're all about Steven Novella.
- The complaints here about the Podcast Awards are even more strange. We have an article about them which has survived an AfD and is well-sourced, yet they're somehow not notable? That's an oxymoron.
- The fact that even the nominator managed to find 4 references which aren't currently used in the article demonstrates rather clearly that there's no lack of sourcing (and thus, no lack of notability) here.
- Finally, I'd like to draw any other editor's attention to the last AfD and the result: Unanimous "Keep". Have the sources which supported it then since ceased to exist? No. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 20:01, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - This podcast handily passes WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Here are several secondary WP:RSes which cover the subject in moderate-to-heavy depth at a national level.[1][2][3] But here are also some local sources with even more significant coverage of the subject.[4][5] It's also featured often as a "top listen" in features about science podcasts.[6][7] Their book has been reviewed in national outlets.[8][9][10][11] As a news/entertainment organization, they also pass WP:AUD with a whopping 132 million+ downloads and 100,000+ weekly listeners.[12][3] So, in my interpretation of the relevant WP:PAG, it's an obvious keep.--Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 20:16, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Remarkably, it's on several current Top Ten Science Podcasts lists. - LuckyLouie (talk) 20:31, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per Shibboleth. "A magazine that isn’t particularly well known"? Pull the other one. --Guy Macon (talk) 20:34, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep When the AfD nomination lists multiple independent sources, one has to ask why we are even bothering with this. I mean literally one could vote "Keep per nom" without any trace of irony. This should be SNOW withdrawn by the nominator, followed by a light trouting. Hyperion35 (talk) 20:40, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you Hyperion35 for introducing me to the term trouting. This is precisely what I needed in my life this fine Thursday.--Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 21:10, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, it refers to WP:TROUT; the act of smacking someone in the face with a dead fish.
- Which, now that I think about it, is far worse than what's described in your link.
- And it gets better! You can also get whaled. Which is, of course, far better than getting whaled. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 21:15, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Wow yeah I would much rather get Urban Dictionary trouted than smacked in the face with a dead fish. The former is is a child's game, the latter is a recipe for giving somebody FACE GANGRENE.[13][14] /s --Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 21:20, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- I'm stealing FACE GANGRENE for the name of my new Grindcore band. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 21:42, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Article about a viral video, not properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for web content. The notability claim on offer here is that the video exists, "referenced" to its own presence on YouTube -- but simply existing isn't the notability test per se, providing circular verification of its existence by citing it to itself doesn't help, and otherwise this just linkfarms a long, contextless stack of glancing namechecks of its existence in newspaper or magazine articles that aren't about it, which does not help to build notability at all. We've all seen it, certainly, but that doesn't make it notable in the absence of any reliable source coverage about it to establish its significance. Bearcat (talk) 02:08, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

- Merge to I Will Survive#Other covers & popular culture as a flash-in-the-pan blasphemy about which one can't say much more than it happened, people were either enraged or amused, it got News of the Weird-style coverage, and then nobody cared until the next time it came up for deletion on WP. Well=known cover, yes, which is why I propose the merge, but I don't see how it's justified as a stand-alone article. Mangoe (talk) 03:01, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to I Will Survive#Other covers & popular culture per above. The AfDs from 2009 and 2010 seem to argue "cultural impact" and "lasting significance" but this viral video has been basically forgotten 11 years later [1]. Evaluation of the sources doesn't help its case either.

Overall the majority of the sources are passing mentions, and at best, just use the video as an example of the controversy around fair use law. That's not enough to justify a stand alone article. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 15:38, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Appears to fail WP:GNG; scanning the sources shows only a couple of articles from the same publisher that provides significant coverage.

The article notes: "On May 17, Shein — pronounced “she-in” — ended Amazon’s 152-day streak as the most downloaded shopping app in the U.S., a remarkable feat for any seven-year-old clothing brand, let alone one most Americans over 30 still haven’t heard of. The kids, though, are all over it. As with so many online phenomena, Gen Z and young millennial shoppers have propelled Shein’s rise, in thrall to the company’s never-ending, always-changing catalog of clothes at prices that stretch even the most meager allowance."

The article notes, "Overall, Shein (previously She Inside) is a complete mystery. No phone number, no email and certainly no press contact was to be found online. Even the name of its founder remains a total enigma, as El Mundo reports." The article further notes: "Besides the seemingly low quality and virgin oil-based textiles used - everything is made with polyester, nylon and other synthetic fabrics - the main question is, who is making Shein clothing and how much are they paid? ... The fact that the Chinese brand also copies independent designers is also allegedly public knowledge, Jezebel reports."

