As much as I love this webseries, it does not have enough significant coverage in reliable, third-part sources to warrant an article. Aoba47 (talk) 16:05, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Internet Lesbian and Gay Television Series, 1996-2014 But not so sure about the general notability. I'm new and not super familiar with all the policies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pvirgiliusmaro (talk • contribs) 19:26, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Pvirgiliusmaro: The source is good and could be used in the article, but that source alone does not support why this should have an independent article. Aoba47 (talk) 19:51, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: Here are my (slightly disorganized) thoughts:

I don't think that RuPaul's Drag Race Fashion Photo RuView has enough notability on its own to have its own page. The webseries is a playlist hosted on WOWPresents, WOW's YouTube channel. I looked through all of the episodes in the playlist, and, with 4 exceptions (1, 2, 3, 4), the videos have about 150,000 to 450,000 views each. (Side note: the last video in the playlist is the music video for "Into the Great Wide Open" by TomPettyVevo and I can't find any explanation.)
I'm hesitant to delete from existence the extensive tables of the results because we don't know that the information won't be valuable in the future. At the same time, I don't believe that they are appropriate for an encyclopedic entry. Maybe someone more invested than I in the RuPaul's Drag Race franchise would want to save it or put it on a personal blog so that the information, which has been compiled so thoroughly, is still accessible should it be wanted?
There is no mention of the series on the page for RuPaul's Drag Race. Could the key information from the lead section be moved to that page? Perhaps in the section for related media? (Is that what a merge is?)

In conclusion, I don't see a strong argument for its notability in and of itself, but I do think it is notable enough to be mentioned in RuPaul's Drag Race. Disclaimer: I don't actually watch RuPaul's Drag Race, so my observations of notability are from an outsider's perspective. Don't know if that matters. Also, I'm still learning all the policies, procedures, etc. so please let me know if I'm overstepping or if I've broken any protocol or anything. Also also, my bad on forgetting to sign my previous post. Pvirgiliusmaro (talk) 21:46, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Pvirgiliusmaro: You are not overstepping and I greatly appreciate your feedback on this. AfD is intended to be a forum for different opinions and thoughts. I would say this should be deleted outright, but if there must be a merge/redirect, then a small section can be made in RuPaul's Drag Race as it is the most connected to that. I do not think that the extensive charts have any real value on Wikipedia and I feel they are more appropriate for a fan Wiki. Someone did put a lot of work into the tables and that is admirable, but they still do not really have a place on here. I would agree that the "Related Media" section is the most appropriate place for a merge/redirect if that decision is reached. Thank you again for your comments, and I hope you are enjoying your time on Wikipedia! Aoba47 (talk) 23:08, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
