Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Entertainment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by BinaryBrainBug (talk | contribs) at 22:24, 27 May 2025 (Listing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Conglomeration.). 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 Entertainment. 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|Entertainment|~~~~}} 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 Entertainment. 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.

Short-lived faction with little to no significance. Members no longer affiliated according to AEW roster website and probably would not be brought back. BinaryBrainBug (talk) 22:24, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are shorter articles with less significance. This faction technically has not even disbanded, two of the "former" members are wrestling on the same team in a match tonight. All of the former members (except one who works full time in Japan) are still active in AEW. This article shouldn't be anywhere near deletion. SwitchMIX (talk) 22:33, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate of The Undisputed Era. BinaryBrainBug (talk) 22:16, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

been told that until there's a reliable source that indicates paragon is a contiuation the undisputed era its own article is for the best for now Imdeadinside12 (talk) 23:48, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Imdeadinside12 What source would that be? Lemonademan22 (talk) 13:08, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't that what you said on the Undisputed Era talk page? Imdeadinside12 (talk) 19:21, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Imdeadinside12 Negative. I said it would be a better option to make a seperate article than continue The Undisputed Era one as tha would be original resarch. Lemonademan22 (talk) 19:40, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Isn’t that what happened tho? So what’s the proble? Imdeadinside12 (talk) 20:04, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Imdeadinside12 I do not know. I didn't nominate the article for deletion. You would have to ask the nominator that question. Lemonademan22 (talk) 22:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
like Lemonademan22 said i think it would be best to keep it a seperate article than continue the UE one since that would be original research but we can easily merge this with the UE when a reliable source says otherwise. Imdeadinside12 (talk) 01:39, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The holding company is not-notable and fails WP:NCORP. The article is primarily content about the San Antonio Spurs, not the holding company, then a WP:SYNTHed-together reporting of the holding company's portfolio. Longhornsg (talk) 17:18, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sports teams holding companies often are notable. Doing a before search brings up many hits for the company. Mostly books related to sports management. But I agree, the article should be redone to be less focused on the Spurs. ロドリゲス恭子 (talk) 18:02, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hits yes, but it's WP:ROUTINE coverage, which is what I found in my before. Are the cites in the books WP:SIGCOV of SS&E specifically? Longhornsg (talk) 18:24, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Some books have had multiple pages dedicated to SS&E, such as these, and they are national authors too rather than local San Antonio coverage.

Next Management (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable modeling agency. Simply a laundry list of clients. Mostly unsourced, and the sources that do appear are simply announcements or basic coverage of a new client. No WP:SIGCOV indicating the agency is notable for any other reason. ZimZalaBim talk 12:05, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – Next Management meets the criteria for inclusion under both WP:GNG and WP:ORGCRIT. The agency has received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources well beyond basic client announcements. Notable third-party sources include:
The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2022/may/28/jean-luc-brunel-abuse-six-women-epstein) – in-depth investigative coverage linking the agency’s founding to industry-wide issues and prominent figures.
The Daily Beast (https://www.thedailybeast.com/steven-mnuchins-mysterious-link-to-creepy-epstein-model-scout-jean-luc-brunel) – coverage of the agency’s early corporate structure and legal disputes.
Business Insider (https://www.businessinsider.com/brunel-epstein-friend-and-alleged-rapist-arrested-at-paris-airport-2020-12) – connects the agency’s legacy to broader criminal investigations tied to its co-founder.
Anadolu Agency (https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/epsteins-french-associate-jean-luc-brunel-found-dead-in-paris-prison/2507523) – further international coverage of its ties to figures of major global news interest.
These sources go beyond client rosters and establish Next Management as a historically significant entity in the modeling and fashion industries. It was co-founded by Faith Kates, a widely recognized industry figure, and Jean-Luc Brunel, a central figure in ongoing international legal and journalistic scrutiny. The agency has also been at the heart of high-profile litigation and internal disputes which were widely reported and are clearly encyclopedic in nature.
This is not a vanity agency profile, it documents a company central to a major international scandal, referenced in multiple mainstream outlets. Deletion would erase a vital contextual link in the documentation of modeling industry accountability and the Epstein network investigations. WPisOpinion (talk) 07:40, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I can only read the Guardian and Anadolu articles (others paywalled), but I would characterize these as passing mentions of Next Management -- simply mentioning that this firm was created in the midst of the larger controversy these articles are actually about. Doesn't really rise to the level of SIGCOV in my initital estimation. --ZimZalaBim talk 11:02, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus‎. Given that there was a very recent AfD that ended in keep, I am going to just close this now rather than dragging things out. Malinaccier (talk) 17:44, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sources cited are short entertainment writeups, interviews, and tabloid style pieces that lack depth, independence, and sustained coverage. There's a heavy reliance on promotional content, social media mentions, and news aggregators, rather than neutral, in-depth profiles by reliable third-party sources.

Delete. The article says he is a candidate in a special election and a political advisor. Candidates are not inherently notable or inherently generic. I see nothing about his 2025 candidacy or his 2024 almost candidacies that would meet any sort of ten year test of significance. Senior advisor is a vague title and one that almost certainly does not apply to Martin. He does not show up on Legistorm, or in any FEC disbursements, and Houston Landing describes him as a former intern in October 2023.

The only other area I want to preemptively address is the sources in the article mention that he has a presence on TikTok. WP:ENTERTAINER lays out that either 1) the person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; or 2) the person has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. The first one is not relevant. The second one I do not feel he meets. Numerous people confront and/or make fun of MAGA. There is nothing about the content or having 275,000 followers with 20,000 views per week (per a citation in the article) that meets #2. Yes, there was a keep vote on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kat Abughazaleh, but that sourcing was beyond the mere existence of her social media following (which is larger than Martin's) and her candidacy.

This page should be deleted due to some combination of WP:TOOSOON, WP:BLP1E, WP:NOPAGE, and not meeting WP:GNG. I am agnostic as to a redirect to 2025 Texas's 18th congressional district special election. Also, as I am going to end all of these now that election season is afoot, never forget everyone, an article about you or someone you like isn't necessarily a good thing.

Relisting comment: As it stands, there is a pretty clear consensus against notability. Relisting to give Sumana Harihareswara a chance to take a look into the sourcing as per their vote. But if there is not notability, sending to draft is just delaying the inevitable.

I stumbled upon this article after looking at the LiveLike VR article that was nominated for deletion. Three sources are given in the article, one of which is a press release, and another doesn't exist at all. Fails WP:NCORP. Madeleine (talk) 22:36, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've AFD'd this, but actually I think it should be redirected to Wriggler (video game). There doesn't appear to be any independent, reliable sources giving significant coverage to the subject of this article. Sourcing is all tabloid news (The Mirror, The Sun, Metro) or passing mentions. Simply appearing on BGT (and not being recognised...) does not indicate notability. Simply being a bit-part actor in numerous films does not indicate notability. Additionally I have WP:PROMO/WP:COI concerns here.

They wrote the ZX Spectrum game Wriggler together with their twin when they were at school, and this game is clearly notable, but nothing else they have done appears to be notable.

Also nominating The Vampires of Bloody Island for deletion (no need to redirect this), which is the film Allin Kempthorne created. The only coverage that could be found for this is blatantly promotional ("we were forced to bring forward the release of this film because of an email campaign that no-one but us is the source for existing") and from sources of dubious reliability. Simply being nominated for a Twitter Shorty Award does not indicate notability.

Similarly also Learning Hebrew for the same reasons.FOARP (talk) 07:22, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
