Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/News media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by T5r4e3wnc (talk | contribs) at 06:22, 8 April 2020 (Listing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Red Scare (podcast). (TW)). 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 News media. 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|News media|~~~~}} 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 News media. 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.

Ahnaf Lion (talk) 16:19, 3 April 2020 (UTC)The person described here is a veteran of the Indian media industry and even though he has primarily worked in STAR, STAR is a behemoth player in the industry and his performance & contribution for STAR has actually impacted the industry notably. Unilateral decision of the primary contributor to move the article was motivated by his being a scholar of Indian sub-continent media industry. The citations inserted here are from sources that are notable among the industry critics. Also, a same version of the article was reviewed and approved in 2018. Therefore, the article shouldn't at all e deleted. Ahnaf Lion (talk) 16:19, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: The article is unreferenced and self-contradictory (established in 1969 or 1979?). Its claim to being "the oldest Magazine or Digest of Pakistan in continuous publication" needs a verifiable source (and a publication such as Urdu Digest appears to be older, challenging that claim). If the article is to remain, the text needs some mooring in references (and the passing mentions in lists identified in the first AfD are not enough). I'm happy to revise my view if such sources can be identified to rectify the text, but as things stand this fails WP:PRODUCT (and the publisher has no article which could serve as a redirect target) and WP:GNG.

  • Strong delete It looks like a hoax, swims and quacks like a hoax to me. The external link links to a parked domain (a Wayback snapshot from 2007 shows it is a forum and nothing to do with a magazine), the native name returns nothing relevant from search results, the names of the editor and publisher also return only Wikipedia mirrors, and the ISSN link returns a 404. The article was created in 2007, and it seems that the only people who have added substiantial content to it are SPAs. Even if this supposed publication somehow exists, there is no indicator of notability. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 22:47, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep.

Your vote is certainly valid, but any notion that granting non-notable spreaders of disinformation any shred of legitimacy is detrimental to the project. And as the page exists now, it appears as a clear Wikipedia:Attack page. I am in no way endorsing or supporting this individual's views, but the fact that the page lacks basic biographic material (birthdate, birthplace, education, etc.) and only serves as a repository for falsehoods and misnomers, speaks volumes.

  • Keep She may be a conspiracy theorist but she passes notability guidelines. Frankly on an encyclopedia that has articles for neo-Nazis, it makes no sense to start worrying that "granting non-notable spreaders of disinformation any shred of legitimacy is detrimental to the project". Wikipedia weighs notability on the number of available sources, not on the coherency of a subjects views.IphisOfCrete (talk) 20:44, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
