Gay Robot[edit]

I originally redirected this but that action was undone. While the topic is interesting, this article completely fails to meet WP:GNG. The two sources right now are unreliable (one is a Wikipedia article, one is a blog that uses this article as a source) A Google search yields no reliable sources that establish notability.

Keep, plenty of secondary sources in searches for "Gay Robot" with additional search parameter Sandler and/or Swardson. There's even multiple articles in a bunch of other languages.

Sandler (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL).
Swardson: (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL).

Cirt, can you please provide at least a few of the sources you are referring to? I don't see any reliable sources or sources that establish notability in those searches. Ryan Vesey 04:37, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you are looking at the sources in those links provided through a different perspective and seeing what you wish to see or not see, but the secondary sources are there, in multitude. :) Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 19:59, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've added some to the article including a few interviews. I gave up after the first 25 pages, there are a lot of YouTube links which is to be expected with this subject. Insomesia (talk) 20:02, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ per nom. Subject appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:NOTABLE. There are no reliable sources on the topic available from a Google search, all I see are unreliable references. TBr and ley 03:45, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it has to do with the world and it has a source Hulk3200 (talk) 03:50, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Inappropriate !vote, see Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. It doesn't pass WP:GNG and WP:NOTABLE, and thus should be deleted. Expand your comment properly to prove a valid argument. Also, the source is to "Blogspot", which is most certainly not reliable. TBr and ley 03:57, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not the best !vote, but the comment does mention sourcing, albeit it could have gone into a little more depth about sourcing. — Cirt (talk) 19:58, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It may have not seemed obvious but there are sources discussing the original song, the writing process, the process of turning it into a show, the animation show and other facets as well as other gay robot memes. All brought together I think it passes GNG. Note to closer: Article expanded and sources added. Insomesia (talk) 20:01, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken a glance at the changes and the article looks a lot better. I should have a chance soon to look through the sources and will modify my opinion then. Thanks for the improvements! Ryan Vesey 20:03, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Great job by Insomesia (talk · contribs) at improving the page with a multitude of source discussion, excellent work! :) — Cirt (talk) 20:04, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Looks good now. TBr and ley 20:12, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Insomesia has greatly expanded the article and added in references to prove this easily passes the general notability guidelines. Dream Focus 08:02, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Insomesia's improvements and clear demonstration of notability. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:36, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep badly written, and wandering into seriously off topic territory. But clearly notable, and clearly enough on topic information to support an article. Support efforts towards clean-up. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:39, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
