All Things Comedy

Deprodded with suggestion of looking for further sources, but I found none. Current sources in article are either WP:PRIMARY or only mention the subject in passing ("All Things Comedy Host X to do Y"). Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:30, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep the subject passes WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. Merge to Bill Burr and Al Madrigal. I'm willing to admit most of the sources do not provide in depth coverage of the subject, but I think there is salvageable content here. TipsyElephant (talk) 20:12, 21 April 2022 (UTC)


 * The Province and NPR noted that the ATC network was part of the podcasting boom way back in 2014 and a decade after the company was established it is still receiving news coverage. The ATC network is one of the only cooperative/collective/artist-owned podcast networks I'm aware of and one of the only podcast cooperatives that has a Wikipedia page so far.  According to Deadline Hollywood, the ATC network is "the leading comedy podcast network featuring shows hosted by some of the industry’s top comedians and has over 15 million listeners and 50+ shows."


 * Some of these sources are probably routine, but I think it's worth noting that different parts of the company has received coverage from reliable sources for years. The ATC comedy festival has been discussed by multiple reliable sources. The ATC partnership with Comedy Central for three comedy specials has been discussed by multiple reliable sources.   The first was "Paul Virzi: I’ll Say This,"  the second was "IanTalk: Ideas Not Worth Spreading,"  and the third was "Jessica Kirson: Talking to Myself." The Patrice O’Neal documentary produced by ATC was discussed by multiple reliable sources.   The ATC partnership with Miramax received coverage in multiple reliable sources.  The ATC network also has a record label called All Things Records.


 * All Things Comedy produces multiple Spanish-language podcasts such as Leyendas Legendarias and El Dollop. The Capital Times called Leyendas Legendarias "one of Mexico's top podcasts," the LA Times called it "the #1 Spanish-language podcast in the world," It also won "Best Spanish Language Podcast" at the 2021 iHeartRadio awards. Based on this I think it's fair to assume there are more Spanish-language sources out there that discuss the ATC network (see WP:NPOSSIBLE or WP:ORGIN). The network has also produced quite a few notable podcasts and Wikipedia already has pages for seven of them: Your Mom's House, The Dollop, Tom Rhodes Radio, The Champs (podcast), Come to Papa (podcast), Monday Morning Podcast, and The Naughty Show. The article could at least be moved to "List of All Things Comedy productions" for navigational purposes. TipsyElephant (talk) 15:31, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment if the consensus is that All Things Comedy is not notable then I think there should be some discussion as to whether it should be merged or redirect to Bill Burr or Al Madrigal. TipsyElephant (talk) 15:38, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Vomiting all the sources back up doesn't help. Almost all of those sources are only passing mentions or name-drops, and not WP:SIGCOV. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:25, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * only four of the sources I cited are currently referenced in the Wikipedia page so I wouldn't say I "vomitted" them back up. Even if every single one of the sources are invalid there are still WP:ATD that were not pursued such as merging the contents into Bill Burr. TipsyElephant (talk) 16:37, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge Change my !vote based on the ability to merge content to multiple articles Delete This is an organization therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply and require multiple sources of in-depth references containing "Independent Content". None of the references meet the criteria, they're either passing mentions or they rely entirely on information provided by the organization or people associated with the org. There also isn't an obvious redirect - the org was founded by both Al Madrigal and Bill Burr and is already mentioned in both of their articles therefore it doesn't make sense to redirect to one or the other.

 * Merge to Bill Burr and Al Madrigal the text that can be salvaged on the basis of sources. There is no ground on which to support a separate, independent, Wikipedia article on the subject. Passing references and the like do not cut it. -The Gnome (talk) 16:43, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
