Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Animation/Archive 3

I'm noticing a lot of these from Golden Age of American animation studios. E.g. I have turned many Tom and Jerry shorts into redirects that have no assertion of notability and in many cases, either no sources at all or only a single unreliable source. I recommend users here take a look at some American animation shorts articles to see how widespread this problem is. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:50, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm bringing this up to community attention again as I am finding a lot of entirely unsourced or trivially-sourced (i.e. a passing reference that only establishes they exist, not notability). I am redirecting these to appropriate targets. I'll go thru other shorts (e.g. Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies) following this. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:38, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Virtually all of the Tom and Jerry shorts were not appropriate for a full article. I'm seeing the same thing with Betty Boop and Woody Woodpecker. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:57, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Redirects to a list of shorts is completely fair. The reason they probably exist as there are a number of standalone Looney Tunes shorts, but when we're talking works like "What's Opera, Doc" and "The Rabbit of Seville", they have clear notability. Unfortunately while Tom and Jerry and other cartoons also made that Golden Age of Animation, their individual shorts were nowhere close to this. So redirecting is a fair enough option. --Masem (t) 21:01, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

@7&6=thirteen: @Visokor: See above. You have had a month to source these articles and have refused (in addition to the years or decade-plus that they have exited here). We cannot have original research, so we must show reliable sources that prove notability. These fundamental policies apply to all articles, even ones about cartoon shorts. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:01, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

@SonicClub: See above. We cannot have these unsourced articles. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

• Note: Koavf, has linked me to this thread from my talk page. @Visokor:, User:Koavf indeed has a valid point here. Articles on wikipedia must be able to pass our notability criteria. WP:NFILM for example or, even WP:GNG. If you disagree with User:Koavf and would want the article to stay then find reliable source that can establish the notability criteria and restore the article back from WP:PAGEHISTORY. There is absolutely no time limit to do this revert and you can do it whenever you get time, but please remember that the sources must be WP:RS and independent of the subject. Koavf if you find that Visikor has reverted or undone your redirect without adding sources that can establish the notability, then the only option left for you will be to take it to WP:AFD asking for a redirect and let the community decide. regards. --DBigXrayᗙ 11:01, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

  DBigXray, I don't think the articles should be deleted--they are valid redirects. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:43, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

• Yes, but if an editor believes that the article should be redirected and another disagrees, they should discuss it on the talk page and decide. If they are not able to come to a consensus, then the editor who believes the article should be redirected should take it to AfD for a discussion among the wider community with a "proposal to redirect". The community will then help to judge the notability and decide on it. There is no point in edit warring to add and revert a redirect. --DBigXrayᗙ 17:57, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

  DBigXray, WP:AFD is for deletion, not redirection. Redirect can be an outcome but that's not the purpose of the page, nor what I am proposing. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:07, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

  From my talk:

  I think a reply from me is warranted here, since I am (peripherally) involved in this: I don't see how claims that lack sources are of use to anyone who reads or edits Wikipedia. Content should be verified with reliable sources. Articles about fictional works should also have source-verified content that demonstrates notability—that is, descriptions of backgrounds and critic reviews of the works (articles about The Simpsons episodes are a good example of this); not just a plot summary, otherwise we're just left with an indiscriminate collection of information. Conversely, the Hanna–Barbera Tom and Jerry cartoons were made decades ago, long before computers even existed, so sources that might make these cartoons eligible for stand-alone articles might not be so easily accessible through internet searching—such sources may only be found in old newspapers which aren't stored digitally. Redirecting unreferenced articles for which sources can't be found easily seems to me to be reasonable (as long as their titles are plausible search terms), as the good-faith edits to the articles are preserved under the redirects instead of just being completely deleted, and the redirection can (but shouldn't necessarily) be reversed at any time. By the way, I have filed a full-protection request for The Midnight Snack as this edit war is getting out of hand. Linguist111^{my talk page} 03:46, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

  Just another two cents. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:12, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

• User:Masem what is your opinion, on how to proceed when 2 editors disagree if the article should be redirected or kept. IMHO an AfD is the best place to decide on the notability in such cases. --DBigXrayᗙ 05:36, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

AFD would be the wrong place to take what everyone knows at worst will end up as a redirect. AFD should only be used when the initial goal is deletion. In this case, since there is a desire to redirect and nothing worse, then the best solution is to start an RFC on some reasonable page so that it gets picked up by the RFC. (You'd probably want to at minimum ping the Television wikiproject, they have had to deal with the same aspects here). --Masem (t) 05:52, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

@Masem: That's not the current consensus on redirects at AfD. See WP:ATD-R, WP:BLAR, and Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Archive 71#"AFD is not for redirecting"?. – Joe (talk) 07:18, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Joe Roe, The second sentence at WP:AFD says (emphasis added): "For problems that do not require deletion, including duplicate articles, articles needing improvement, pages needing redirects, or POV problems, be bold and fix the problem or tag the article appropriately." I read this as beings needing to be redirected. It's disappointing to me to see you adding unsourced information to our encyclopedia: I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative "I heard it somewhere" pseudo information is to be tagged with a "needs a cite" tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons. – Jimbo Wales, 16 May 2006 ^[1] Why do you think that adding back unsourced information is acceptable? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:36, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

