Death Valley Driver Video Review
I did not understand why TParis (talk · contribs) closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Death Valley Driver Video Review (5th nomination) as no consensus instead of delete and discussed his closure with him here. He noted that he gave significant weight to the assertion that notability is inherited.
He wrote, "The keep !voters base their rationale on the presumption of notable. The delete !voters argue against the google sources but don't even address that the website has interviewed notable people which leaves the presumption of sources." and "It's not inherited. It's presumed to have it's own notability based on the interviews of notable people."
The assertion that the delete side did not address whether notability is inherited from the website's having interviewed people is incorrect:
- Msquared3 (talk · contribs) wrote, "Also, I could be wrong, but I don't think conducting interviews with notable subjects is a criterion used by Misplaced Pages to determine if a subject is 'notable.'"
- Suriel1981 (talk · contribs) wrote, "It's a case of notability not being inherited from celebrities interviewed by the site. After all, famous people do interviews all the time across the range of media."
- I noted that the notability guideline WP:NWEB#No inherited notability states that association with notable people does not confer notability upon websites. I wrote, "DVDVR does not inherit notability from notable interviewees. The site itself has not received notice anywhere; thus, DVDVR is not notable."
After a relist, two editors (Neutrality and LibStar) were unswayed by the notability-is-inherited argument and implicitly rejected it by supporting deletion.
I base this DRV nomination on the reasoning that TParis gave too much weight to the assertion of a single editor, Dream Focus (talk · contribs), that notability was inherited from the interviewing of notable subjects.
Three editors explicitly rejected the notability-is-inherited argument, and two others did so implicitly. Had other editors supported Dream Focus' position that notability is inherited, TParis' argument that "there is a persumption of notability " might have merit. No one else—not even the other "keep" editors—supported this strand of reasoning. Overturn to delete. Goodvac (talk) 03:34, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
