Game of Thrones: A Day in the Life

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

An unaired promotional video for Game of Thrones (season 5). Not notable independently from that season of the TV series. A redirect there, where the same content already exists, has been reverted. Also problematic because of possible WP:COI – the article was created by ADayInTheLifeGoT (talk · contribs) – and because the content is an unattributed copy of content removed as duplicative from the season article.

Kick to AFC (or userfy, or whatever we do these days that used to be called incubation). This appears to be an HBO "making of" documentary, which I'm not sure is precisely the same thing as a "promotional video"; I certainly wouldn't call it part of one of the show's seasons. There's been some attention given it: the Entertainment Weekly source already used as a reference, and this CNET article are both at least vaguely sources. On the other hand, it's not scheduled to air until 8 February, and so WP:CRYSTAL applies. On the gripping hand, I'd be shocked if more sources didn't happen given the popularity of the series, so outright deletion < 3 weeks in advance seems bureaucratic. Moving it out of mainspace until then seems a reasonable compromise. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:26, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Game of Thrones (season 5)#Promotion. The thing about "making of" specials is that it's fairly rare that they're actually noteworthy in their own right. It's entirely possible that this one will gain enough coverage to warrant an article, but at this point in time it's just a wee bit too early to really warrant an entry. There are notifications that it will air, but no actual reviews at this point in time of the material and the coverage so far is a little too light, as it's all "look at this trailer" and "this will air" short type of articles. There's no actual meat as of yet. I do anticipate this gaining some coverage, but I can't guarantee that it will, so for now this should just redirect. I'm not opposed to userfication or AfC, although I would like ADayInTheLifeGoT (talk · contribs) to change their username first to reflect on them as an individual and not be so COI.

Redirect per above. As it airs, there may be passing mentions in RS, but even then doubtful it'll be independently notable. Pax 06:41, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
