Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Comics and animation. 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|Comics and animation|~~~~}} 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.

Note that 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 links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Comics and animation.

Democracy (Judge Dredd storyline)[edit]

Though this article is a GA, i'm not convinced that this article is notable. I can't find any sources proving the article's notability while the article's sources themselves are either unreliable/questionable sources or just the comics themselves.

Alex Clark (animator)[edit]

Contested PROD that was restored form WP:RFUD. Original rationale was "Non-notable, most of the sources I find are for an unrelated Alex Clark since many people have had that name throughout history." proposed by me ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 22:15, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What changes would you like to see done to the page to address your concerns? Alex Clark is a Youtuber with 4 million subscribers and is currently active. 76.91.157.0 (talk) 17:10, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That's completely irrelevant to his notability. Read WP:N. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:54, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

He appears to be a notable figure based on what is currently written on his wikipedia page and there are links to several notable sources including Huffington post and deadline. Can you please explain what you're considering when deciding on notability. 76.91.157.0 (talk) 12:19, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Notability is not based solely on the fact that there are reliable sources in the article. It's based on whether those sources are independent from the subject and that those sources are in depth in their coverage on the subject. I'll create a source assessment table based on these criteria to make it easier to see what source do and don't contribute to notability. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:16, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks. Based on the link you provided all the linked articles appear to be independent from the subject and a few are in-depth as you discussed. Im just not sure what you are looking to be established in the article thats not already present. 76.91.157.0 (talk) 17:21, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete: Fails GNG and BIO. Nothing found that meets IS RS with SIGCOV.

Redirect to The Beano. There's some sources stuck in books that aren't accessible online that might be helpful here. I found a passing mention of Judge in The Independent (not clipping out of laziness but happy to upon request) in 2011 that talks about his creation of the Numskulls, a comic inside of The Beano. Another brief mention of his creation of the Numskulls is in the Hollywood Reporter ([1]). Judging by other sources I've found and our own page on Billy Whizz, it's clear that Judge is discussed in much more detail in The History of the Beano, but I have no way of easily accessing it (Google Books link is here [2]). All of this is to say that if he is notable at all, it is in the context of The Beano and therefore we should redirect to it. Nomader (talk) 16:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

List of Raa Raa the Noisy Lion episodes[edit]

Comment: here's the copyvio report . At the very least, this needs reporting to the noticeboard, though the other issues make me tip towards delete. Pear 2.0 (say hi!) 13:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete Clear case of Not TV guide. Shankargb (talk) 18:36, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep after excising and revdel'ing the copyvio descriptions. Shankargb and TimothyBlue need to go read WP:NOTTVGUIDE, and explain how An article on a broadcaster should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, format clocks, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. is relevant to this list. Hint: it's not. This is the sort of list that is kept routinely for notable television shows without individually notable episodes. Jclemens (talk) 21:12, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Even if this was not a factor, per NLIST, there are not independent reliable sources addressing the subject directly and indepth from Ind RS. TV Guide listing do not show notability. // Timothy :: talk 21:30, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment I can't see how WP:NOTTVGUIDE applies here, since that merely says that we shouldn't list upcoming and current events, while this is a list of historical episodes. The question is whether you consider Raa Raa notable enough to deserve an episode list. If he is, then splitting it off into an article separate from the main article on Raa Raa does make sense. Elemimele (talk) 22:30, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete Yet another no-sourced episode list for a show designed to have limited plots on purpose and whose actual target audience wouldn't know how to access this list or care about Zebby's fear of zipwires day-to-day. Tired of these preschool show episode lists, and they just need to go already. Nate • (chatter) 22:38, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep Every notable television show lists its episodes, and when that list is long enough it gets made into a spinout article. Sometimes people look at the name NOTTVGUIDE and don't actually read what it says. We need to update that guideline to avoid future confusion since this does come up repeatedly. Dream Focus 02:32, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment It has one source, which is literally just its TV Guide page, and the show hasn't even aired on cable/broadcast television in the United States. Not acceptable. Nate • (chatter) 15:25, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Why would it need to be shown in the United States to be notable? Three seasons and 78 episodes shown in the United Kingdom. Dream Focus 19:11, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment The article needs sources. One source, involving a listings site not native to the show's originating nation, is by far not acceptable. A list article, even one with the line Raa Raa and his friends launch Huffty's whooshy whooshers into the air and lose them in the jungle, requires sources just as much as any other article. And the TVG source just carries one generic logline, which makes it pretty much useless. Nate • (chatter) 19:56, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Not every TV show has a list of episodes, Lists have to pass NLIST. // Timothy :: talk 15:50, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Really? Which television show notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, which has too many episodes to fit on its main page, does not have a spinout page for its episodes? Dream Focus 19:17, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep. The articles cited as references seem to be staff-written pieces rather than press releases. I fixed the dead link. I also found listings for the program on an Indonesian site, indicating that the show has an international audience (or at least an Indonesian one in addition to its main Indian audience.
