Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Internet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by AnomieBOT (talk | contribs) at 09:53, 14 May 2025 (Archiving closed XfDs (errors?): Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Infinity learn). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Was tagged as a G5 but I was unable to convince myself that G5 applies. I'll let the prior declined speedies and PRODs in the history speak for themselves:

WP:PROMOTION created by a cross-wiki spam. Their draft was declined, and yet they created the article. They also created this article in several other (mostly small) WPs.


YouTube content creator with limited visibility! A paid promotion linked to an entry on Wikipedia in another language, also created by the same user, raises doubts about the nature of this content, possibly suggesting it's an advertisement. I believe that the page dedicated to a Brazilian actor and YouTuber does not meet notability standards due to a lack of appropriate sources. Of the 7 cited sources, IMDb is generally considered unreliable, and the mentioned films on the page are not widely recognized, making the article questionable in terms of relevance..

Already deleted as Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Biel_TVZ and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Biel_TVZ_(2nd_nomination). Augustresende (talk) 13:17, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - cross-wiki spam. Subject appears notable looking at the Brazilian press links but in one of the few cases where I advocate “Ignore all rules”, we should delete this and block the user if not already blocked. Also, the specific IMDb and YouTube links should be blacklisted, preferably on Meta since this is a cross-wiki problem. There’s a potential for collateral damage from getting the Regex wrong so the blacklisting should be done by a blacklist-savvy admin. I’ll note that spamming small wikis is a particular problem since they have limited defenses. (I’m a former Meta admin with previous spam cleanup experience - that’s why I have an edit history on 180+ WMF projects). The article should be salted, too. —A. B.

Two episode lists for YouTube cooking shows, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NWEB. We don't even have articles about the series, just one about the overall YouTube channel that they're distributed on -- and each of these is referenced to a single news article each to verify that the shows exist, while otherwise referencing the actual content of the lists (i.e. the episode titles, airdates and YouTube view counts) to their own primary source presences on YouTube or the host's own self-published website rather than reliable third-party sourcing.
So if the shows could be properly verified as having enough reliable source coverage to earn their own standalone articles as separate topics from the overall channel, then we could include the episode lists in the show articles -- but we don't need standalone episode lists if the shows don't even have articles at all, and we'd need to see a lot more than just one reliable source each to justify articles about the shows.

