Luxury Escapes appears to have been hijacked in the past to completely remove all mention that it was a TV show, and to promote the travel company of the same name - see this particularly egregious revision. I was about to AfD it before I realised that there was a TV show of the same name and that the article had previously focused on it. I've restored the last revision before this happened and added some more information from sources from 2023. Fork99 (talk) 00:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fork99: Thanks for letting us know. Cheers! Mr Sitcom (talk) 05:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fork99: That was a nice catch. This kind of thing happens more often than you think. Even though is obviously wrong, it's usually not always done with bad intentions since the person doing it almost always is a COI editor who doesn't know about how to properly try to create an article about another subject of the same name. In this case, nobody else seems to have challenged this change made in September 2020 and just went along for the ride instead. None of the accounts involved in the initial shift seem to be active anymore; so, there's no point really in warning them. If they reture or someone new turns up to try and do the same thing again, they can be advised not to and to instead discuss such a shift on the article's talk page instead. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:52, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Christian Manon

[edit]

Would some others mind taking a look at Christian Manon? I stumbled across while checking on some recent file uploads, and it appears that it's been edited by the subject himself numerous times over the years, the last being this from a few months back. The article might've also created by the subject back in 2006 using the account Christian Manon. Anyway, I tried Googling the name and didn't really get any hits that show WP:GNG or even WP:NACTOR. Some primary sources show up, but not really any secondary ones. The article was AfD already once in 2006, but it doesn't seemed to have really improved since then. I thought about adding {{Notability}} to the top of the article, but not sure if there's a point after all these years. I did some minor clean up, added an infobox photo and added a citation, but it seems like there might just be too much to WP:OVERCOME. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you; the actor does not appear notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia page. (Also, here is the original deletion discussion from 2006, if anyone is interested: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian Manon.) Mr Sitcom (talk) 07:19, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More members to edit Australian television-list articles

[edit]

Would some others mind taking a look at 2024 in Australian television? Earlier this year, I observed not many editors (not including myself) did add breaking news events related to Aussie television in 2024. I think this might also be the case for the upcoming 2025 in Australian television article, to be created next year by a Wikipedian.

See the talkpage of 2024 in Australian television if Wikipedians want more details. Yours sincerely, Bas (or TechGeek105) (talk to me) 09:21, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