In May of this year, according to data from AppAnnie, the company reached the top of the app download charts for shopping on both Apple and Google’s stores, while it was valued at $15bn in its most recent known funding round in August 2020, according to data from PitchBook. ... Shein’s popularity stems from its use of data analytics to quickly turn emerging fashion trends into extremely cheap products, sometimes in just a matter of days — a feat that has drawn concern over labour standards, though the company insists it keeps a close watch on its suppliers."

- Keep I created this article for a number of reasons and believe the subject does meet WP:GNG. #1. Subject has been personally quoted by The New York Times, Politico, HuffPost, and Fox News. This means the journalists reached out to the subject to request a quote from him to include in their articles. This indicates the subject is reputable in the particular topics, often biotech and US politics. #2. 5 MSM media outlets indicate him as the CEO of YukoSocial, a "social media engine for US Politicians." If he works with US elected officials, it gives credibility to the notion of reputability. #3. He is verified on his social media platforms. This indicates the subject has passed the notability requirements of social media companies. Yes, the article may need clean up, but no it should not be deleted.

- @JalenPhotos2, The first source is re-echoing the subject of the article and fails to meet WP:INDEPTH and WP:SIGCOV isn’t met, the second and the third are laughable as both sources do not reference the subject of our discussion and he is merely mentioned in passing hence WP:SIGCOV is again not met. More concerning is, why have you yet not disclosed your COI with the subject of your article as required? Why wouldn’t you disclose your COI with the subject of the article or do you not know how to declare a COI? See WP:COI for assistance. I am logging a second warning on your TP. If I have to warn you again to disclose a COI I am reporting you to ANI, for WP:NOTHERE purposes where I’d ensure an indefinite block is evoked on you for violating our TOU.

You then demanded I add a paid tag to my profile, when this would be inaccurate. You are now claiming I have a COI and I wrote an article masquerading as an advertisement, and then threatened an indefinite block. This harassment is not okay!

JalenPhotos2 (talk) 23:12, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- @JalenPhotos2, no! you took the photo upclose and your excuse are negligible at best. Asides that why did you create a promotional article for s non notable individual? Do you trouble comprehending WP:GNG if yes, then submitting via AFC should be the best course of action since you aren’t experienced or are having troubles understanding how GNG works. Celestina007 (talk) 23:20, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Celestina007, It is not okay that you are making an allegation like that and then deciding it's the "truth", when it is not. It is not a promotional article, I tried my best to follow guidelines and believed the subject is notable. I still feel very strongly that he is notable and should be included in Wikipedia. Next time I will use AFC to avoid these toxic interactions/bullying. JalenPhotos2 (talk) 23:36, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

- Delete Looking through the sources, nearly all of them are only quoting him, which does not meet the "significant coverage" requirement of WP:GNG. While it is good on him that he is CEO of a political organization, that doesn't give notability under GNG unless reliable sources provide significant coverage regarding that. Being verified on social media also doesn't give notability under GNG, it just means you're popular enough on that particular social media site. Also I would like to note that source 10, the only source that has significant coverage, allows you to buy an interview and decide what's written which makes it non-independent and thus unusable in terms of notability. Jumpytoo Talk 00:03, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: Per JalenPhotos2. The sources in the article (except for IMDB) seem reliable, including the ones indicated by JalenPhotos2. Though the article needs a little clean-up, it's good enough to pass WP:GNG. As for the issue regarding WP:COI, the nominator's accusation against JalenPhotos2 is baseless. He has no relation to the subject at all. Working hard to look for sources for a certain subject does not mean he is related to the latter. Therefore, there is no conflict of interest involved whatsoever. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 10:00, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Comment — I agree with your assessment of WP:GNG. "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the entire source material. JalenPhotos2 (talk) 06:03, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:SIGCOV. The sources are reliable but not significant coverage of the subject. Mere quotes of the subject do not constitute in depth coverage. Further interviews lack the independence necessary to pass GNG. This is not even close to meeting our notability criteria.4meter4 (talk) 12:22, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Comment — @4meter4 I would tend to disagree. WP:SIGCOV in Heavy, whereas the subject is the topic of the entire article. Sig cov in Patch, whereas the subject is the topic of the entire article, Sig cov in Science Magazine, whereas the subject is not the entire topic but is significantly more than a trivial mention as per WP:SIGCOV Policy. Subject also has been personally quoted by The New York Times, Politico, HuffPost, and Fox News , satisfying WP:GNG Reliable, Sources, Presumed criteria. In regards to Presumed, these quoted pieces (which are more than a trivial mention) creates an assumption that a subject merits its own article because it is contradictory to 'what Wikipedia is not', particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Considering this would you reconsider or update your position? JalenPhotos2 (talk) 19:05, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- @4meter4 I would also implore you to examine two further sources from local news and Reuters News. Subjects comments are the reason both articles where created, with the former having the subject be the main topic of the entire source material. Again, Presumed criteria creates assumption that the subject merits its own article on Wikipedia. JalenPhotos2 (talk) 19:14, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