I don’t think this topic/concept requires an individual page to elaborate. Potential WP:OR as well. ~ BlueTurtles | talk 10:05, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Content views, their analysis, and related metrics, markets, meaning, and/or social or capital value are all subjects of measurable and enduring effect in today’s society. The article is nascent, but research of its topic will be published in sociology, media and economics journals. James Bateaux (talk) 12:16, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Social media measurement for now. Could have its own article in the future once it’s more widely covered in sources ApexParagon (talk) 16:12, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Social media measurement (previously, Weak Keep) - The current article is very poor, but this is a topic that has certainly generated a lot of academic and industry chatter over the years. I'm not totally sure it makes sense to have a separate article for this topic, and I don't think Social media measurement is a great redirect target. Trivially, academics have investigated views as a metric of interest, especially as a proxy for popularity.[1] Zhou et al. 2010 has 500+ citations, and I see a bunch of references via Google Scholar that discuss YouTube or other social media views directly. I have no citations, but I've seen and read other work discussing and using views as a metric in work on other social media platforms. Another context I'm familiar with that explicitly studies and discusses views is in relevance feedback for recommender systems. Views are discussed independent of social media specifically,[2] but also as one metric among many used in the development of recommender systems.[3] I would be absolutely astonished if minimal searching in STS, comms, and media studies journals doesn't uncover theorizing about views as an aspect of social media popularity, relevance, marketing, etc. Suriname0 (talk) 17:23, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Here's another example of how social media research talks about views: Participants in our study frequently referred to interaction metrics like time viewing a video before they swiped or watching the same video repeatedly as key information that companies collect on them. .... According to Google’s Privacy Policy, they collect information about views and interactions with ads, for example, whether the user mouses over the ad or interacts with other parts of the web page. One hypothesis for why youth are attuned to captivation metrics is because of the surge in popular apps that are built for rapid feedback and meta-awareness of behavior. For example, the microinteractions in TikTok. Users swipe in TikTok to make a decision about whether the video attracts them, with the default of view time being a positive signal. Furthermore, features like Apple’s ScreenTime make users’ time spent on apps salient.[4] I note that views is not really the primary topic here, and in general I think this content would be more appropriate on a page focused on broader conceptions of engagement with social media. For that reason, I've tweaked my vote to a redirect. Suriname0 (talk) 17:36, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is nothing more than a list of citations to Requests for Comments. This is inappropriate since Wikipedia is not a directory or a catalog * Pppery * it has begun... 00:39, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with User:Pppery that this article is sort of a list, but disagree that this is inappropriate. The table that constitues the bulk of the article gives context and explanation, refuting the argument on directories and catalogs. Instead, it describes a notable subject: the fact that there exist plethora of RTP payloads. It serves as a stepping stone for further investigation and research for those with further interest.
I also disagree with User:MarioGom that a redirect should suffice and with User:Wcquidditch that the existence is sufficiently described in the main article. The referenced section only briefly summarises the large number of different formats.— DandoriD (talk) 06:51, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My only comment here (until now) has purely been deletion sorting; I have (and had) no opinion on the article. It is Anonrfjwhuikdzz that says that material at the main article — which I will note is Real-time Transport Protocol — is sufficient. WCQuidditch 10:43, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would be find with a redirect instead of deletion. I'm not convinced and exhaustive list is appropriate for wikipedia as we're not supposed to be a directory/catalog --- that's a job for the RFC series. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 23:00, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The RFC Editor only lists all RFCs and makes them available. It is not a function of the RFC Editor to present overviews per subject of any kind. The overview presented in RTP payload formats, compiled by many editors, stands on its own and has become a de facto source on the subject. This is reflected in the number of visitors of the page. Deletion would be a disservice to the public, IMHO; a rename better reflects the nature of the article.— DandoriD (talk) 07:04, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment MarioGom and Ramos1990 have suggested redirecting which I assume means they don't believe we should have a stand-alone article/list on this topic. Without providing a reason for this preference, I assume/hope whoever closes this discussion will not give these opinions much weight. ~Kvng (talk) 22:39, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Explained more on my reasoning. Ramos1990 (talk) 23:25, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm not convinced this article is not acting as a directory for RFC articles/RTP payloads. Yes there is some discussion of these formats as a group which would qualify this for NLIST, but the arguments in favor of deletion/redirection have centered around what WP:ISNOT.
Outside of the opening summary there is not much providing context for the protocols. I don't understand the reasoning from @Dandorid that the table provides context or explanation to these protocols. These are just very basic summaries of the protocol specifications from my reading, but where is the context about development and uses that makes these entries something more than WP:NOTPLOT? Similar summary information seems to be available through IANA, so why not just link to their website in the main RTP protocol article for people with further interest? The only parts of the table that provided additional context were certain descriptions detailing changes in payload type/the reasons for reserved blocks but those specific instances could easily be added to the prose at Real-time Transport Protocol#Profiles and payload formats.
This illustrates my point. Similar summary information seems to be available through IANA would be great to have, but I doubt it actually exists, Ramos1990. I believe this article summarises the wealth of options, in a way that a picture tells more than a thousand words. If you would summarise this page somewhere in a section of Real-time transport protocol you would need more than a thousand words to do the summary right.— DandoriD (talk) 07:37, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • So Keep or Rename. There is a dynamic that some fail to see here: Wikipedia is a primary source of information to many people. A sort of low information entropy: a concentration, a density, brought together by people that felt a certain need to do so. Destroying a page like this increases information entropy, which leaves you with a greater burden of finding the information (which undoubtedly exists in many places) yourself, and you only get it in bits and pieces. Most likely, somebody will recreate this page somewhere in the future, for the same reasons User:Sergeymasushko had when creating RTP payload formats. — DandoriD (talk) 07:37, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This is an utterly meaningless argument - by this logic one should never delete anything. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:02, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, that is the main idea of WP:Inclusionism on Wikipedia, and I support inclusionism. After all, WP:Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, and we already have Britannica, which is generally more reliable than Wikipedia (see WP:CW), and only chooses the most notable topics. I think the advantage of Wikipedia is that it covers more niche topics compared to a traditional encyclopedia such as Britannica, which is why I'm an inclusionist. I usually read Britannica to get a broad overview of more popular topics, and I use Wikipedia for more niche topics like computing (this article) and railways. Félix An (talk) 09:20, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If none of my arguments make any sense whatsoever (I guess that is what you mean by utterly meaningless) then, by your logic, you should delete all articles and do away with Wikipedia altogether. — DandoriD (talk) 07:00, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sandstein: What's the justification for relisting this a second time? We're rehashing standard inclusionist/deletionist arguments and I'm sure you're aware we won't reach consensus on that here and continuing to discuss it does not foster goodwill between editors. There are no delete votes and it is pretty clear to me that the article meets WP:NLIST. The proposed merge or redirect suggestions can be worked on outside AfD. ~Kvng (talk) 23:26, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is that we don't yet have consensus among the editors who are advancing policy-based arguments. The closer would need to discount the last two "keep" opinions. This means there is still no agreement as to keep or redirect. Sandstein 06:54, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think subject passes WP:NPROF - he is asst. prof, h-index of 12 and no named chair or prestigious professional memberships I can locate. Although he is briefly quoted in a few news articles due to his association with digital rights group Article 19, I don't see anything that would qualify as WP:SIGCOV for WP:ANYBIO. He co-authored a book w/ over a dozen other people but I can only find one possibly independent review in a reliable source. WP:BEFORE was done in google news/books/scholar, JSTOR, newspapers.com, and PressReader (looking for Dutch and English sources). I don't see a clear merge/redirect target, and ultimately I think this might be WP:TOOSOON - as subject is still in relatively early days of his career (first publication was in 2017).

