Remixed video
An anonymous editor has repeated added a paragraph about a YouTube video which includes a section of the Cow video with a remixed sound track that incorporates material by Cupcakke and Ariana Grande. The paragraph has been reverted twice by, but has been restored again. This paragraph should not be included because: I will delete the paragraph again. Please do not restore it without contributing to a discussion here. Verbcatcher (talk) 12:43, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) References to other works in articles are usually not considered noteworthy unless there is a Wikipedia article either on the work or on its creator. We do not have an article on the creator of the video. This is not a work by Cupcakke or Ariana Grande.
 * 2) The YouTube video is probably a copyright violation. There is no indication that permission has been obtained from the copyright owners of Cow, nor from Cupcakke or Ariana Grande. We should not link to this, even in a citation, see WP:ELNEVER.
 * 3) The additional source added in the most recent contribution does not mention this YouTube video, nor the original Cow video. It may have been cited to support the video being part of a trend, but it does not make the video any more significant.


 * I agree with your reasoning. Thanks for cleaning this up. Squeakachu (talk) 17:23, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
