Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station and promotion of podcast
By the way, per your edit comments to "Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station", Buzzsprout stats pages appear to be visible only to the podcast owners. If you are the owner of or directly involved with the "90 Degrees South" podcast, please be aware that it may be a conflict of interest violation for you to assert the notability of your own podcast. --Mockingbus (talk) 03:17, 25 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Fan yes, associated no.
 * Why the bullying? Why the snobbery? 64.98.124.43 (talk) 16:44, 25 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure that my position that content be independently verifiable and reasonably encyclopedic constitutes "bullying" or "snobbery", but I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way; that's not my intent. Wikipedia has persistent problems with low-importance and/or self-promotional cruft and tending it keeps more significant information from being buried in junk. There's at least a general sense of what Wikipedia is not; one of these is, essentially, "TVTropes". While list entries often keep a lower threshold of notability than full entries (some articles get enough spam that they have a "no redlinks policy"), that doesn't mean that there's no threshold. For example, please see style guide on "in popular culture sections", and the guidelines for selecting items in stand-alone lists.
 * "For example, all known species within a taxonomic family are relevant enough to include in a list of them, but List of Norwegian musicians would not be encyclopedically useful if it indiscriminately included every garage band mentioned in a local Norwegian newspaper."
 * With zero third-party coverage (that I can find at least), the podcast is, basically, a "garage band", contextually indistinguishable from, say, "The Simpsons' Antarctic Adventure". I'm happy that you enjoy it and I hope it's good enough to gain some notability, but it doesn't seem to have any yet.
 * That said, I'm not interested in a two-party edit war and clearly you feel strongly about the matter; let's take it to the article's talk page and let other people weigh in.
