Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2017-09-06/WikiProject report

I have not been particularly active on articles related to online video (which would probably be a better name for such a WikiProject imo), primarily because there are no reliable sources that focus specifically on the subject. I really wish there were a good number of sources to work with in this field. The project looks good, anyway, and I think I'm going to follow it :) ~ Mable ( chat ) 08:06, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

I have learnt about the evolution of WikiProject YouTube in the English Wikipedia. Well thanks for writing articles like these that would inspire the viewers including me. Well I accept the fact that it is very difficult to find and access to references and other sources except the YouTube. Abishe (talk) 09:11, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Public Relations / Advertising for YouTube
Why is a single brand featured as a project on Wikipedia and in The Signpost? How much does Google pay (or contributes in other forms) for it? It is simple advertising for Google and YouTube. And that is not allowed on Wikipedia. What about other video platforms? Do you remember our rules? If not - read this: WP:NOTADVERTISING. with best wishes from VINCENZO1492  09:16, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The WikiProject has been nominated for deletion for these reasons. I hope a different solution can be found, however, as online video certainly needs a WikiProject distinct from Internet Culture. ~ Mable ( chat ) 11:42, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
