RE: Looky what I found

It would need ot be updated, since some of the data is old and out of date (we do list Class A and D stations now even though that says it shouldn't). We should try to combine the notablity in media page with this one and make kind of a two-fer page (one stop for all). Let me know what you come up with and I will be glad to put it by WP:WPRS and WP:TVS for their input as well. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 02:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As the initial tagger, you may be interested in Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2009_June_17#Hispanic_Commonweal. Regards, Bencherlite ^Talk 20:56, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great phrase – "nobility is not the same as notability". Look forward to reading the essay when you get a chance to write it; let me know. Regards, Bencherlite ^Talk 14:11, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, was bored at work so started WP:NOBLECAUSE. Join in! Bencherlite ^Talk 17:28, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! Great stuff. (I assumed WP:NOBILITY would have been taken by a WikiProject, but no!) Do you think it's ready for Wikipedia space, and addition to {{wcs}}? Bencherlite ^Talk 21:25, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the essay itself is ready to go to the Wikipedia namespace. I thought about adding WP:NOBLE as a redirect to it, but it already redirects to an essay on the notability of British peers. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 21:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks kind of NN to me...

I'm going to defer to your expertise on this one. There's virtually no content and no refs. Someone's tagged it for a speedy to boot. I'll clobber it now and ask questions later. :) Thanks for the alert. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:45, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was wondering why was the article deleted. It may seem insignificant/unotable to you but what gives you the authority to delete such a new page before its been given time to expand. yours biterly, hens45 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hens45 (talk • contribs) 01:28, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The deletion log states that the administrator who performed the actual deletion agreed with me that there is no indication that the subject of the article meets our notability guidelines. In short, it means that now is not the right time for Wikipedia to have an article on this topic. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 01:36, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

REX TV Pilot

Added links and information to a review in the NY POST that documents the validity of the posting. Pakitrickster (talk) 02:21, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The URL alone tells me it is no good. It begins with "http://blogs..." -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 02:23, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's under the banner of the NY POST which is the 13th oldest newspaper in the country. If their editors found it notable, I don't know why you wouldn't. No matter how the url starts out. It isn't a blog posting from some random site. Pakitrickster (talk) 02:28, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a random site, but it is still a blog posting. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 02:29, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again, one that falls under the THE NEW YORK POST. The rules are guidelines not imperatives, there are exceptions for everything and in this case an exception is completely warranted. people have searched wikipedia for the REX pilot which is why a page was created. You don't have to believe me, but you can believe the numbers attributed to the Pilot. Follow the link to the NY POST and then the link to Vimeo. You will see a total of 19.7k full views, not page visits. There is obviously a place for this on wikipedia. Or do almost 20,000 people not count? Maybe I'm mistaken on what desire for knowledge, however small, counts as "notable." Pakitrickster (talk) 02:38, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To which I answer that it is a blog posting. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 11:20, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And to which I say, there are a number of people in the pilot that are actual wiki entries themselves. Does that make it notable? One branch of information extending to another, or does that not make sense? I imagine you must be able to see that from your ridiculously high horse. But the rules are rules are rules and without those, where would you be? Enjoy the small amount of power you have Blanchard. It only exists here. I will be more than glad to repost the same exact wiki in a few months time when the sale of the pilot goes through and becomes public knowledge. You should be fine. At least there is a whole internet of nit-picking out there waiting for you, you poor lonely soul. Pakitrickster (talk) 21:25, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
