The result was merge to PLOS. It's a stretch to say there's an actual consensus to merge, but it was mentioned a couple of times and WP:ATD argues for it. This should be a limited merge, just enough to give a redirect some reasonable context. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:04, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm not seeing much WP:GNG or WP:WEBCRIT for this podcast, as it is very specific to PLOS and has not been reviewed outside of the PLOScast blog. News articles listed are primarily announcements of academic guests on the podcast. Recommend redirect to PLOS, the company that makes the podcasts, and make it a section. The specific titles for the episodes are not needed either. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 21:06, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

 * keep So "very specific" applies to ORCID, but not (as ever) to DC and Marvel? We have the most trivial of podcasts and vlogs covered, but if they're on a serious topic, then they're 'too specific'? Andy Dingley (talk) 21:26, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * What I meant is that the sources provided are affiliated with the PLOS organization. Any organization can put out podcasts, so what makes this one generally notable that it needs a fully detailed episode list? I'm trying to figure out how it is more notable that Jay_Mohr or Pat Monahan's Patcast, both of which get mentions from their guests. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 21:54, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. No significant coverage in independent sources. Not even sure it merits a mention in PLOS.--Pontificalibus (talk) 18:47, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete or merge. I don't see any evidence of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. It seems reasonable to have a paragraph or so at PLOS though.  Gnome de plume (talk) 13:50, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not seeing significant independent coverage. PLOS itself is notable, but that is not an argument PLOScast is by default either. Kingofaces43 (talk) 04:33, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