- As you can see, not a single source meets the criteria for WP:SIGCOV, WP:ANYBIO, or WP:JOURNALIST. Coudrey is essentially a political commentator on social media, and we would treat him much the same way we treat journalists. In these cases mere quotes are part of the routine job of a journalist /political commentator. We only consider journalists and political commentators notable when they themselves become the main subject of multiple sources in independent references. That hasn't happened here. This is a solid delete.4meter4 (talk) 21:01, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Comment — @4meter4 Very much appreciate your analysis and opinions in regards to interpretation of policy. Although, I would strongly disagree with your assertions based on a number of factors. For one, 'Coudrey is not a journalist or commentator'. He is the CEO of YukoSocial, a "social media engine for politicians" (According to The New York Times, Politico, Fox News). Two, based on what I mentioned above, the subject does not need to always be the main topic of the source material, so long as its more than a trivial mention. When the subjects work is the reason the article is written or he is being quoted by the journalist to be included in the piece, that is more than a "trivial" mention. Being that there are a significant amount of quoted materials from large news organizations based on the subjects profession in business, this creates an assumption that a subject merits its own article because it is contradictory to 'what Wikipedia is not', particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Thirdly, I think your analysis does not accurately factor in Presumed criteria as per WP:SIGCOV. I do appreciate the time you took to analyze and create the table, but I stress to others that it is still an opinion and individual interpretation of policy. Curious to hear others thoughts. JalenPhotos2 (talk) 22:48, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- JalenPhotos2, and yet you are arguing for his notability based on his quotes which are all political commentary and have nothing to do with his role as a CEO of YukoSocial. You can't have it both way. Further, several of the sources in the article call him a "twitter commentator" when quoting him. Also, I fail to see how WP:INDISCRIMINATE applies in this case. That's a policy for how we treat statistics, large collections of data, etc. However, to quote that policy "To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia." Ultimately, that applies here. These isolated quotes lack significant analysis, and by stringing them together in an article without any additional sources where the main subject is the primary subject, we are essentially building an article the is an WP:Original synthesis. That's why this article is a clear delete. 4meter4 (talk) 22:58, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep The sources in the article are reliable. I agree the quotes in significant outlets like The NY Times merit the subject have its own article.

- Delete per WP:RS. Almost all the sources are deprecated and partisan: Fox News, Newsweek (once an iconic weekly, now owned by a sect), local affiliates of media, the blog Heavy.com, Imdb and the like.

- Delete: This is quite the discussion and I somehow got roped into reading it. After reviewing this all though, I am of the opinion that he fails to meet notability guidelines. I generally agree with other people's reasonings on why this is to be deleted. It seems like he's trying to be notable and it's having some effect, but it does not cross the threshold of WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Lots of very many brief mentions count for something, but not very much on its own and isn't enough. --Tautomers(T C) 21:36, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Keep.

Dr.KBAHT (talk) 00:09, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Dr.KBAHT: Thanks for finding these links. Unfortunatelly, I don't think even one of them has "in-depth coverage" of FileScope. The second (Greek) and third (Russian) sources just list FileScope among many other programs, they do not have a single sentence fully dedicated to FileScope. I could not find download link for the first source, but abstract does not inspire confidene and even if this source was in-depth, it would not be sufficient basis to hinge notability on. Perhaps, there are more sources? Anton.bersh (talk) 22:02, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Anton.bersh: I agree about the Spanish and the Greek sources. They basically mention that the subject is one of several other P2P clients supporting Gnutella2. The Russian source is saying that it's one of the most popular Gnutella2 clients. From the GNG point of view the subject is not notable, of course. However, the WP:NSOFT policies allow to include the software which is notable in a specific field, not necessarily in the general scope. If Gnutella2 is a notable P2P technology, then the most popular clients for Gnutella2 should be notable as well, based on WP:NSOFT. That's why I voted to keep the article. If my interpretation of WP:NSOFT is wrong or Gnutella2 is not notable, then I will not insist. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 22:42, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Dr.KBAHT: Wikipedia articles need content useful to readers and supported by reliable sources. Right now, I don't see anything that could warrant more than two sentences about Filescope. As of now, FileScope article just creates confussion and does not convey much information. It has only one reference to
filescope.com
which is meant to support a vague claim that "the application is cross-platform but current builds only support running it under Microsoft Windows, but it is due to also run under Linux, Mac OS X, and other Unix-based platforms." So does it support only Windows or Linux/Mac OS/Unix? The Russian source just states (translated for convenience): "The most popular client programs for Gnutella2 are Shareaza, Kiwi, Alpha, Morpheus, Gnucleus, Adagio Pocket G2, FileScope, iMesh, MLDonkey." This content might be suitable for Gnutella2 article, but not really useful in FileScope. - If there is actual content which could be used in FileScope, I'd be glad to integrate it into FileScope myself if noone else wants to do it. If there is no supported content suitable for an article, logically, there can be no article. Anton.bersh (talk) 08:13, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

