Is a newly registered TLD ipso facto notable? Nowadays they can be registered by anyone, so I see to fail why a new one should not meet the usual criteria.

This is my first article so I'll just describe my thought process here and let the people with experience weigh in. I saw this on the requested articles list and a quick search showed that there are articles for similar gTLDs (e.g. .college, .cloud, .ninja) so I assumed this was notable and would help fill in the gaps.

@Rakanikan: articles can usually only exist if they satisfy Wikipedia:N. That usually means that the article subject is covered in reliable sources. There are also a couple of things that Wikipedia is not to consider. Many other TLDs are not notable either and should be deleted as well. wumbolo ^^^ 20:55, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Donuts (company). Not notable. wumbolo ^^^ 20:55, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Internet top-level domains. I don't see reliable sources covering this as a TLD and I agree that it's not inherently notable now there are so many domains. Redirecting seems fair, but List of Internet top-level domains, which mentions it, is a better target than Donuts (company), which does not. › Mortee _talk 22:41, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