@Koavf: 13 year old quotes from Jimbo are not policy. I was involved in the discussions about redirects at AfD and actually agreed with you, but nevertheless that wasn't the consensus. In any case it doesn't matter. Discuss at AfD or discuss on a talk page. The important thing is that you discuss; edit warring is unacceptable. I'll say more on your talk page in a minute. – Joe (talk) 07:41, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Joe Roe, "13 year old quotes from Jimbo are not policy"... ? WP:OR, WP:V, WP:NOTABLE, WP:RELIABLE, WP:SOURCE. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:05, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

I see that the case where "when a redirect has been challenged" has been specifically added as an allowed AFD (there has long been a stance that AFD is *not* "articles for discussion" meaning you should bring non-admin actions like merges and redirects should not be covered at AFD). As that now is explicitly allowed, and there is clearly a dispute over the redirecting, then I would recommend AFDing a few - like 3 to 5 - of these shorts to get larger consensus , on the basis that really for redirecting them all but doesn't make sense to make that massive a nom at one time. --Masem (t) 14:35, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

User:Masem Glad to know that you agree now. I stand vindicated. I dont suggest bulk AfDs here. let each article have its own discussion. --DBigXrayᗙ 06:50, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

I hate to admit it, but this entire conversation has become way too technical for me to fully understand. You guys are talking about the possibility of garnering discussion of certain individual Looney Tunes/Tom & Jerry cartoon articles about their notability on WP. As I see it, no article should exist on WP without reliable sources. As one pointed out, these types of sources were more scarce when these cartoons were created, which took place decades before the Internet as we know it came about. I would be completely for converting appropriate articles into redirects for those that have questionable sources (i.e. only mentioning the source material in passing, or at all). All of these cartoons do exist, but existence and popularity do not necessarily equate to notability. If an editor wishes to redirect an article with inadequate sources to a more appropriate page, such as a list of Tom & Jerry cartoons, then so be it. No deletion or AFD should have to take place. If a single cartoon reel is not notable enough to be its own article, its title should become a redirect to a relevant list. That's all there is to it.

Hi all, I've boldly updated your project's peer review page (Wikipedia:WikiProject Animation/Peer review) by updating the instructions and archiving old reviews.

The new instructions use Wikipedia's general peer review process (WP:PR) to list peer reviews. Your project's reviews are still able to be listed on your local page too.

The benefits of this change is that review requests will get seen by a wider audience and are likely to be attended to in a more timely way (many WikiProject peer reviews remain unanswered after years). The Wikipedia peer review process is also more maintained than most WikiProjects, and this may help save time for your active members.

I've done this boldly as it seems your peer review page is pretty inactive and I am working through around 90 such similar peer review pages. Please feel free to discuss below - please ping me ({{u|Tom (LT)}}) in your response.

Cheers and hope you are well, Tom (LT) (talk) 00:23, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Excerpt:"The son of pastor Douglas Wilson of the controversial Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, and a close associate have made significant inroads into mainstream culture in America with a successful streaming cartoon based on a book published by the church’s own imprint.

The Guardian has previously reported on how the church, which aims to create a theocracy in the US, has increased its power and influence in its home town, while also campaigning vociferously against efforts to curb the coronavirus pandemic. Those developments come amid a broader rise in the right wing across the US. At the same time Christ church is seeking to use television and book publishing to enter US popular culture and promote its interests." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/28/christ-church-us-christian-right-group-books-cartoon-nature-doc

