List of Welsh Government COVID-19 press conference videos

 * – ( View AfD View log )

As I stated on the article's talk page (I'll add a bit here): My concern is that these governmental press conferences don't warrant a list article, unless they have a significant impact or are more notable than just having update posts from BBC and one article from WalesOnline. As I said in the talk page, governments do conferences and howto videos all the time. This article has no other context, such as the makings of the videos, background, or controversies, etc., but merely packed with WP:HOWTO videos. The synopsis is also non-neutral, also having self-references like "we" and "I." I just don't see the need for this list. Information vital for understanding the pandemic in Wales can just be included in the Wales article. As I said again on the talk page, compilations of media are allowed by making a category on Wikimedia Commons.  Gerald WL  12:07, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTLINKFARM. postdlf (talk) 16:07, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as not encyclopedic information. We can organize these through a category on Wikimedia Commons. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 08:47, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above Spiderone  20:58, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Totally agree with points above. Not every press conference by an administration is notable and this is not something you would ever expect to find in an encyclopedic work. There are better homes for these videos than Wikipedia. Dunarc (talk) 21:58, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not meant to be a directory of links to videos. I have never seen such a blatant violation of what Wikipedia is not in this regard.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:00, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Apologies that I have evidently put up material that is considered inappropriate to Wikipedia. I saw it as complementary to the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales article, providing summary information about each video thus potentially sparing time and effort for the trusting reader who'd rather not sit through a whole broadcast, and sparing the C-19/Wales article from potential bloat. I still consider this list together with its informal summaries a valuable resource, and will attempt, as some have suggested, to move it onto Wikimedia.

 * Delete Fails WP:LISTN. Accesscrawl (talk) 03:48, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as fails WP:LISTN. If not already mentioned in something like COVID-19 pandemic in Wales then we can add a sentence or two about the videos being made available because of a request from Wikimedia UK, but these videos definitely shouldn't have their own standalone article.

 * Comment: Also the person who wrote the article appears not to understand that the Senedd and Welsh Government are two separate entities, describing it as the "Senedd of the Welsh Government". This is Paul (talk) 19:56, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