    • Reply from nom - my rationale was that in most of the coverage linked above he is just quoted (i.e. if you ctrl+f his (first/sur)name you find basically 1-2 results). As it doesn't really go in-depth about him specifically, I didn't consider it sigcov. It's very impressive to have your work mentioned in prestigious publications so early in career, I'm just not sure it confers notability. Zzz plant (talk) 23:02, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Topic seemingly fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. Currently, the independent coverage consists of: 1. a tabloid article, 2. an article that relies on the previous article, and 3. an article that cites the subject's fandom page as its source. I did my own search and was unable to find any significant coverage outside of tabloid articles concerning the subject's death. – AllCatsAreGrey (talk) 15:53, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@2skate Popularity ≠ notability. Notability is coverage in reliable secondary sources, not how many “plays” something has.

I agree that this course of action given the lack of legitimate sources regarding his death and his barely notable fame. However, one could also easily argue that discarding the page entirely could turn out to be a temporary outcome, he could very well "chart" or garner a rather significant and notable cult following post-mortem in the near future, post-deletion.

BLP mess. At this stage it is impossible for this article to not be a BLP mess. Fails the recommended criteria for events at WP:EVENTCRIT, and at this stage it is WP:TOOSOON to have secondary sourcing. Not notable and as mentioned it is not possible to have this article without it being a BLP disaster. Sources are largely poor. PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:55, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Soft keep. I think we're actually doing a pretty good job with BLP in the current version of the article. There's nothing in there that isn't directly, materially provable from cited sources. I'm !voting soft keep because it's fairly early to call this notable, even though it has gotten a decent breath of coverage across geographies and has already started to recieve commentary (some of which is noted in the article). It would be much easier to determine whether it passes WP:EVENTCRIT a year from now though, which is why I fall on soft keep. I'd also push back on the claim that the "sources are largely poor", I threw together a SAT and I'm happy with the quality of the sources (I also noted in the location/scope of the cited newspaper to test breadth of coverage).

