KeepIt's clearly marked as an essay. People cite shortcuts all the time that aren't policies and guidelines. Instead of it being the elephant in the room, expand the essay to say what it is and isn't. There's plenty of data at another essay, Wikipedia:How ITN works (and how it doesn't) § What is a high enough death toll? Educate. WP:CENSOR is not the solution.— Bagumba ( talk) 06:20, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Keep- Despite what I said on ITN/C, I agree with Bagumba. Let's hold off for a bit. I think the essay has a lot of potential and that the use of the redirect might not be all that problematic if the essay is in project-space. --Cheers, ⛵ WaltClipper -( talk) 12:35, 21 June 2023 (UTC)-

- Talent scouting for Hollywood → Talent agent ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
The target subject is not exclusive to Hollywood. The redirect creates that assumption, which is false and thus misleading. Steel1943 ( talk) 18:32, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete as the article does not use the term "scout" and implies the article is about people who find actors to be in films in Hollywood (akin to talent scout in sports) rather than about people who find films in Hollywood for actors to be in. Mdewman6 ( talk) 18:54, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

- Comment The title creates no such expectation. What? Invasive Spices ( talk) 21:56, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:REDYES/ WP:RFD#D10. It seems as though there is no article about talent scouting for the film/television industry at all, let alone Hollywood. The current target is actually about agents (not restricted to hollywood or even the entertainment industry). There are articles about talent scouts in sport ( Scout (sport)) and music ( Artists and repertoire) so I don't see why there couldn't be one for acting. A7V2 ( talk) 01:33, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

All incoming links seem to mean this to refer to WP:Subject-matter expert, i.e. WP:Expert editors, rather than the current target, with this confusion actually being discussed here and here. Seems like this should be retargeted to Wikipedia:Expert editors and the corresponding expansion of the initialism redirected to the same page. Mdewman6 ( talk) 18:16, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Ultimate NZ Soccer is a self published source; I have not been able to identify the author, as their are images of him but no name, suggesting that WP:SME is not met

-
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jordon Hall/
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2022 June 8, as
[B]ecause the authors are not WP:SME, the articles do not count towards notability.

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 398 as
I see nothing particualar about the freelance writer that would indicate that they are an WP:SME, so I see no reasonable reason to see this as reliable except for the author's opinion
.
- Out of these, only
Wikipedia:Super Mario effect's link as a shortcut unambiguously refers to the Super Mario Effect, and
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1098 is a user getting confused at the definition of SME after it was used to mean "Subject-matter expert". The rest all point towards the clause of
WP:SPS that a self-published source is only considered reliable if it's written by a subject-matter expert. @

WP:SME as pointing towards
Wikipedia:Super Mario effect?

- They won't, because there aren't any, and apparently
they are bored. Users should not accuse other users of being wrong when the evidence indicates otherwise- totally contrary to
WP:AGF and
WP:CIVIL. Clearly they were the ones being presumptuous. Sad that their response caused you to spell it out for them, when the expectation at Rfd is that when backlinks are discussed, any user can use the "links" link at the top of the Rfd to investigate for themselves. These sorts of jumping to conclusions and ignorance of evidence and false assertions wastes other user's time.

The current target is actually about agents (not restricted to hollywood or even the entertainment industry). There are articles about talent scouts in sport ( Scout (sport)) and music ( Artists and repertoire) so I don't see why there couldn't be one for acting. A7V2 ( talk) 01:33, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

- Out of these, only
Wikipedia:Super Mario effect's link as a shortcut unambiguously refers to the Super Mario Effect, and
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1098 is a user getting confused at the definition of SME after it was used to mean "Subject-matter expert". The rest all point towards the clause of
WP:SPS that a self-published source is only considered reliable if it's written by a subject-matter expert. @

- They won't, because there aren't any, and apparently
they are bored. Users should not accuse other users of being wrong when the evidence indicates otherwise- totally contrary to
WP:AGF and
WP:CIVIL. Clearly they were the ones being presumptuous. Sad that their response caused you to spell it out for them, when the expectation at Rfd is that when backlinks are discussed, any user can use the "links" link at the top of the Rfd to investigate for themselves. These sorts of jumping to conclusions and ignorance of evidence and false assertions wastes other user's time.
