Youtube vs articles citing it

To answer your edit summary on Professor Layton and the New World of Steam:

A Youtube link is a primary source, which cannot be used as a citation for interpretations of itself, such as Steam Bison being steampunk (see WP:PRIMARY). Also from that policy, a primary source can't be the basis for an entire article, which means the sources that mostly describe the trailers need to be cited in order to circumvent that and to show notability. Secondary sources are usually relied upon for articles.

I do understand your frustration, and the trailer can be cited now that notability is established with secondary sources, but only for "statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge" (from WP:PRIMARY again); it can't be the basis for an entire article or large passages of articles, and should largely be avoided unless it's something simple and necessary for the article that isn't described by any secondary sources.

Shinto in popular culture

Hello, Aidanzapunk. You recently removed a {{citation needed}} template from Shinto in popular culture. Although editors are free to remove maintenance templates if they believe there is no issue needing maintenance, removing sourcing-related tags like that one call for caution (see WP:DETAG). If another editor has called for verification or the like, it should be provided – even in the case of older video games that you may be familiar with. Happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 03:48, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

The issue was less "I know this game well, so it's obvious to me", but rather "this game has its information readily accessible to the general public, regardless of whether or not people have purchased it, so why does a source need to be provided?" Regardless, I gave a source. Aidanzapunk (talk) 05:26, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Logan's Run (film), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please review WP:IPCV as welll. DonIago (talk) 01:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
