Hi, I added a line on Hadouken - Wikipedia
It had a brief description and a link, specifically about the web comic "Oglaf," both of which were removed. Is the issue the link itself, because of the adult nature of the comic? The info appears to be no less notable than some of the other references. Would it be permitted without the link?
Thank you. Grendel205 ( talk) 20:06, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi - the adult nature isn't strictly an issue,
Wikipedia isn't age restricted. It being external link is bad, but not that bad (it can just be turned into a citation). The problem is that it's not
notable. I agree that it is not less notable than what is already there - but the problem is that that stuff isn't notable either - there's a header at the top of that section that points out this pre-existing problem: "This section may contain
irrelevant references to
popular culture. Please remove the content or add
citations to
reliable and
independent sources." - Check out the
popular culture link, which specifies the rough guidelines for what really should and shouldn't be in the "In popular culture" sections. Really, the whole "Hadouken in popular culture" needs a clearout, which I'll do now.

- I understand now, thanks. Admittedly, I was going by what was already there. And I had no idea what "hadouken" was until I saw the strip and then needed to look it up, which took me right to this page. At least I finally understand the joke!

- No worries - the "in popular culture" sections are always a bit confusing about what counts as notable or not. You haven't done anything wrong and you were trying to help the article, so it's all good :) Welcome to Wikipedia by the way! BugGhost 🪲👻 13:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate your message on my talk page, because I reported an account to AIV when I probably didn't need to, and I wanted to acknowledge your effort to reel me in, there. I hope to continue seeing you around! SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 15:34, 17 July 2024 (UTC) |

- Of course! It's important to recognize editors who help others, and you were right about potentially biting a new user. In that particular case, while the CSD's were appropriate, sending to AIV wasn't, so I'm grateful that you called me on that! retaining new editors is something I've tried to emphasize recently and it's easy to forget that, especially when I'm on autopilot :) SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 16:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