- Comment - We don't have any reliable sources in English for the software, so I think the prospects for getting an adequate-quality article under this name are slight. I'm inclined to redirect/merge, in view of the fact that the article is referred to by many other articles, may be of interest to people researching history of file sharing, and has scholarly documentation in other languages. However, none of the filesharing articles I've looked to are really adequate targets. If we had a list of P2P file sharing applications, that would be the most obvious; as a distant second best, we could target Gnutella2#Clients. — Charles Stewart (talk) 21:54, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Chalst: There are actually very few content articles with links to FileScope. Most of them actually use Template:Gnutella2, which includes FileScope. Therefore after FileScope deletion (if we decide to delete it) it would be trivial to remove all dead links to FileScope. Anton.bersh (talk) 08:59, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

There have been PROD and speedy attempts in the past, let's see what folks here at AfD make of this...
This chat site may be well-established and popular, but I cannot find any proper secondary RS coverage of it, so I'm moving for deletion on notability grounds — fails WP:GNG / WP:WEBSITE.
That said, TBH it does get some media attention, but it seems all to do with paedophile sting operations etc., and even then in local press only, so I don't know if any of that counts as sigcov. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:56, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

- Delete on notability (WP:GNG) grounds - no RS coverage beyond, as pointed out, local media paedophile sting stuff. It's not even the world's oldest chat room, so there's no excuse to name check it in the Chat room article, even. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:46, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep based on sources and presumed notability grounds- Chat Avenue is by far one of the oldest and most popular community chat websites on the web (even existing before Facebook, Omegle and Chatroulette). A considerable amount of media-related coverages have also been aired by leading publications such as the BBC and Reddit— with articles dating back to decades ago. There are also many new articles over the past couple decades that mention "Chat Avenue" by name without giving further information. Any individual searching for more information regarding Chat Avenue would discover it here. The deletion of this article would suggest deleting every page linked here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chat_websites in addition to thousands of other articles categorised specifically for chat sites. There have been multiple PROD and speedy deletions attempts in the past which were all rejected.

- 'Presumed notability'? 'One of the oldest chat websites'? These are not policy grounds. And deletion of this article has nothing to do with the others listed in the chat websites one. As for whether previous speedy or PROD attempts were successful has no bearing on this AfD. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:57, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- I have added recent secondary RS coverage. Chat Avenue IS mentioned by many publications (not just some local ones as you claim) and has a very long and extensive history at that. Many of the articles mention chat avenue by name only without much details. A wikipedia article would clear that up for those people and provide some usefulness to this already popular site. Previously speedy deletion and PROD attempts shows that this article has been reviewed before. Bringing this back up yet again would be redundant and questionable, IMO. --Reeebsss (talk) 18:53, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

The article does not meet WP:GNG. It appears that all the references are primary sources, and I'm unable to find any reliable secondary sources using Google News. The article was previously nominated for deletion in 2011 (here), but the discussion ended with no consensus. It could perhaps be merged with one of the hosts' articles, but the podcast is already mentioned in each article with the exception of Leo Laporte. I'm not sure there is much to merge into those articles anyway considering there aren't any useful sources. The podcast doesn't appear to be mentioned on TWiT.tv and might deserve a short mention.

