Subtle asian traits

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Just a facebook group which becomes famous by doing memes on facebook and got article into nytimes and bbc. Article seems like an advertisement. Point out your views.  AD  Talk 19:20, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article about a Facebook group? I assumed this would be an easy candidate for deletion, probably sourced to slim blurbs or bare interviews. I was wrong. Both the NYT and BBC provided feature-length treatments with background, context, and analysis. Not good enough? The Atlantic. The New Yorker. NBC. Slate. The Daily Dot. Probably more, I stopped looking. Is it silly, and a little weird, for a Facebook group to get that sort of coverage? Sure. But that isn't a policy based cause for deletion, and I don't see anything else that would be. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:13, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep I completely agree with Squeamish Ossifrage - I fully expected to suggest deletion prior to digging into the references. It easily meets the WP:WEBCRIT requirement of "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself."

 * Comment If this discussion ends with a "keep" determination, the article should probably be moved to "Subtle Asian Traits" (capitalized as it is a title). I don't want to move it now, as I don't know if that will cause an issue with this discussion? Jmertel23 (talk) 13:23, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Entirely agreed. Page moves during an AFD are technically permitted, but sometimes cause drama, so I assumed the move could wait until discussion was complete (and assuming it survives this process). Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:31, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep what an interesting set of reads. GNG & WEB both more than satisfied. Move obviously legitimate post-AfD close. Nosebagbear (talk) 16:27, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Easily passes GNG. Plenty of IRS for WP:NEXIST.  Not at all sure if any WP:BEFORE was done.  Aoziwe (talk) 12:07, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep While a stub. it has plenty of mention in secondary sources to be notable. Wikiman5676 (talk) 04:49, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
