Reviews, particularly reviews by notable critics, do not fall under WP:DAILYMAIL.

[edit]

Note to David Gerard and IP hopper: Reviews, particularly reviews by notable critics (such as Quentin Letts), do not fall under WP:DAILYMAIL. The Daily Mail is neither banned nor blacklisted on Wikipedia. Please see WP:Deprecated sources and WP:Deprecated sources#Acceptable uses of deprecated sources. -- Softlavender (talk) 03:31, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fails to meet the policy WP:UNDUE, failure to show you've met the policy WP:BURDEN in this particular case. Picking sentences out of RFC discussions - not even the conclusions - that you think give a general out on these policies can't override these policies, and you're failing to meet it by such general assertions.
Why is this particuar review so overwhelmingly necessary to meeting the policy WP:NPOV that you need to use a source that is prima facie an Unreliable Source, failing to meet the guideline WP:RS as requred in the policy WP:V?
You need to make your case, not just keep edit-warring the deprecated source into articles.
I realise I'm proposing a high bar there. But in the face of an RFC, WP:DAILYMAIL that reached a strong general consensus that the DM is generally prohibited, that the Daily Mail should not be used for determining notability, and nor should it be used as a source in articles, it's the sort of level of evidence that would be needed.
If you want a more general principle that says "oh, but this reviewer is OK" - a general exception to the two RFCs, one that is not in fact in the RFC conclusion - then you would need to take that to WP:RS and get it established by an RFC there. When someone tried this recently, it noticeably failed to convince people, and has now been archived - but if you think you can make a general case, you know as well as I do that's where to do it, and not on a particular article talk page - David Gerard (talk) 08:25, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
