WATCH Disney XD

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed by article creator. Don't see the claim of notability, and I'm not sure every single thing that Disney does is automatically notable unless there is sufficient coverage by sources. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124; WER  23:12, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

It's covered online in groups of shows and episodes but doesn't have an article to use online as a guide and where people can read up on more on demand episodes. The shows change every day on the app and when they change, I'll edit the article so people have a guide on episode watching on Disney XD on demand and on WATCH Disney XD. The episodes change at the URLs I used for my sources that I used to make the guide so the sources pretty much cover everything there.- Devileyes89 (talk) 23:22, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom - Poorly written and Poorly sourced, - →Davey 2010→ →Talk to me!→  23:36, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Oh, do you mean I need to have snapshots or other media and have like 90 billion sources or something? - Devileyes89 (talk) 23:38, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Wasn't trying to promote Disney or do any self promotion (I'm not affiliated with Disney), I was trying to give a list of episodes that are on demand. - Devileyes89 (talk) 23:41, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
 * And we do not allow lists of programs that are on demand to be stand alone article. That is what I linked above, the policy that says that. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124; WER  23:41, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

If this debate doesn't work, I will put this article on Wikia, never make you admin on my wiki, and protect the article so you can't request deletion. - Devileyes89 (talk) 23:47, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Can you give me time to remove the On Demand related stuff and try to put the more reliable stuff? - Devileyes89 (talk) 23:51, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
 * AFD runs for 7 days. If you add sources that show notability according to the policy here, I will be happy to change my !vote, even though you won't make me admin on your wikia :) My adding it here isn't personal, it is just me trying to do my job as an editor. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124;  WER  00:22, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

If this doesn't work, I'll still thank you for letting me keep it here for a week. Also, please check my newer versions of the page from time to time - Devileyes89 (talk) 00:38, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:ADVERT, WP:NOTTVGUIDE, we already have the short paragraph the service already has in Disney XD, and this is completely duplicative no matter how many sources are added because it's the online version of a mainstream cable channel; also delete the wrongly-licensed logos in the article as COPYVIOs. I'd argue for a redirect to Disney XD, but I fear it'll just be recreated straight off unless it's semi-protected. And Devileyes89, 'letting me keep it here for a week' is not the thing to say at all; this is an advertisement for the service that doesn't belong here, and in that case I'd have to argue for speedy deletion if you intend to evade the AfD process.

 * Please stop adding images now, Devileyes89. One image is enough, but this is unacceptable in any way.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 03:01, 16 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Not a big fan of "per" !votes, but in this case Nate really has covered everything that needed to be said. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:34, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom -- Amaryllis Gardener talk 12:33, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

I have the TV providers listed and the requirements and compatibility for the software. It even says Disney XD appears to be written like an advertisement and to what the WATCH Disney XD article says, it appears to be less of an advertisement than how much of an advertisement Disney XD "appears" to have which I can't believe Disney XD is still up on Wikipedia. Also, the WATCH Disney XD article is an extended version of the Other Services section on the Disney XD page. I removed a lot of advertisement from my WATCH Disney XD article. - Devileyes89 (talk) 15:50, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The point is though, it doesn't need to be elaborated on in an article. Anyone reading the main Disney XD article and seeing the section about "Watch" knows it features the live feed of the channel and on demand content online. Common outcomes in the past have show that the online and on-demand services of cable channels and broadcast networks don't usually merit articles, but only small mentions in their main article.

 * - Apologies for removing your post, IMO I thought it was irrelevant but seems it wasn't, Perhaps I was a little harsh removing it. - →Davey 2010→ →Talk to me!→  17:22, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

I added more sections to try to make it not seem like it's the same information that Disney XD covers. The stuff that is not mentioned in Disney XD is that it's on Apple TV, the providers users can connect to, it requiring a US based connection, it being available in Asia, requiring a 3G/4G connection, the fact that episodes expire, certain episodes being free, certain episodes requiring a TV provider, and it's compatibility on other services with all information having REF tags (sources), and not violating the directory guideline and not violating some other guidelines I know of. - Devileyes89 (talk) 00:56, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

I was just surprised that information on this subject was not on Wikipedia. That's why I created the article and I edited it to make sure it meets the guidelines. No, it's not a TV guide anymore. It does provide sources to reliable material. Yes, the app is well known and is eligible to appear on Wikipedia. I don't know why everything about apps MUST be about FAMOUS apps. It's just not fair but the app is "well known" just like Wikipedia's policies say. - Devileyes89 (talk) 19:51, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
