Oobi at Work

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This was speedied per WP:CSD A7, however the page's author contends that the subject is notable, so I've undeleted it to allow for a full AfD. This is a YouTube series of videos based on a Nicktoon (which raises the question of copyright infringement on the part of the series' author?). I believe this fails the GNG; also fails WP:WEB, especially point 3 ("except for...being hosted on sites without editorial oversight...including YouTube").

Delete - Totally non-notable subject, fails WP:GNG and especially WP:WEB as it is nothing more than a self-published production of extremely low quality. - Ahunt (talk) 23:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails both WP:NOTE and WP:WEB; just another YouTube series without the references to establish notability. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 00:08, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Concur on the lack of notability. Bagheera (talk) 00:12, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that the page ~~Take A Bath, Oobi!~~ should likely be covered by this discussion as well. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:57, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - also List of Oobi at Work videos and ~~List of Take A Bath, Oobi! videos~~. I'm unsure how to add them to the AfD proper (and don't have time at the moment), so if somebody else can do that, that might be good. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:59, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - They have all been nominated for CSD. This is starting to look like a major advertising campaign here. - Ahunt (talk) 01:06, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails GNG and the web specific rules also. Ealdgyth - Talk 04:03, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:SNOW - no regular editor has read this article and could state that it meets the notability guidelines. Bearian (talk) 18:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above. VikÞor | Talk 01:27, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
When the phrase "Oobi at Work" is typed in Google Search, this was the top result, even when the page was deleted. If the page is again deleted, Internet users may click on the Wikipedia Oobi at Work link and think that it might of been deleted for vandalism, causing nobody to think that this is a real, existing video series. It should be kept.--71.174.123.114 (talk) 18:32, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - First off, it won't show up in Google searches for too long as Google's spider bots search the web and find the Wikipedia article gone it will be relatively quickly deleted from Google's database. Second, since when does Google's search engine limitations influence Wikipedia keeping non-notable articles? - Ahunt (talk) 18:40, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
