Animated web series not covered by independent reliable sources. Fails GNG, and NFILM. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion, not a directory, and not a website for indiscriminate coverage. I tried to re-establish a redirect [[1] but it was reverted and no reliable sources were added after a number of edits by the reverting editor ([2], [3], [4]). The series has not received full-length reviews by nationally known critics, is not historically notable, has not recieved any major awards, and has not been taught at colleges or universities, and so on. The article itself is merely routine information as if this were a TV Guide for the web. -- Steve Quinn (talk) 02:59, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep It doesnt matter if it has full-length reviews. its made by Rooster Teeth and it deserves its own page. Crazybob2014 (talk) 14:04, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. Actually, @Crazybob2014: significant coverage in reliable sources matters a lot. Being made by a notable company doesn't make this topic notable -- notability is not inherited (if it worked that way, we'd have an awful lot of very trivial articles -- look how many shows Rooster Teeth has made). Camp Camp fails to meet the general notability guideline. I did a bit of searching, and I couldn't find a single article that I would call "significant coverage in a reliable source". I did find a few instances of reliable sources covering Camp Camp (Entertainment Weekly, Mashable, TubeFilter, Animation World Network), but it was all trivial coverage -- most of them were just a few short paragraphs to accompany a trailer. --IagoQnsi (talk) 00:22, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

- Delete for failing the basic notability guideline WP:GNG, no WP:SIGCOV and the invalid reason for creating it. Per author own admission (above) it was created not because it is notable per se, but because the author thinks since
"its made by Rooster Teeth [it must have] its own page"
. Ammarpad (talk) 16:15, 29 October 2017 (UTC) - Delete. No significant coverage from independent reliable sources. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 21:31, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep as I believe one of the bases to delete this page to be slightly misguided. I do not believe WP:NFILM policies to be relevant to this web series media– "significant coverage" is not needed for web content, unlike it is for films. Granted, WP:INHERITWEB also concurs that although it is created by a notable company, it is not inherently notable because of it. However, IagoQnsi has compiled a list of other sources that although has been dismissed as trivial, I would argue is notable (enough to satisfy this requirement, at least) as the contents are of sizable length, solely discusses the material in question, and
offers information that cannot be gathered through the accompanying trailer(I must amend this. The detail offered may come from a press release.)– it is not just a passing mention and does not need continuing coverage.
Concerning WP:WEB (as opposed to NFILM), it is stated that "when evaluating the notability of web content, please consider whether it has had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture." I am unsure to what extent this means, but at the very least– this web content has often been topic of discussion on the Tumblr platform. I don't know if that is of any relevance to this debate, or to WP:WEB, but I figured I'd offer up that information. — SystematicAnarchy ( t • c ) 23:23, 30 October 2017 (UTC)- — SystematicAnarchy (talk • contribs) has made only one edit on their userpage outside this topic.
- Delete - notability is required - please see WP:GNG - and this doesn't make the grade by quite a long way. Velella Velella Talk 23:34, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete GNG fail, and no SNGs brought forth to save it. I would agree with SystematicAnarchy except I want some more news articles to satisfy the GNG for me. Thanks, L3X1 (distænt write) 01:58, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
