RationalWiki:Articles for deletion/Brandon Tatum

Brandon Tatum | Result: 5-4-2 after 20 days (no consensus)[edit]

This is a low-quality listicle created by a drive-by redlink editor who hasn't done anything since 2021. Every single reference is a dead link. I don't argue that the subject might be worth covering, but the article stinks. It has no citations. We'd be better off starting from scratch.

I hate meaningless listicles. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 19:44, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
He's sufficiently notable (Candace Owens + Blexit), but all the citations except two are to blather.io, which is defunct. Archive.org captured most of these citations, but failed to do so correctly in a way that the text was saved. Bongolian (talk) 20:07, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
At its current state, the article can't be saved. The subject is missional, but supposing that someone will re-write the article one day, it's better to blow this thing and start over again. GeeJayK ^{Where all evil dwells} _{Where every lie is true} 20:16, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Clearly notable crank. Improve the article, don't scrap it. Carthage (talk) 20:40, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

On mission. Obviously better to improve than delete.Bob ^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 12:14, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Move to draftspace. Subject is clearly missional and notable, but the problem with the references is too big for it to continue in mainspace for the time being. Plutocow (talk) 21:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Second. At this moment in time it's in the shitty position where effectively a) it's a fairly missional topic, b) is a 'decent enough' page but c) doesn't have any refs due to the dead links. KarmaPolice (talk) 10:30, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

I mean, he's clearly relevant (3.23M YouTube subscribers, 800k Twitter followers, has appeared in PragerU). Only thing preventing me from voting outright keep is that the main reference website doesn't seem to archive well (someone tell me if you can get this to work, because I cannot, at least not on mobile).

Voted to move it to draftspace. Plutocow (talk) 21:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
