Notability discussion

[edit]

In the creation of this article I realized too late that two of the major sources are likely not considered WP:INDEPENDENT because the host, Abdul-Rehman Malik, has worked for the Toronto Star. The Toronto Star is a subsidiary of Torstar, which is the parent corporation of Toronto.com or the Metroland Media Group. I'm not sure if it increases or decreases the independence and reliability of the Toronto Star article, but I thought I should mention that the article is written by Uzma Jalaluddin; a notable contributing columnist or freelancer rather than a regular employee of Toronto Star. If neither of those sources are independent, that leaves the BroadwayWorld and Wallpaper* articles. The BroadwayWorld article contains a bit of WP:INTERVIEW content, which would be considered a WP:PRIMARY source. However, if the interview content is removed the article still contains well over 300 words of useful information. The Wallpaper* contains fewer than 100 words dedicated to the subject, however, between the BroadwayWorld and Wallpaper* articles the subject still meets the minimum expectations of WP:100WORDS. Currently there are not WP:THREESOURCES, but according to WP:GNG "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected." I would argue that the BroadwayWorld and Wallpaper* articles are an example of two sources with "more than a trivial mention" of the subject and therefore satisfy the requirement that multiple sources are expected. I would also like to note that the podcast was started this year (only half of the season has been released so far) and has not had the time to demonstrate WP:SUSTAINED news coverage, and I would argue--at the risk of claiming WP:ATA#CRYSTAL--that the podcast is very likely to receive further coverage. However, if the podcast is deemed non-notable I'll merge some of the content into Aga Khan Museum. TipsyElephant (talk) 15:11, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, thanks for your help with looking more closely into the sources. I just quickly skimmed though to make sure he was actually in there, not just a trivial mention. Clearfrienda 💬 21:10, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Episode Summaries

[edit]

Episode summaries should be fairly easy to write and provide references for because full transcripts are provided on the official website. I'll go through and save each of the pdf files on the wayback machine in case anyone would like to read or cite the transcripts at a later date. TipsyElephant (talk) 15:41, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
