Warkop

This article was speedy deleted twice, but is back again. Obvious problems with WP:RS. All of the films listed here are redlinked and (I assume) none were ever released outside of Indonesia. Ecoleetage (talk) 12:50, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Any particular reason this can't be speedied again and salted? Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 21:28, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Indonesia-related deletion discussions.

Comment well it depends.(1) Once again another Indonesian topic is left out of the Indonesian project deletion list (2) problem is that many Indonesian editors have no idea of RS and at most times the request to ask them to add them is left with complete and utter silence from the editors (3) I dont think that Indonesian editors have sufficient or adequate understanding of article V - N issues to adequately defend afds for a start - which makes the speedy suggestion so tempting I suppose (4) although perhaps not meeting conventional understanding of the N or V context the external links onto youtube would be ok if this wasnt an afd :) Satu Suro 10:54, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. According to this article this group are "iconic comedy figures" and this source says that a generation was brought up on their comedy. They are enough of a household name to be referred to nostalgically and for one of their members to get press coverage for giving up smoking. I've no idea what this article says (maybe SatuSuro can help?) but it certainly seems to be substantial coverage of this group. I would also add that there is absolutely no need for them to be known outside the world's fourth most populous country to be notable. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:59, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Concur with Phil who seems a dab hand at digging out WP:RS on Indonesian topics. Maybe - and this is in all seriousness - he could write a how-to guide for the Indonesia project, who do seem to have a problem getting the sourcing sorted apparently?

Neutral as it stands, the article does not establish notability, and I believe would be appropriate for deletion. Phil Bridger's sources suggest it is indeed a notable topic. However, this information needs to be added to the article. -Verdatum (talk) 17:11, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
