WikiProject banners

[edit]

Hi there. Could you place project banners on the talk page, not on the article itself? Thanks, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! There are actually two reasons for that revert. First, disambiguation pages, being purely navigational (not informational) constructs, are subject to a number of rather rigid criteria, which you can familiarize yourself with here. One of those criteria is WP:DABRL, which states that a red-linked entry can be included on a disambig page if and only if the following two conditions are met:

  • the description of the entry contains a blue link, and an article at that link explicitly mentions that entry in the text;
  • the red link has at least one incoming backlink pointing to it.

Neither of these two conditions was met for the podcaster entry you added.

Another issue is notability. Based on what I was able to find, and now also on the information you supplied above, I do not believe this person passes the notability test. How many people tune in to listen to his podcast is not really relevant here; what matters is whether this person received significant coverage in reliable third-party sources independent of the subject matter.

I admit I might be wrong about the notability bit—you, after all, seem to know about this person a lot more than I ever would want to, so if you believe that his notability is easy to establish, you are welcome to create a (referenced) article and to see it through if someone nominates it for deletion because of the notability concerns. Once the article is in place, there is no problem with re-adding a link to it to the disambiguation page as well, because the disambig constraints are only of technical, not editorial, nature. Hope this helps. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:18, July 15, 2009 (UTC)
