The Same Picture of Dave Coulier Every Day

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I tagged this as failing WP:GNG but after some digging decided to go the AfD route. None of the coverage is significant - it's all passing with the exception of an interview of the founder, such as a couple sentence list in the A.V. club, or the use of it as an example in a single article in Austin. The academic source does not mention the blog at all. SportingFlyer  T · C  00:38, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the comments. I have expanded the article with more information and included additional media sources covering the webpage. Additionally, a BBC story that I believe was significant coverage was previously linked via the BBC's YouTube, but I have now updated that link to the BBC's main website to make the source easier to recognize. I do believe the blog meets notability requirements. I have a listed COI though, so I am trying to get this over the line of notoriety with as light of a touch as possible so more neutral parties can expand it in the future.

 * Keep with Manwithcups' additional sources. I think that the Medium article, the Austin Chronicle article and the Daily Dot article are decent sources. One is an interview, the other two feature the blog as the first example and picture for articles about a larger trend. For a silly subject like this, it's clear from this coverage that people in the media noticed it, and found it worthwhile enough to write about, which I think passes notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 15:36, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Medium is self-published and wouldn't count in a notability analysis. The Austin Chronicle is just a passing mention that the blog exists. I'm not familiar with the Daily Dot, but interviews typically don't qualify for notability either at least with regards to people - I'm not 100% sure how to analyse an interview with someone about their blog, for the purposes of determining notability of the blog.

 * Could I ask you to review and consider the referenced BBC Trending story on the subject? Also, not sure if this matters but the Wikipedia article did go through the draft approval process and was approved on May 7 before it was marked for deletion. I did not post it directly to live.

 * I unfortunately cannot access the BBC video on their website, will try and take a look on YouTube. I did check the history and I don't know why it was accepted shortly after a rejection by the same user, without adding anything to the article without filling in references. In any case, it doesn't matter that you didn't post it directly to mainspace, and hopefully it's clear none of this is personal? Also, I'm perfectly happy with a merge as proposed by Devonian Wombat.

 * Yes I understand it is not personal. The Wikipedia guidelines for new posts that are rejected that I read suggest interacting with other editors which is why I am staying engaged. Honestly the whole process has been a little bewildering but interesting. I asked the editor that initially rejected it what other sources were needed and they said on second look they decided to approve it. That conversation on May 7 is here:Manwithcups (talk) 02:29, 11 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Merge to Dave Coulier. Of the three sources identified above, Medium is an unreliable self-published source, the Austin Chronicle is just a passing mention, and while The Daily Dot is generally reliable per WP:RSP, an interview with the founder of a blog about the blog is still pretty clearly a primary source. There is one source that might help, this: by the Toronto Standard, but really I am not sure if that is enough coverage to count towards a pass. However, according to this article:, Coulier himself has actually taken an interest in this, so perhaps creating an "In popular culture" section on his page and adding a sentence or so about this would be good.

 * Merge and redirect to main subject. There is not enough notability about this subject. Field Marshal Aryan (talk) 04:46, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
