Egypt's Sarcasm Society

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unconvinced there is substantial difference from version deleted in 2012, but creator asserts that there is Boleyn (talk) 15:39, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't think it meets WP:NOTE, in addition to not having enough sources and secondary sources. ToastyMallows (talk) 16:15, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Does not prove substantial coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. Delete per Wikipedia's Sarcasm Deletion criteria. Algébrico (talk) 03:21, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I have added a lot of secondary sources for the creation of the website and the owner, and references for the mentioned information which should be enough to reconsider the credibility of this article. The Greatest Director (talk) 18:23, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of any credible or sourced assertion of notability. The sources added in a recent edit are mostly the official website and a student newspaper. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:19, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think this site currently meets WP:WEB. All I could find was this article and a few Facebook pages. I'm a bit surprised there are not more English sources out there given its popularity, though perhaps there are some Arabic reviews out there for this Egyptian site. Then again, I suppose an Arab site with a Mexican ccTLD prefix whose primary language is English might have problems attracting commentary.  Funny  Pika! 03:44, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I have added that as a resource, the concept of the MX domain is to make it stand for "comics" as in "comix" so the entire domain sound like ESS comics, however it's not just about the site, its about the community itself, ESS has a page on facebook with over 470k fans. it is a large platform for all Arabic comic creators, ESS is actually what brought the concept of making comics to the Arab world and it deserves to be recorded (link: http://www.facebook.com/Eg.Sarcasm.Society) The Greatest Director (talk) 06:43, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 21:39, 13 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I have also added a major and valuable reference, from a TED (conference) event http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/4179 The Greatest Director (talk) 04:10, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Here's another credible source from Bassem Youssef (television host) mentioning ESS https://twitter.com/DrBassemYoussef/status/153923447863508992 and an official TED (conference) tweet https://twitter.com/TEDxCairo/status/274899323517558785 The Greatest Director (talk) 05:01, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd just like to point out that self published sources (like own website) or those with no editorial oversight (such as Twitter or Facebook) are not considered reliable sources for establishing notability. Try and find more references that meet the WP:RS criteria. Funny  Pika! 13:19, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

and many other second resources articles on the web. and an interview with a TV channel (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU8x8K2uxwY) you can see the channel on youtube (ONtvLIVE) it's a partner channel. and their wikipedia page is ONTV_(Egypt) sir, it is entirely notable. The Greatest Director (talk) 22:25, 14 April 2013 (UTC) check the upload's channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG8LND41ISI The Greatest Director (talk) 19:48, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Qworty (talk) 05:59, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. BennyHillbilly (talk) 09:10, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * What exactly am I missing here? or what else do I have to do in order to fulfil WP:GNG? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Greatest Director (talk • contribs) 17:10, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. It seems entirely non-notable. Ducknish (talk) 18:55, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * You've got two sources, one from Bassem Youssef (television host) and the other from TED (conference).
 * Delete twitter being a reliable source? is that sarcastic? fails WP:GNG. LibStar (talk) 06:16, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There are tons of other sources to look at, instead of saying, it fails this and that. tell me why YOU think this article should be deleted. as I have provided tons of sources and evidence and I don't know what else is missing, this article have more sources and evidence more than 9gag. and here's another one.
 * the quality and depth of sources do not meet WP:GNG. refer to WP:RS. my delete !vote stands. LibStar (talk) 23:52, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
