@*Treker: Hello, as I said before in my edit summary, those rules also applyto external links. Male beauty standards have nothing to do with a wiki dedicated to pop culture. If there's an issue you can tell me here, I'm willing to hear you out. 2603:7000:1F00:6B91:C895:955B:1CA9:FD41 (talk) 03:11, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I think if any image is to be used at all it should be of Rudolph Valentino since the term was popularized for him, many many men afterwards have been refered to as it, I don't know what the current image ads as far as encyclopedic value.03:57, 9 November 2021 (UTC)★Trekker (talk)
Also the poc culture Wiki-link page is very explicitly about this subject. If you insist it should be done away with then the best would be to remove the whole section since there is no point in having a section named "External links" with no external links.★Trekker (talk) 03:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to go through the process for that then. I’m sure you can just steal the main image on Valentino's article, put it in the history section with a caption like “Image of Rudolph Valentino, who popularized the term” or something. Then recycle a source used in the article.
As for the wiki, it’s really not appropriate for external links or sources since it’s self published, unsourced, unreliable, and decrepit. Most TV Tropes links and sources were added in the mid 2000s or 2010-2012, before a consensus was made I believe. It can only be used in special cases, in which case the subject of the article would have to be media and/or pop culture, which this is not.
IDK why but most articles keep the external links section even when there are no links, since it’s not visible. I’ll fix that now.2603:7000:1F00:6B91:6D91:ADD9:685B:25AF (talk) 06:26, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
