Youtube vs articles citing it
editTo answer your edit summary on Professor Layton and the New World of Steam:
A Youtube link is a primary source, which cannot be used as a citation for interpretations of itself, such as Steam Bison being steampunk (see WP:PRIMARY). Also from that policy, a primary source can't be the basis for an entire article, which means the sources that mostly describe the trailers need to be cited in order to circumvent that and to show notability. Secondary sources are usually relied upon for articles.
I do understand your frustration, and the trailer can be cited now that notability is established with secondary sources, but only for "statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge" (from WP:PRIMARY again); it can't be the basis for an entire article or large passages of articles, and should largely be avoided unless it's something simple and necessary for the article that isn't described by any secondary sources.

Shinto in popular culture
editHello, Aidanzapunk. You recently removed a {{citation needed}} template from Shinto in popular culture. Although editors are free to remove maintenance templates if they believe there is no issue needing maintenance, removing sourcing-related tags like that one call for caution (see WP:DETAG). If another editor has called for verification or the like, it should be provided – even in the case of older video games that you may be familiar with.

- The issue was less "I know this game well, so it's obvious to me", but rather "this game has its information readily accessible to the general public, regardless of whether or not people have purchased it, so why does a source need to be provided?" Regardless, I gave a source. Aidanzapunk (talk) 05:26, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
