Platform holder

Hi there. Couldn't we have expanded the platform holder article instead of just reducing to a redirect in a glossary? I spent a lot of time to create the article and find sources for it. It feels a little defeating to have done all that for basically nothing. Osh33m (talk) 14:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Osh33m: Unfortunately "platform holder" is too narrow a concept to work, and what was in the article at that point was a pure WP:DICDEF. However it doesn't have to be for nothing. You are free to integrate the information at Video game#Platform. If it grows too large, you may be able to start a split discussion. However, at most I can see Video game platform becoming an article after it becomes big enough a split is required. "Platform holder" will likely still be an untenable concept for an article as it is simply a buzzword referring to a company that owns a platform. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:00, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Zxcvbnm: Okay. I took your advice and added the content to that page. I hope it gets expanded upon in its current state still. --Osh33m (talk) 16:42, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

CSD G6s

Hello, Zxcvbnm,

Please tag these pages using Twinkle and select CSD>G6 Move and, in the field, put the name of the draft you want moved. There needs to be a live link so the patrolling admins don't need to cut and paste the name of the page in the search bar. Then an admin can review the draft, delete the redirect and move the article swiftly. Otherwise, your request is likely to sit for quite a while until someone gets to it. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:17, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@Liz: I have the ability to do a pageswap myself if I really wanted to. But, specifically, I tag these unnecessary redirects for deletion so that I can actually run the draft approval script rather than having to do everything manually. I don't mind waiting extra time, otherwise I'd just do it immediately. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm going to withdraw the AfD, not because of your arguments themselves but because I do understand it's a subject that matters to you, and looking online upcoming DLC may offer reception, and an AfD would just make that harder. I am saying this privately though because I truly do feel you need to examine the consistency of your stances: it does feel hypocritical in how you argue and go after other subjects (including just recently), something that's been brought up to you before by myself and others. A consistent view would help a lot, both for other editors and your own work.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 11:40, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

I mean, obviously the article is important to me - I wrote the whole thing! I'm not sure why I'd spend hours writing an article just to immediately be fine with its deletion.

I'm a bit conflicted on the withdrawal - you clearly aren't changing your stance on the current article at all. I do hope that it gets more reception upon the DLC's release, but I also hope that this will not be used to, in essence, "deny me the win".

According to the AfD stats tool, I have an 80% rate of correct !votes and a 75% success rate for articles I nominated. This, to me, does not indicate hypocritical behavior, as I'd expect them to be far more all over the place if I was solely !voting based on personal preference. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:30, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Zx, it's just me just doing a nice gesture. Your article going down isn't a "win" for me and if you think I see it as such then you're not only assuming some really bad faith ,you've really got your head in the wrong game.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 19:53, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Explanation for recent action

Could you explain to me why my article for Gran Turismo for Boys does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines? WikiBunny2K1 (talk) 22:46, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

@WikiBunny2K1: When you created it, it had 3 articles from IGN (counts as a single source, per WP:GNG), and 2 interviews (WP:PRIMARY sources, per GNG), making it not pass notability guidelines. As it only had a single secondary source, IGN.

The idea of the IGN source being significant is also dubious. I recently worked on an article called True Fantasy Live Online that was also a cancelled game, but that had indepth development and gameplay information, while the sources in this article are just news posts with very brief info. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:20, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Understood, thank you for the clarification. WikiBunny2K1 (talk) 23:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lloyd Garmadon (2nd nomination)

I don't wanna talk to the admin's talk page. But, I felt like this AfD closure was kinda awful. Wdyt personally? GreenishPickle! (🔔) 00:52, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

@Greenish Pickle!: I think the point was that there is no consensus to delete outright. You are free to start a merge discussion right away if you think it ought to be merged. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, the result should be no consensus or at least be relisted. But, it doesn't matter anyway. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 06:47, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

In AfD, a "no consensus" is only when there is not agreement whether to delete the article. Here there was agreement it should be kept, but some people argued for a merge. That's what I think the reasoning was here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:55, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Metallic Child and unreliable sources

You said that some sources are unreliable. But which sources are unreliable and why are they unreliable? EternalNub (talk) 05:01, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

@EternalNub: See WP:VG/S. The community has sorted most sites into reliable and unreliable, based on the editorial staff and whether one can assume they are factual and trustworthy. In this case, both Nintendo Life and TouchArcade are reliable, which is why they have a listing in the review box, though that's still not quite enough to pass notability criteria. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

I added two more sources which are in spanish. One is MeriStation. EternalNub (talk) 05:30, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

@EternalNub:I am unsure of "No Somos Ñoños" as it seems very much like a standard blog, but Meristation is reliable. Remove or fix anything that depends on The Indie Game Website or Hey Poor Player and we should be good.

I'd personally suggest expanding the article a bit more though, based on those 3 reliable sources, as right now it would still be considered Stub-class. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:42, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
