List of Rhett and Link Ear Biscuits episodes – Speedy close. Violates WP:DRVPURPOSE item 8. – Stifle (talk) 08:20, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.

The majority of votes were against deletion. As noted, this list is very helpful in promoting the show and would enhance Wikipedia by encouraging more Rhett and Link fans to come here. The admin has no right to ignore the votes or to destroy this work. The fact that most people find it helpful is a good reason to keep it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.170.50.162 (talk • contribs) 19:44, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keeping in mind that I'm generally in favor of keeping around pages like this, you should be aware that our policies (in particular WP:GNG), which dictate what articles we keep around and which ones we don't, describe the rules for what we keep around and what we don't. If there are "reliable" sources (basically fairly mainstream, see WP:RS) that have reviewed some of the episodes, these lists might have a chance. Otherwise, they will probably get, and stay, deleted. The basic idea, for better or for worse, is that we only keep around articles that cover topics that other "reliable" sources have covered. That deletion discussion, just like this discussion, are not at vote. Rather, it's a discussion about if the topic meets our guidelines for keeping the topic as a article at Wikipedia. I hope that makes sense. Hobit (talk) 01:18, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Earlier than that apparently, the highly visible disruption has been on WOP related stuff since August; I'd suggest closing this DRV and allowing any good faith editor to open one if there's a need. —SpacemanSpiff 05:04, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
