Woppit

If Mr Whoppit is a Woppit, then (partly due to the new Merrythought regeneration) where does the generic Woppit fit, in terms of notability? This blog post contains some further info which could possibly be sourced elsewhere. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 10:59, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

A couple of refs, including this, were removed as they're "not RS" (which is a reason that we can't rely on them to prove notability or a contentious claim, but not a reason to exclude them in general). This even went to ANI, but TheRedPenOfDoom chose not to engage in that discussion and the only argument for removing non-RS seemed to come down to, "Things are removable because I want to remove them".

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.70.66.86 (talk) 15:37, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

oh, dear andy, i am pretty sure that "people didnt leave my non reliable sources" is not really a position you wish to base any critique upon. And do you really want me to quote what the third party responses and consensus to that ANI discussion were? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:08, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
It went to ANI, which to save duplication I've already linked to rather than quoting. Your view garnered no support. You didn't even attempt to defend it yourself. There is still no policy requiring that all sources have to meet RS. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:58, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
