ABC Entertains

edit

Would someone mind taking a look at ABC Entertains? The channel apparently underwent a rebranding that included a logo change, and some IPs have been trying to add the "new" logo by just changing the syntax in the infobox without uploading a new file to either Commons or Wikipedia. In addition, ABC Entertains#Programming seems like it might be a bit redundant to List of programs broadcast by ABC (Australian TV network). -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:59, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

The channel itself rebranded from its previous name ABC Me on 3 June 2024 (citation below). I will try to upload the logo when I can.

Luxury Escapes

edit

Luxury Escapes appears to have been hijacked in the past to completely remove all mention that it was a TV show, and to promote the travel company of the same name - see this particularly egregious revision. I was about to AfD it before I realised that there was a TV show of the same name and that the article had previously focused on it. I've restored the last revision before this happened and added some more information from sources from 2023. Fork99 (talk) 00:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Fork99: Thanks for letting us know. Cheers! Mr Sitcom (talk) 05:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Fork99: That was a nice catch. This kind of thing happens more often than you think. Even though is obviously wrong, it's usually not always done with bad intentions since the person doing it almost always is a COI editor who doesn't know about how to properly try to create an article about another subject of the same name. In this case, nobody else seems to have challenged this change made in September 2020 and just went along for the ride instead. None of the accounts involved in the initial shift seem to be active anymore; so, there's no point really in warning them. If they reture or someone new turns up to try and do the same thing again, they can be advised not to and to instead discuss such a shift on the article's talk page instead. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:52, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Christian Manon

edit

Would some others mind taking a look at Christian Manon? I stumbled across while checking on some recent file uploads, and it appears that it's been edited by the subject himself numerous times over the years, the last being this from a few months back. The article might've also created by the subject back in 2006 using the account Christian Manon. Anyway, I tried Googling the name and didn't really get any hits that show WP:GNG or even WP:NACTOR. Some primary sources show up, but not really any secondary ones. The article was AfD already once in 2006, but it doesn't seemed to have really improved since then. I thought about adding {{Notability}} to the top of the article, but not sure if there's a point after all these years. I did some minor clean up, added an infobox photo and added a citation, but it seems like there might just be too much to WP:OVERCOME. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree with you; the actor does not appear notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia page. (Also, here is the original deletion discussion from 2006, if anyone is interested: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian Manon.) Mr Sitcom (talk) 07:19, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
