[edit] Super Twins

Super Twins (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unsourced, lone link is to a tabloid. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Shrumster 18:51, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep See this article: [1] (its in whatever language they speak there, but it gets the point across) This show is in fact real, on the largest Filipino network, and premiering in ten days.--CastAStone|^(talk) 19:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. All the link says (that is relevant to the show) is that Jolina is singing the theme song, names two actresses cast and that the show is going to be shown on Feb 12. If that's enough for the article to exist, it should be trimmed then (and the source added). Shrumster 19:56, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
• Neutral. Notability is questionable, but that may be expected prior to a premiere. Suggest Watchlisting and re-evaluating in a few weeks. Arakunem 19:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

  Is this written in Tagalog or something? TRKtv (daaaaah!) 22:48, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

  Comment. Yup, it is. Allow me to translate the tagalog parts. "You guys are so shallow! You're even having a debate! Maybe Howard the whatever started this! (skipped english text) It's going to be shown! You are so (hmm...can't find a direct translation for this one). Shallow!" Just for the benefit of the english speakers, as this IS the en.wikipedia.

• Speedy keep and close this nomination. Commercials and teasers abound the primetime slot of GMA Network. And no, I'm not affiliated with the nominator. --Howard the Duck 06:52, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. I'd like to point out that User:Booze broads and bullets keeps removing AfD notices on select pages. Can someone warn him please? Shrumster 20:13, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep AND clean-up. Commercials are on TV, so this is definitely on. However, we need something more reliable than a tabloid; a tabloid could just well be as good as a gossip magazine full of unreliable nonsense. --- Tito Pao 06:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. Per Tito Pao's rationale, he makes a good point. I'd be willing to withdraw my nomination as long as the article gets better sources and some real material in there. What really attracted my attention enough to nominate this is the "Synopsis" section with the only words under it being "To be announced". Shrumster 06:45, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep + clean up It's definitely real. But it could do with more content. However I do have to ask, a Filipino Tabloids the same a US Tabloids? Because in the UK Tabloids may be a bit dubios but there not as bad as... say... The National Enquirer. --GracieLizzie 17:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• From my experience, Philippine tabloid newspapers tend to run gossip articles with unverified gossip (well, gossip is unverified in the first place). In some cases, a blind item would lead to a denial on the weekend entertainment news shows. In some cases, too, a tabloid item would lead to lawsuits. There are also some potential conflict of interest issues as some tabloid writers are also managers of some actors and actresses. So for me, tabloid articles in the Philippines should be taken with a grain of salt. --- Tito Pao 18:06, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. If Filipino tabloids are the same as US tabloids (which I agree with), then they shouldn't be used as reliable sources for anything (not even "gossip"). Sure, there aren't many "Image of Jesus on a pancake!" articles, but equivalently ridiculous ones are published on those. The closest that I'd even consider accepting would be Abante (and I won't). Tabloid blogs? No way those are passing WP:RS. Shrumster 18:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. Ah, I see... then we definitely need a more verifiable reference. --GracieLizzie 19:21, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
