I... umm... delete? TimothyJosephWood 21:01, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Clearly this public service announcement existed, but no sources have been provided to prove its notability beyond a brief mention on the pop culture website RetroJunk.com. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:08, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't care! I think it should be on Wikipedia. I have NO IDEA why you'd want to delete the-- OHHHHH I see. But could you at least not delete the page? It's just that I don't really know how to be a Wikipedia user.

1. It's on TV Tropes. That's how i found it.

2. A man named Radio Landscape made a remix. That's how popular it is...?

I really don't know what to say. Somebody help me!

    • I'm not saying this PSA is a bad topic to have a Wikipedia article about, but on the other hand it hasn't been established as being a good topic to have an article about, either. The main issue we are dealing with is notability. As expressed in the general notability guideline, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." The Retrojunk page cited in the article is not from a particularly reliable source, as Retrojunk seems to accept articles from anybody, nor is it significant coverage since Retrojunk's item is only three sentences long. I found various references to this PSA on message boards and the like (see [2] and [3], for example), but those aren't reliable sources either. I enjoy reading TV Tropes, but as user-generated content, it's not considered a reliable source. Radio Landscape does not seem to be a famous remixer, or at least he doesn't have an article on Wikipedia yet, so he doesn't contribute much to notability. I actually did find a reliable source (the Chicago Tribune) that mentioned the PSA ([4]), but the Tribune article has less than one sentence about the PSA, so that's not significant coverage. So I think that if this PSA is to have a Wikipedia article, it will be necessary for someone to delve into whatever offline sources might exist and find much better sourcing in terms of significant coverage from reliable sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:22, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: PSA: We need more opinions here.

  • Delete this article. There is not enough information from reliable sources to write an encyclopedic article on the subject, and I don't see it being a reasonable search term given the disambiguator (although I could be convinced otherwise on that part). That being said, I think it is reasonable to mention the PSA on the Jewish Chautauqua Society article, given the Chicago Times article (which is a great find!) menaechmi (talk) 15:29, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
