YouthCast

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The sourcee are mainly from youtube and spotify. No significant coverage from reliable or any independent sources. Fails GNG Pillechan  (പിള്ളേച്ചനോട് പറ)  05:15, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - YouTube and Spotify are only referenced as the source material. Coverage from both NewsMobile and the New York Times, both of which are reliable and independent sources of news. Passes GNG User:Zuko1050 05:36, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - While the user who proposed this article for deletion raises valid points with regards to the article, I am inclined to believe it should not be deleted. the article references NewsMobile and the New York Times, both reliable sources - a quick google search reveals that NewsMobile in fact runs a fact checking division as well. Yes, the use of Spotify and YouTube is not ideal but is still justified given that the article is about a podcast. A problem I did see was that the articles external link section contained social links which I have since deleted, but the rest seems fine to me. Should not be deleted.

 * Comment:This is the source from NY Times that users  and  mentioned here. But this is just a routine coverage announcing the winners of a contest. It does not talk about YouthCast at all... Pillechan   (പിള്ളേച്ചനോട് പറ)  14:36, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - I've heard of it, but it has very little coverage in media or social media. Bearian (talk) 19:28, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Previously mentioned New York Times reference doesn't even mention the subject. Lacks reliable sourcing to demonstrate notability Dexxtrall (talk) 11:05, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete does not pass WP:GNG. The award is a trivial mention of a specific episode without even mentioning the podcast itself. The award could maybe qualify the episode for WP:WEBCRIT, but that's quite a stretch. TipsyElephant (talk) 16:19, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, does not pass WP:GNG and seems self-promotional in nature. Paragon Deku (talk) 04:17, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Barely found anything about the podcast. Search results return a handful of passing mentions, including the NYT article indicated above. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 10:00, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Revert to Draft - (Not a second vote but rather a suggestion based on the comments of other users) In light of the concerns other users have expressed about the article, reverting it to draft status would be appropriate. Rather than delete it entirely, it would be better to convert it to a draft so it may be worked upon and reuploaded once it sufficiently meets GNG guidelines. As user Bearian mentioned above, he has heard of the podcast and the podcast has won a NY Times award for one of their episodes so it is is not obscure, but perhaps does to meet GNG guidelines just yet. Reverting it to a draft seems like the best option rather than a deletion.  User:Zuko1050 14:05, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. In the absence of reliable, secondary sources to apply, there is nothing to incubate if moved to draftspace. czar  18:15, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails the WP:GNG. NYT source had zero hits when searching for the word "Youthcast" so I'm not sure what's going on there... Sergecross73   msg me  19:33, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
