List of Socialist Flash Animation

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I originally speedy deleted the page since it consists solely of redlinks and external links. The creator answered with this nice message and recreated the list. So I think it would be good for everybody to chime in here. The list of course is completely inappropriate. It's a random collection of information, the criteria for membership in the list is subjective (who's to say that a flash animation is socialist?), it's not a subject of encyclopedic value, the content of the article is original research which cannot be properly attributed to a reliable third-party source and the article is a collection of internal redlinks and external links. As such it miserably fails to meet the criteria outlined in WP:LIST. Pascal.Tesson 16:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Nothing is based on my opinion, the support for socialism is derived by the flash authors introduction as you might have noticed. It has nothing to do with my opinion RedStar1987
 * Strong Delete Entire classification is based upon Authors personal opinion and the links are all external, adding nothing to wikipedia. -- Jimmi Hugh 16:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete 'Wikipedia is not a collection of external links' pretty much says it all; there are so few notable flash animations, much less socialist ones, that this list wouldn't be worthwhile. Veinor (talk to me) 16:36, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

-The support for socialism is derived by the flash authors introduction as you might have noticed. (Read their intros, or the message in their flash) It has nothing to do with my opinion

- Also, I'd like to point out that it isn't a collection of external websites neither. It is a collection of flash, I wouldn't call 2 servers in the references section as a "collection". No one would

 * Delete as a pair of external links, since as RedStar1987 points out, there's not even enough here to truly call it a collection. fuzzy510 19:09, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete but if there is information about this sub-genre an article might conceivably be possible.DGG 22:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You mean like a New York Times article about the sub-genre of socialist flash animations? I'm sure it would be easier to find articles about socialist origami. :-) Pascal.Tesson 22:20, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * no, like something in either one of the left periodicals, print or online or in places writing about animation. I agree that the NYT is not much interested in either. There is more than 1 publication that is a RS. DGG 00:42, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah come on, I was just kidding. But I still think that it's highly improbable that any source, even an obscure one, would really have any substantial commentary to make on socialist flash animations. Pascal.Tesson 05:34, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete- Just a list that sites non-notable cartoons that support socialism clearly deserves to be deleted ChrisLamb 00:34, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete Non-notable. Almost all of the Wiki links are red (non-existent). Hu 01:59, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment Why don't you like a collection? If there is a collection on "Fictional Presidents of USA", why shouldn't there be a collection of flash?

It's hard to find sources about flash in general, so I say, check what's written there, add more information, if something is wrong, change it and make it right. What I expect is improvemement.

By the way, the collection will grow, the same way as "The list of socialist countries" grew, which has been deleted in the beginnings of its existance. Those who delete relevant articles should spend more time creating than destroying. They should think more. Not only about whether THEY need the information, but whether someone else might need it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_socialist_countries Redstar1987


 * Comment Countries are slightly more notable than the occasionaly viewed Flash animation which may or may not have Socialist connotations. -- Jimmi Hugh 19:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