- Keep - Major hosts like Leo Laporte, iJustine and Andy Ihnatko. As I JethroBT noted in the first AfD, this is a commonly referenced outlet in the tech journalism industry (zdnet, cnet, Wired, etc) [3][4][5] I'll also point out that the nom in the first AfD played shenanigans by actually !voting twice in their own AfD and were the only "delete" votes, drawing it to an inappropriate "no consensus" close. Oakshade (talk) 19:03, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Oakshade: None of the sources you've listed above actually discuss what Macbreak is or present any useful information about it. Most of these barely mention the podcast. For instance, this article only mentions the podcast in a list of other podcasts inside of parentheses as an afterthought of someone being interviewed. Most of these sources also mention Macbreak in relation to one of the hosts, which seems to indicate that the source is much more concerned with the hosts as subjects than the podcast itself. The CNET articles are all written by the same person who appears to have been on the podcast on at least four separate occasions and on those occasions wrote the one to two sentence articles that you've cited here, here, here, and here as well as an article where he only mentions macbreak because the podcast responded to him here. I would say that none of these CNET articles are "independent of the subject," but even if they are still considered independent I wouldn't consider a few one sentence articles grounds for a stand-alone article. Even the Wired articles lack any useful information and one of them (here) is not much longer than the CNET announcements. As far as I can tell these sources don't meet WP:GNG because they do not "address the topic directly and in detail" and there are no sources that have "more than a trivial mention" of the podcast itself. I would also like to note that it doesn't matter if the hosts are notable or not because the deletion discussion is on the subject of the podcast not the people. I also think that whether or not the previous deletion discussion was fair or not is irrelevant to the current discussion. TipsyElephant (talk) 01:20, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

- Comment I was recently introduced to the "notability fallacies" and I believe the previous arguments to keep the page fall under these fallacies. Saying that the hosts are notable is an argument that the podcast should WP:INHERIT notability. Referencing searches on various outlets is a mix of WP:GHITS or perhaps WP:LOTSOFSOURCES and WP:TRIVCOV. TipsyElephant (talk) 14:04, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- You've already made these arguments. Let other editors weigh in and see if you've built a consensus to delete this article.Oakshade (talk) 16:25, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: The article needs some clean-up by removing unnecessary parts and primary sources like Twit.tv. Other than that, it's good enough to pass WP:GNG with reliable sources indicated by Oakshade and in the previous AfD. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 15:00, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Superastig: would you mind linking to one or two of the sources you believe demonstrate notability? As far as I can tell the only source from the previous AfD that isn't a permanently dead link is this one, which dedicates less than a dozen words to the topic of MacBreak.

The article does not meet WP:GNG. I searched for quite a while on Google News and couldn't find any sources that were reliable secondary sources of information. The podcast appears to have been produced by TechCrunch and Steve Gillmor wrote articles for TechCrunch that have been republished by YahooNews under different domain names. After excluding any search results from TechCrunch and Yahoo news there are some very questionable sites that have published the podcast's newletter, which I believe would still be considered a primary source. Aside from that there are a few other mentions of the words "gillmor" and "gang" in some articles, but they refer to other things. TipsyElephant (talk) 17:20, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

There was a WP:PROD message put on the article, and I improved it on the same day with updated information and removed the template as was prescribed by the guidelines - "You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason." And yet here we are on the AfD. The podcast had its heyday and influence and was one of the first podcasts in this space when it started in May 2004, being a firm part of Internet history if you look at the guests and presence. You cannot (and should not) simply go by Google News or we are in big trouble all around. -- Fuzheado | Talk 10:39, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Fuzheado, can you please provide independent and reliable secondary sources that demonstrate the notability of this podcast? Right now the article's references are almost exclusively from sources with direct connections to the podcast itself so I don't believe they meet the requirements of being independent. Many of the sources are directly from the podcast and it's hosts which makes them primary sources. As far as I'm aware having notable guests on a podcast does not make the podcast notable. Similarly, it doesn't even matter if the hosts are notable. I was going by Google News because there aren't many print sources on podcasts, but based on a quick Google Books search there only appears to be trivial mentions in couple sources. I would be very suprised if there are any physical newspapers that mention the podcast but if someone has a newspapers.com membership they could check for you. Perhaps I opened a AfD process sooner than was appropriate, but I don't think demonstrating WP:GNG for this subject is possible TipsyElephant (talk) 19:52, 22 June 2021 (UTC

- Comment, since I already casted my vote and others are disagreeing. I don't see any problems with reviews. They provide significant, independent reliable coverage of the subject. They are published by TechRadar (who calls it "a major VPN brand"), ZDNet, Tom's Hardware and PCWorld who all meet the WP:RS requirements. Apart from the reviews, the subject is mentioned in works published by academic publishers like Springer Publishing and Association for Computing Machinery and the acquisition has been mentioned in the news. Based on these sources, the subject can have a standalone article per WP:GNG, and can also be extended. The article is written with WP:NPOV in mind, I don't think it is promotional or spam at all. Also, the article has been extended since being nominated. Above of that, the nominator has been accused here of improper nominations and not following WP:BEFORE. PhotographyEdits (talk) 19:51, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