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Randy and Sharon Marsh#Requested move 24 March 2023 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. ❯❯❯ Raydann^(Talk) 10:25, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project decides to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Hello, I will try to keep everything short, I am an editor and my question is about my dispute with the editor "Andrzejbanas" about The Super Mario Bros. movie. in the paragraph about countries, the USA and only it are indicated. This is where our discussion began. Because at first I wrote that Japan also took part in addition to the USA (because the film was also made by Nintendo, which is a Japanese company), to which this editor did not agree and asked me for proof, then I threw him this https://eiga.com /news/20230418/13/ and wrote about the phrase here's the translation of the phrase "This work produced jointly by Illumination and Nintendo." To which another editor came and replied that "You're right, but I think we should discuss on talk page about Nintendo being Japanese company." Which really surprised me because Shigeru Miyamoto is listed as the producer and he is the head of Nintendo (Japanese) and the head of the American Doug Bowser who is not listed at all (I also understand that nationality does not play a role and that in the conditional Japanese Nintendo there may be non-Japanese as well as vice versa, but this is not the case here.) (I also understand that nationality does not play a role and that in the conditional Japanese Nintendo there may be non-Japanese as well as vice versa, but this is not the case here.) But okay, let's go with that. Later, I sent sources where Japan is indicated or that Japan has a part in the creation by dropping the link https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Super-Mario-Bros-Movie-The-(2022)#tab=summary To which, after my source, he replied "The-Numbers pulls it's information from IMDb, which we don't use as a source per WP" well, I agreed with the rules of Wikipedia, but I also sent him an interview https://www.bloomberg. com/news/newsletters/2023-04-09/super-mario-bros-producer-explains-the-movie-s-box-office-success and this https://variety.com/2023/film/features/super -mario-bros-movie-shigeru-miyamoto-interview-1235572488/ where Japan is mentioned and it is said about communion with creation.To which he also disagrees, I want to ask a question, the source that this editor requires (I really don’t understand how much more sources he needs to confirm), but let’s say I’m wrong here and maybe Japan is not related, but based on his requirements, why then the USA is indicated with a source that says nothing at all about the USA and is even worse and not more accurate than mine (because there, in general, about the countries where they did it were not indicated in the source to the United States, only companies), while when I threw him the same about Japan, he did not agree, and even with the sources where it is nevertheless indicated or said.Therefore, I would like to know which of us is still right here and whether I have the right to enter Japan into the countries of the filmmakers? I understand that such sources https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Super-Mario-Bros-Movie-The-(2022)#tab=summary are not considered accurate by Wikipedia, but in this case based on the sites above sources to the United States are also without any evidence, he does not mind indicating although there is also a source where there is no evidence, but he does not agree with Japan. Maybe I'm wrong here, but why then is the source in the USA also without any evidence and is this normally considered for him? It just seems to me that everything is unfair (his arguments) I'm asking for your opinion on this situation and I'm not saying that I'm extremely right or anything, but this situation is extremely strange for me and it seems like the other editor does not want to listen to the other side at all and is hypocritical in some way. Because I'm already afraid to say something there, because LancedSoul threatens me with punishment. Xaskithe (talk) 22:58, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

It's just that it's very strange that my sources for this editor seem "insufficient" but at the same time he does not see problems in the source attached to the United States (which confirms nothing at all and even less confirms than mine.) In that case, why is it written? After all, this is also an "insufficient source" that does not confirm anything, but simply names the companies who made the film (the same absolutely similar source that I attached to Japan, but which this editor described as "Insufficient") But it's absolutely the same "Insufficient" in the opinion it is also attached to the USA. Xaskithe (talk) 23:32, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

I will also add that I am not the only editor with such a problem, after me and before there were also many editors who had a dispute about this with Andrzejbanas and he neither gave me nor them anything really confirming why no one can add Japan to the countries of the filmmakers.

I found one of the actors in an animation Mukpuddy produced were nominated for a BTVA award, but can not find anything useful about BTVA. Is this an insignificant award?

I have noticed on pages devoted to years in animation such as 2020 in animation, for the birth or death years, there are entries for famous people whose voice contributions consist of only one or two animated episodes. It seems to be usually guest voices on episodes of The Simpsons.

Examples from 2020 in animation (although issue is on multiple pages from multiple years):

January 2: John Baldessari, American conceptual artist (voiced himself in The Simpsons episode "3 Scenes Plus a Tag from a Marriage"), dies at age 88.

February 5: Kirk Douglas, American actor (voice of Chester J. Lampwick in The Simpsons episode "The Day the Violence Died"), dies at age 103

March 2: James Lipton, American writer, lyricist and actor (voice of The Director in Bolt, voiced himself in The Simpsons episodes "The Sweetest Apu" and "Homer the Father"), dies from bladder cancer at age 93

March 8: Max von Sydow, Swedish-French actor (voice of Klaus Ziegler in The Simpsons episode "The Art of War"), dies at age 90

Under WP:NOTEVERYTHING, I do not think that birth or death dates for voice contributions of only one or two animated episodes is enough for birth and death dates to be included on these pages. I am seeking input from others. Kaltenmeyer (talk) 19:13, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

The article Busytown is being considered for deletion.

These are the first sentences from the article:

• "Busytown is a fictional town depicted in several books by American children's author Richard Scarry. Busytown is inhabited by an assortment of anthropomorphic animals, including Huckle Cat, Lowly Worm, Mr. Frumble, police Sergeant Murphy, Mr. Fixit, Bananas Gorilla and Hilda Hippo.

• "Busytown also refers to the media franchise that spawned from Scarry's books. From 1989 to 1994, Random House Home Video and Jumbo Pictures produced the first basic educational learning animated series called Richard Scarry's Best Videos Ever! on home video. In the early 1990s, Cinar produced the animated series The Busy World of Richard Scarry, featuring the inhabitants of Busytown. The series originally aired on Showtime in the United States. A board game and a computer game based on Busytown were also produced in the 1990s. Another animated series centered on Busytown, Busytown Mysteries, ran in the late 2000s."
