Talk:Film Annex

Speedy deletion

Added Speedy for: WP:CSD#A7 WP:CSD#G11

1. A7: Notability is not clearly established by the references.
2. G11: Page exclusively promotional, would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic.

Neutrality

This article appears to now have neutral point of view with the recent changes. The sources for this article are diverse and they comply with the neutrality of this article. This is my view, any thoughts or concerns?

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... the Women's Annex Channel is very important channel to the women of Afghanistan and Roya Mahboob the creator of this channel was named to the Time 100 2013 Most Influential People in the World --WestEndKat (talk) 10:15, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

1) the Women's Annex Channel IS NOT Film Annex. Thus, question remains, why Film Annex should remain as article entry? 2) Notability (or the lack thereof) is verifiable. Looking at the references (1. through 19.) none of them are actual news coverage from economist, bloomberg, or any other independent, or verifiable source. References 20 through 22 are blatantly self-promotional. 3) Section "Notable Channels" refers to an individual, Roya Mahboob, who has a channel on Filmannex, as do others have channels on Youtube, Vimeo, or anywhere else. Section "Philantropy" is not referenced, and thus verified by any other outside independent source. This is questionable, at least. 4) Fact is: Here is a private entity, i.e. filmannex.com, allowed having an article on WP, which violates basic WP guidelines, rules and WP credibility. 5) Based on 1)-4) the question arises: is this attempting to circumvent WP:N Notability?

The citation has been updated. The Film Annex partnership is based on building internet classrooms in Afghanistan.

2) Notability (or the lack thereof) is verifiable. Looking at the references (1. through 19.) none of them are actual news coverage from economist, bloomberg, or any other independent, or verifiable source. References 20 through 22 are blatantly self-promotional.

Updates references include Daily Beast/Newsweek, Voice of America and TIME.

References 20-22 are no longer there so I can't comment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fereshteh Forough (talk • contribs) 02:49, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

YouTube and Vimeo do not produce content. Film Annex co-produces content with some content providers. In addition, Vimeo has "Notable Content" on their wiki page, so this is standard for online platforms in wiki.

"Numerous popular entertainers have used Vimeo to host content. In 2009, Britney Spears used Vimeo as a platform to premier the music video for her single Radar.[citation needed] The White House posts high-definition versions of its broadcasts to Vimeo." Messin33 (talk) 21:16, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
