Talk:Masked Republic

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because the company is clearly notable and has tons of covergae. The Speedy was added by someone who passed by and saw a stub without giving it a second thought or research.★Trekker (talk) 19:08, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You'd think that is a claim of significance, but apparently not... Adam9007 (talk) 19:14, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You'd think clear use of references to serval reliable sources would make people realize that it passes GNG. But apparently not... ★Trekker (talk) 19:20, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , To some editors, A7 is purely about the content of the article (not the cited sources), and even the subject passing GNG doesn't make the article exempt from A7. Adam9007 (talk) 19:22, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Those editors are wrong and not following Wikipedia guidelines. An article should not be deleted because it is a stub or has bare urls, that's not how notability is established. Why does Wikipedia even have GNG if people cant just ignore it on a whim?★Trekker (talk) 19:25, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I did, as it happens, look at the existing sources in detail and conduct my own search. The sources provided largely regurgitate press releases and in my view do nothing to establish notability. As Adam9007 notes, the point about asserting significance is a little separate to that and is about the content as it stands. In my view, the line about being 'the largest seller of lucha libre related products' was not sufficient, but if I am incorrect then no doubt the CSD request will be refused.

 * Well, there's also the fact it is founded run by a notable person (which is a WP:CCS despite what some say (they misinterpret WP:NOTINHERITED)), because there's a merge/redirect (an alternative to deletion, which is policy) target, which 9 times out of 10 makes deletion controversial.

 * Seems to have been removed now. Not sure if it was an admin or what happened.★Trekker (talk) 19:42, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
