  • Let's not have anymore of these unencyclopedic articles ("X on Twitter") on the front page. Drmies (talk) 00:32, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
  • You and your trivia are not the future of WP, Tony. I'm not going to AfD it, but I don't want this tripe on the front page. Drmies (talk) 01:55, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
  • If so, I weep for the future. LadyofShalott 02:00, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Yes, and I find that to be a sad fact, not one to emulate. LadyofShalott 04:19, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
  • You're absolutely right that I don't like it. I certainly know better than to use that as a deletion argument. There are however relevant arguments which are perfectly valid: this is pure recentism, and I question its lasting significance. LadyofShalott 04:30, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
I also don't like this. Something should be done about these articles. Tony is right, this is a good time to discuss this. (I am hoping none of the Bollywood fan's should get this idea. They won't even use Reliable Sources in this type of article.) §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 14:13, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Let it be stated for the record that the consensus at ANI is that it was improper for you to close those discussions. LadyofShalott 03:33, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
Sigh I'm going to wade in... I usually argue WP should be about

Cézanne and Niobium, with most anything BLP avoided. However, in this case "his" twitter acct has made a lot of news: CNN, Wired, NPR and the NYT. I hate this topic, but it isn't exactly un-notable. I'd rather hear review of the CONTENT of this article. If sources and writing are good enuf (which granted it might not be) then keep the damn thing. Saying it's the "future" of WP is of course totally ridiculous (shame on you Tony), but rejecting it cuz the topic isn't "snooty" enough isn't good either. OK now I'm off to take a shower.-- Ultracobalt  (talk) 06:20, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


Updating to say: Article has been nominated for AFD. This now needs to survive an AfD. If that happens, is it ready to be moved to the prep area? --LauraHale (talk) 23:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't know why this was was relisted at 9 keeps and 4 deletes. Subsequent responses are 6 keeps and 5 deletes. This is either going to be kept or NCed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:51, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
I have to agree with Drmies, this is really trivial. There's lots more important stuff to both write about and put on the main page. — Puppy of Dog The Teddy Bear • WOOF • 20:44, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
Obviously, many people agree with you. This has been at AFD for over 2 weeks and with over 25 respondents, nearly 40% want the article deleted. However, what about the opinions of the more than 60%?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:52, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

There has been a discussion regarding fair use for the screencaps used in these articles and weather or not they qualify. Wikipedia:Non-free content review#File:@justinbieber screenshot cropped.jpg makes it seem unlikely they do. If the screencaps are in the article, this issue needs to be addressed to be sure they actually qualify under Wikipedia's Fair Use policy. --LauraHale (talk) 12:02, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

You have yet to make a cogent argument there as to why a picture of his moptop is preferable to a picture of his tweets in that debate.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:52, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
Furthermore the Bieber Twitter account has a copyrightable avatar making his page un-FUR-able.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:17, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
  • This has been listed for a month and it's still not properly proofread. Drmies (talk) 21:50, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
    • All these WP:POPSTAR on Twitter articles are just WP:POPCRAP and a sad sign of the state of wikiPumpkinSky talk 02:14, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
