Talk:Potterless

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because...it is supported with evidence, it is a valid podcast and it is one of the most popular harry potter podcasts. This is not being done for promotion-the page doesn't need the promotion. --2602:304:B193:1120:8FF:7CA7:9E78:234C (talk) 21:13, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... the reasons listed for deletion were that the podcast is not notable enough, and that sources were not reliable. The article has been reworked to include more sources. Additionally, the podcast charts highly and has 500,000 subscribers and 30 million downloads. This makes it more notable than some podcasts that currently have Wikipedia articles. Again, I am not affiliated with Mike Schubert or anyone involved in producing the podcast. I am simply a fan of the podcast who believes that it is notable enough for a Wikipedia page. And I have tried to write the article from a neutral point of view - if you believe that it is not written neutrally enough, that can be fixed by you or anyone else who has not listened to the podcast if that is what is needed. But, deleting the page seems extreme. Everything I have presented in the article is a fact or a referenced opinion from someone else. I have not included my own opinions in any way.--Seanreyno (talk) 21:20, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I have declined ther speedy,, but please note that the number of subscribers or downloads is not a measure of Wikipedia notability or suitability for an article here. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:10, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

What the creator knew
In articles about a creative work, statements like should not be included unless they are direct or lightly paraphrased quotes, and in that case they should be marked, attributed and cited as quotes. "Schubert has said/writes that he knew...". Wikipedia cannot reasd Schubert's mind, nor can a reader verify what his thoguhts were. But if he said this, that statement could be verified. Also the "Soandso knew..." form is a stable of PR writing. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:19, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestion - I have edited that section to be worded more like an encyclopedia entry, and to attribute everything properly. I appreciate the help! Seanreyno (talk) 03:16, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

SPA
Note that the article was created twice by an SPA. I'm willing to AGF for now, but I suggest the editor not directly edit again and instead discuss desired changes here and gain consensus, or we'll likely have to put a COI tag on the article. —valereee (talk) 15:23, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
