Not a notable web series JDDJS (talk) 20:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom: where is the significant coverage of this series? ╟─Treasury Tag►Subsyndic General─╢ 20:13, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per nom: It's something like an expansion to a notable series Babelcolour5 (talk) 23:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What does that even mean? And there are no sources to show that it is notable. JDDJS (talk) 03:33, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is a breakout from an article about a notable YouTube web series. Babelcolour5 (talk) 05:02, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any sources to prove that it is notable? JDDJS (talk) 15:00, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The claim of notability would be more plausible if the series had an article of its own, but right now it is only a redirect to a small section in another article. Monty ₈₄₅ 15:42, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is the most-subscribed channel on YouTube, with nearly 4 million viewers, and the series a a whole has over a billion hits (source).--Architeuthidae (Talk | Contributions) 17:33, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One, the the page you linked it to is not List of Equals Three. Two, there is no source saying it is the most subscribed too. Three, even if it is, there doesn't nessecary have to be a list of every episode they out up. JDDJS (talk) 17:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the page I linked to is Equals Three--the series is on the RayWilliamJohnson channel on YouTube. You can see the most subscribed here. And by that logic, there is no reason to have any of these.--Architeuthidae (Talk | Contributions) 19:55, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment nigahiga is most subscribed, but they have been going back and forth on most subscribed for a while.--Architeuthidae (Talk | Contributions) 19:56, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ray William Johnson is the most subscribed series, not equals three. He runs more than one series. JDDJS (talk) 05:44, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you quite understand. The only series on the RayWilliamJohnson channel (which is most subscribed) is equals three. Breaking NYC and Your Favorite Martian are on separate channels, which are still very big, but not most subscribed. Equals Three is the most subscribed series. If you go to his channel and watch all the videos, they are all equals three.--Architeuthidae (Talk | Contributions) 18:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No credible sources available. If sources can be found, then I would say keep it. --Carnold30 (talk) 19:30, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. While you can read various numbers on youtube regarding this series (number of views, number of likes/dislikes, number of subscribers), it lacks sources from anywhere other than youtube. The listed sources are from a less than reputable online journal written in blog format, Ray William Johnson's personal website, and youtube itself. That being said a "TV guide" isn't needed for a singular youtube series. An article for the series itself should be created before a list of episodes is even considered as a page. --GuidingArrow (talk) 00:21, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If you look at Fred Figglehorn's artical page about the list of episodes, or any other TV show's "list of episodes" articals it doesn't have any references or stuff Babelcolour5 (talk) 07:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When the episode list is just part of the article as in the case of Fred, then references aren't that big of a deal. But when you create an article just about the episodes, you need at least one reference. JDDJS (talk) 14:10, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
