Paper Duck

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NWEB. Contested CSD. Mdann52 (talk) 14:10, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Internet-related deletion discussions. Mdann52 (talk) 14:10, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can find no significant coverage in independent reliable sources that are about a plush toy known as "Paper Duck". The article has as three references. Reference #1 is about a Tiktok trend of making paper ducks, and is not about a plush toy, nor does it even mention a plush toy. Reference #2 is a youtube video showing how to fold an origami duck and is not at all about a plush toy. Reference #2 is not accessible to me, but I highly doubt that an academic paper from 2001 about beetles published in the Australian Journal of Entomology would be about a plush duck toy. The only relation that paper would have to a duck would be that the surname of one of the authors is "Duck". It looks to me like the article's creator simply googled "Paper Duck" and slapped three of the results that showed up as references without actually evaluating the references. -- Whpq (talk) 14:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the article creator was just mistaken in using the term "plush toy", possibly English isn't their first language. I corrected it to "paper doll" - the copyvio image they illustrated the article with (which has since been removed) did seem to be the same paper cutout as in the TikTok article, I think that's the only possible subject in question here. Belbury (talk) 15:42, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Even with the change to being a paper doll, it is still not notable. -- Whpq (talk) 15:53, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, but we should weigh up whether there are enough sources to consider the paper doll as notable, rather than the plush doll, when no such plush doll exists. Belbury (talk) 15:54, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Whpq: out of interest, have you found a copy of the paper cited in reference #2? Looking at volume 40(4), the page numbers don't line up, it hasn't been published in the previous edition or volume, and I'm suspecting more of a hoax reference. Mdann52 (talk) 15:02, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have access the journal, so I can't see inside. I was unable to find any reference to the paper in other searches, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It may be a hoax reference, or it may be a real paper, but I doubt very much that if it were a real paper, the contents of the paper would be of any relevance to this article given the other two references. -- Whpq (talk) 15:12, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI. I've posted a request at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request#Australian Journal of Entomology to see if anybody might have access. -- Whpq (talk) 15:18, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the result is in. There is no such paper. It is a hoax reference. -- Whpq (talk) 15:53, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd guess that an AI hallucinated it, given the article creator's otherwise low level of English fluency. Which would also explain the "plush toy" thing. (I asked the user on their talk page if they used an AI to generate the text and they didn't understand the question or make any sense in their reply.) Belbury (talk) 19:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect you are right. It looks like it may be a combination of a AI tools and machine translation tools being used. -- Whpq (talk) 19:42, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. I mean, they're cute, but... ehh... Aaron Liu (talk) 15:14, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the only relevant sources I can find are the existing wegotthiscovered.com article and a Dexerto article from one day earlier. Both are very superficial overviews reporting that a TikTok trend for paper ducks existed for a month or so around the start of 2022. I see no WP:SUSTAINED coverage of it.

No sourcing that I could find besides sales listings and a single sentence mention in an issue of The Booklist from 2008, but there is a language barrier so my Japanese searches may have not been effective. Could probably be merged and mentioned somewhere if there aren't other sources. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:28, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NSKATE; medal placement at the junior level or bronze/silver medals at the national championships do not meet the requirements of WP:NSKATE. Google search turns up nothing outside of wikis and scoring databases. Previous AFD featured only a bevy of personal insults and zero arguments in favor of keeping this article that cited any evidence of notability. Bgsu98 (Talk) 02:12, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Brent Pendergrass

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Pendergrass seems to be just under notability, with a partial nomination in a small award and few roles.

Pendergrass has voiced several side characters in multiple works in the Yo-Kai Watch franchise and characters in the PBS Space Racers series. He does not seem to have had any other roles. He states that he wrote several jingles for the Yo-Kai Watch franchise.

As part of a group of actors, he was likely nominated for Best Vocal Ensemble in an Anime Feature Film/Special by Behind the Voice Actors, a smaller source which is mostly a database but does produce the awards as editorial content. Details on the award are a bit muddled, as IMDB states that it was the 2017 award and gives the actor names, but their website states that it was the 2016 award, though the archived version does not display the actor names for the movie awards.

Delete - No secondary coverage, 1 major role, and maybe won a minor award, doesn't meet WP:NBASIC or WP:NACTOR. --Mika1h (talk) 12:49, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete : Fails WP:GNG, WP:NACTOR, and WP:COMPOSER. He lacks significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. Pendergrass also has no credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition. — YoungForever^(talk) 05:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; I don't think WP:NACTOR is met here since there seems to be only one major role and I'm not convinced WP:GNG is met either. Link20XX (talk) 16:38, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
