The Diabetes Duo: Captain Glucose and Meter Boy
AfDs for this article:
- The Diabetes Duo: Captain Glucose and Meter Boy ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View log · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Prodded by User:MatthewHoobin with the rationale "No indication of notability; the references cited here are few and appear unreliable, and a Google search doesn't turn up much better results in terms of verifiable sources."
Taking it here as this was previously discussed at AFD. I concur with the PROD rationale. — Train2104 ( t • c) 06:26, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
- Deleting this makes no sense as Captain Glucose and Meter Boy and the Diabetes Hero Squad are an internationally and world renowned entity. A simple google search and the citations listed confirm that. Obviously whoever tagged this for deletion has little understanding about the worldwide diabetes community. IMO, deleting this would be wiki's loss as you will be removing a notable and charitable diabetes resource. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carljtwo ( talk • contribs) 16:11, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
- @ Carljtwo: If you believe that the subject of this article is notable, please provide links to reliable, third-party resources that discuss it beyond a brief mention or inclusion in a list. The notability of the subject needs to be proved through pointing to resources rather than appealing to "wiki's loss", which is a very weak argument. Aoba47 ( talk) 02:19, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete No indication of significant coverage in reliable sources. The argument for keeping seems to amount to WP:ILIKEIT and I have to say, I'm involved in "the diabetes community" and I've never heard of them. Maybe they're not as world-renown as suggested.
