Jake and Amir

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

no reliable sources are available to attest to the notability of jake and amir. i posted on the talk page 2 weeks ago asking if anyone could provide reliable sources, and none were added. the only response was an affirmation that this article should be AfD'd. the article right now just seems to serve as a vanity page for jake and amir, and a magnet for lame vandalism Theserialcomma (talk) 01:24, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Please refer to http://www.JakeandAmir.com, http://www.facebook.com/jakeandamir, and http://www.bustedtees.com/jakeandamir for required "notability" of Jake and Amir. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.203.11 (talk) 03:56, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, mostly for lack of notability via reliable sources as well as this is not your own webhost, as noted on their website, which says "Learn more on Wikipedia." MuZemike  ( talk ) 12:04, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per the article's section titled Media coverage. Arid Zkwelty (talk) 12:22, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No reliable sources, and they seem to be using the Wikipedia article for promotion, as indicated by the official web site. Wikipedia is not a blog, nor is it a web host to keep material like this.  C h a m a l  talk 12:54, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only third-party sources provided (the Wired article and the scans of Cosmopolitan and US Weekly) only give a few lines on the topic, all basic information. This hardly establishes notability. It would be a different story if one of those sources featured a detailed interview. As it is, though, it's not enough. Also agree with MuZemike and Chamal_N on the treatment of Wikipedia as a webhost. There's no reason why they can't publish "more information" on their own site.

 * Delete per User:Phlyght. The media coverage is by Wikipedia standards trivial. There's no indepth information. An interview or a listing that shows an award from any of these publications would be another story. - Mgm|(talk) 14:39, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be substantial coverage and recognition and involvement in web awards and web comedy community. Good news search ChildofMidnight (talk) 15:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the main CollegeHumor article.  Graymornings (talk) 21:25, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Videos avg near 100k views each, Show started ind. of college humor, the videos themselves can be used as reference, media coverage, web awards, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.168.154 (talk) 08:13, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: the videos themselves don't qualify as reliable references for their WP:N or WP:Verifiability
 * Keep Jake and Amir have been interviewed multiple times on various programs that cover pop culture, including, most notably, Yahoo's "The 9" by Maria Sansone, who herself is a public figure. Also of note is the fact that CollegeHumor was recently given a timeslot on MTV.
 * Keep JakeandAmir are a pair of comedians. This wiki entry assists in detailing the history of their career, and their development from the beginning. It also allows people to understand the recurring themes in the videos, without having to watch all of the videos to find the meaning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.70.118.86 (talk) 17:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Textbook example of what "trivial" coverage means. Protonk (talk) 22:16, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect and smerge to CollegeHumor seems like a reasonable compromise. They're really notable on their own but are probably worth a mention.  Eluchil404 (talk) 22:03, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
