I Love the World

made on behalf of 2603:8001:4542:28FB:64C1:4968:5AAA:4086/64 (see wikipedia:help desk#I Love the World); no comments on the merit of the request. this is their rationale:

The current sources for this article utterly fail GNG:

the first is a press release and therefore non-independent;

the second and third don't relate to the commercial at all;

the fourth is a self-published YouTube video and is thus non-independent;

the fifth is an entry in a database which provides no critical analysis whatsoever, and also has been dead for six years; and

the sixth is a primary source.

I did some looking online but failed to find any reliable, independent, non-blog articles actually discussing this in-depth. Yes, there's an xkcd comic referencing this, but any sources for that will be focused on the comic as opposed to the commercial. The article also mentions that it won the silver award at the London International Awards, so maybe it could in theory meet WP:WEBCRIT#2, but I also couldn't find any reliable, independent, non-blog sources mentioning that either--and given how much the London International Awards article smacks of promotion (it had over 25 references to its own website or to press releases, not including inline external links, before I cut them out), I'm not exactly sure that's even the "world's leading award show" it claims to be (because hey, I could find barely any sources about that awards show either!).

Delete Oh man, this takes me back. The campaign was famous at the time but I couldn't find anything recent on it, and since the contents of this article have already been copied over to the Discovery Fandom wiki, we wouldn't lose anything by deleting this page.

Delete: Clearly fails GNG. London International Awards needs to be deleted as well, blatant WP:PROMO and zero GNG passing sources. Macktheknifeau (talk) 17:47, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