wasianpower, are these all original reporting? If so, that would make them primary sources. I'd expect to see this situation used as a WP:CASESTUDY for internet racism controversies more broadly if it were notable. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 01:37, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The best article written so far about this incident is, IMO, this article by The Independent: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/shiloh-hendrix-slur-karmelo-anthony-stabbing-maga-b2745949.html Some1 (talk) 01:44, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point, some of them are original reporting, but definitely not all of them (the second independent source for example is firmly secondary, while the local/affiliate sources are the most primary). There are a few "case studies" per se (see the Daily Wire example and examples in the independent), but we're definitely still in the initial round of coverage. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 01:46, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Some additional sources which could potentially be helpful to establish notability: [13], [14], [15]. I've added them to the SAT and struck and struck primary sources. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 01:54, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Here's another good article by ABC News: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/woman-called-black-child-slur-raised-backlash-thousands-121576616 Some1 (talk) 03:19, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would call this incident and the resulting fundraiser notable--using the dictionary definition, not Wikipedia's. We've seen thousands, even millions, raised for those accused of murder, but have we ever seen nearly a million dollars raised for a woman who used the N-word against a (reportedly) 5-year old Black autistic child? Some1 (talk) 02:20, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as you said, not Wikipedia's definition of notable. Plenty of odd things happen. We do not write articles for them unless they pass our guidelines. This does not pass WP:NEVENT. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:23, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The second sentence of WP:NEVENT says The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded", so I guess it's similar in a way to the dictionary definition?
It's too early to tell if the incident will have WP:LASTING effects, but WP:LASTING also says "It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable." (emphasis mine) One conservative commentator (Matt Walsh, writing for the Daily Wire) said: "How The Shiloh Hendrix Case Killed Cancel Culture" "This is the most devastating attack on cancel culture that we have seen, possibly ever." I don't doubt that people, on either side of the political spectrum, will reference the Shiloh Hendrix case months or even years from now as part of their societal or political commentary. Some sources in wasianpower's table, such as the Independent[16], Daily Wire[17] and New Republic[18], are already analyzing this incident in a way that meets WP:CASESTUDY (though again, this is the initial coverage period).
On the other hand... I do think RSes are taking the person who filmed the incident at face value and are treating his claims as facts. Apparently the Rochester Police Department is sending the results of their investigation into the incident to the city attorney's office for review and potential charges... So the Wikipedia article might be harmful to the woman if some things turned out to be inaccurate. So maybe erring on the safe side and deleting the article might be the better approach? Hard to tell. Some1 (talk) 03:29, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, of course, I do not argue for deleting every single new article just because it's new, but there are obviously ones we should and should not make, there are indications. It's not like we can't delete recent articles on events that will obviously not be notable. It's a guessing name to see if this is notable and this is a fairly small scale internet controversy so it is extremely doubtful it will. Sure, I'm guessing that, but by guessing it will that's just the same. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:33, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
fairly small scale internet controversy That's what I thought this whole thing was when I first read about it this past Sunday, until I saw more RSes reporting on it this week and people debating about it on places such the Piers Morgan show. The article has received 10,222 page views in two days, which is not an insignificant amount. Apparently it's more than what the Elon Musk salute controversy article received when it was created. Some1 (talk) 04:01, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd think it was a bigger deal if there was better sourcing than one tolerable piece from the independent. Everything else is local or bad. Well, I don't think that views are a proper comparison there, since I bet most people just went to check the main Musk article. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:12, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say the New Republic piece is also a high-quality source, and the ADL piece is a good analysis. The National Review is not my favorite source, but its piece also decent from the perspective of a case study. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 14:11, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would not call the ADL piece "good analysis". The New Republic piece is seemingly an opinion piece. I don't even think we can use the National Review as a source (if we can, I did not get the memo, because it would have been very helpful in the past if I could have used that on some articles...) PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:33, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:NATIONALREVIEW it's a partisan source which should be attributed but can be used. I also disagree that the TNR piece is an opinion piece; it's tagged as "media criticism" by its RS rather than "opinion", it's an essay using the Hendrix case as a case study in racism in the American political system. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 18:00, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

