Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Meow Wars (2nd nomination)

Secondary source
Motherboard (of Vice) published an article on the Meow Wars in 2016. From this I learned the Wikipedia article was deleted (and Wikipedians were quoted in the article!). Now we have at least one secondary source.

Sadly I haven't had luck with Google Books and I haven't seen a secondary source #2... but the existence of the Vice Motherboard article IMO is a big deal. I'm crossing my fingers for source #2 to appear in a few years

I found Source #2

I will ping people in Articles for deletion/Meow Wars (3rd nomination):

 * It's still a single source, but it's certainly a well written and in depth one. If some additional reference material could be found, I think it's a great start, but I'm still always hesitant to advocate basing an article on a single reliable reference.

 * I'm OK with this now. It links another OK source, too. Dicklyon (talk) 22:42, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Which one? I'd like to see it, and use it as source 2. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:45, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * And I think we have another one (from a chapter of the book Dark Net): "The Meowers were infamous gang trolls. In 1997 a group of Harvard students had joined an abandoned Usenet group called alt.fan.karl-malden.nose to post updates about comings and goings on campus.[...]" this is also on a copy on Google Books - Book published by Melville House Publishing - I am now in favor of creation of the article WhisperToMe (talk) 01:03, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I was referring to this one. Dicklyon (talk) 01:14, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The Motherboard article author did interview the author of that page so that one might go to an external links section with a note that the author was referred to in the Motherboard one. Be careful with BLP of course. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:49, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