RE the last point, I think it's fairly unlikely that the police investigation results in any charges, but only time will tell. Either way though, I think we're pretty good from a BLP perspective in terms of not reporting anything that can't be verified by watching the video. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Even if it's not a crime, this is an article heavily about a non-public figure BLP and one event. Crime is not the end all be all of BLP issues. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:34, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Shiloh Hendrix publicly identified herself as the woman in the video, she chose to become a public figure and identify herself with the contents of the video. The only person NPF applies to in the article is Sharmake Omar, and we are being careful in our coverage of him. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 18:06, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I'm not sure that the video is the specific topic here. I think there are three parts: the incident, the video including reactions to it and the fundraiser. That said, there does seem to be a topic here. The fact that it has had RS coverage outside of the USA proves that this is not just some minor, non-notable or artificial controversy even if it is not (yet?) a truly major one. I don't see the BLP concerns. The woman chose to identify herself and we are not digging into the backgrounds of either of the named people in the article. If there were valid BLP concerns then they seem to be resolved now. The coverage looks reasonably sustained, so far, but it's too early to call it. If the coverage continues then that will push it firmly into "keep" territory. Given the various questions of whether to charge over the incident itself and over the fundraiser, I think this is more likely than not. I expect a lot of awful "think pieces" about whether it is OK to say the N word now/yet. Ugh... --DanielRigal (talk) 12:11, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, given that this incident is getting continued coverage in the local media. As far as BLP issues go, I agree with Daniel's point above -- the woman chose to identify herself and continues to stand by her fundraiser. Ugh. I don't like the idea that Minnesota is becoming known for this. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 04:29, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as major author of the article: Source analysis has not been properly conducted. The comment that Bustle is "weak" is not substantiated by why this would be so. The article is equivalent of around 16 Column inches devoted to this subject alone. There was not any attempt to address dictionary.com which is a solid source, used in hundreds of articles. Even the nom seems to admit that source #6, at Jane Austen Society of North America, is a full article about this subject, and the presence of "emoji" in the article title tells us that it is not about the fruit, but the symbol. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:07, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Dictionary as a source is not a secondary and would not count to notability. Ref #6 is mixed since it also talked about the pineapple itself, not only the emoji. Bustle is weak when you check that source since the article is mentioning all the fruits, not only pineapple emoji (You really thought because of the headline title). When I checked the body of the article, it only says about pineapple emoji is "especially when you can post a bunch of pineapple emojis to your Snapchat story to get people scratching their heads instead." Yeah, Bustle and ref#6 is not enough, thus failing WP:GNG. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 19:36, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. There's wide academic coverage of the Pineapple emoji use in Jane Austen adaptations [21][22][23][24][25][26]. There's brief coverage about its use as a synonym for weed. I would also support a merge to a section Pineapple#Symbolism if someone was up to write it. --MarioGom (talk) 11:49, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I found something else it is notable for and put it on the page. Specifically, that it is a symbol used by swingers to indicate to other swingers that they are open to that activity. Additionally, there are sources that bolster this use like Cosmopolitan[1] and The Telegraph.[2] Therefore, I think at this point it meets WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG and warrants inclusion. I am sure there are other sources that support the swinger notion, I just did a quick look. Apparently that is its most popular usage. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 14:08, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. I think it's close. I agree that source 5 is the best source, and it's an article largely focused on the subject that was published in one of Australia's newspapers of record. But source 4 is also independent, significant coverage in a very reputable newspaper. I think you could easily make the case that those two sources are sufficient to meet WP:GNG. But both are very similar routine staffing announcements (one says she is joining ABC Radio Canberra, the other says she is now leaving), and feature a very high volume of quotes. I could be persuaded otherwise, but I don't think I really see the necessary depth in those two sources to demonstrate notability. MCE89 (talk) 15:13, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t think this page should be deleted. The creator’s Deviant Art Account has information about the site, under the username “mree”. There is little record of Fuzz Academy beyond their art uploads and commentary about the game in their posts. One day there may be even less record of it’s existence, save for a little stubby Wikipedia article - but at least it won’t become entirely lost media. Some of us still hold these forgotten, defunct games in our hearts, and to lose record of their existence is a saddening thought. 173.184.50.33 (talk) 22:04, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You should copy this article, with attribution, to an appropriate wiki related to video games or internet culture or something like that. You can also just save it and republish it (with attribution) on a blog, or as a Reddit post, or something. But to be included on Wikipedia, reliable sources need to demonstrate a topic’s notability, and Fuzz Academy does not meet this standard. Zanahary 06:02, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Lets look at the references:

  • Ref 2 [28] Secondary source.
  • Ref 3 [29] Not about him. Its a passing mention.
  • Ref 4 [30] CV. Not independent.
  • Ref 5 Non-rs
  • Ref 6 [31] That is a spam and will need to be removed.
  • Ref 7 [32] Another passing mention.
  • Ref 8 [33] Passing mention.
  • Ref 9 [34] Passing mention.
  • Ref 10 [35] Not independent.
  • Ref 11 404
  • Ref 12 [36] The docket. Non-rs
  • Ref 13 [37] Not independent.
  • Ref 14 [38] A short quote from him. Not independent.

The first two blocks of references, 2 non-rs, 5 not-independent, 4 passing mentions, a 404, a spam link and 1 secondary source that reads like a puff piece. This is a WP:BLP.

Why isn't the Justia RS? It is a primary source and I saw nothing on RSP about Justia being unreliable. Many of the sources corroborating this person's existence are court dockets. And what is wrong with Washingtonian being a secondary source? "Levy, an attorney with the Public Citizen Litigation Group who has represented union dissidents" in the Michigan Law Review articles on JSTOR, "Paul Alan Levy , an attor ney with the Public Citizen Litigation Group in Washington, D.C." on the ABA Journal, his book was cited by the NLRB... Andre🚐 06:10, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Court dockets don't prove notability. They are records of mandatory attendance and that all you can say about them. They don't confer notability and notability is not inhereted off them. There is nothing wrong with the Washingtonian source as a secondary ref. But it needs more than source to prove a person is notable. This is a WP:BLP. Not a article about some song. WP:THREE is standard here per established consensus (summer before last). 3 secondary sources will do it. scope_creepTalk 08:27, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
His own work doesn't towards notability unless its been reviewed and published by external reviewers (not social media). So far I've not seen any evidence to contrary that any of his work is notable. scope_creepTalk 08:30, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, there's enough collectively to make the Keep grade. Looking in Google Newspapers archive the other day, there's some good usable stuff too. I can see that there was a good past attempt to make a decent article here, but it's set up wrong and some parts need to be re-written. That being said, I believe this has the making of a very good article. It just needs work. Because this is a legal-related article, it's a bit harder and for me it's a more involved kind of thing which I wish I had time for. Karl Twist (talk) 06:13, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: In its current form, as I am reading the article, I agree that the sources could be cleaned up and that there is a lot that contributes more to verifiability than significance. That said, the Washingtonian source, combined with sufficient academic and legal analysis of his work available online (for example, by The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and other references in the current article), dissuades me from believing it is not noteworthy. Many cases that he has represented (and are cited here) are notable, and while that needs to be discounted for his passing mention, there are many of those examples that do end up adding up.
