Inappropriate citations in bias subsection

The following sources referenced in the subsection on bias in Wikipedia are both completely innapropriate. I will be back to review if a rollback can be made, or if a deletion is better. please provide feedback before then.

[1] Curently citation 192, is not a scholarly or professional source of any kind, nor is it an original work. It is a summary of proceedings which took place during a summit which included commercially and politically motivated speakers, covering a wide range of topics. the source referenced has been obscured making its primary text unverifiable, and, presents the misappropriation that it is actually a scientific publication buy obscurity behind a pay wall.

[2] Currently citation 193, this is also not an original work, the cited source does not include any original research, and in fact cites the Wikipedia article it is used in as its source for the fact that it is used to cite in the Wikipedia article. this is a clear Wikipedia:Verifiability ABOUTSELF violation.

The screemshot in the infobox isn't aligned to centre on mobile view, it's a bit to the left. Sushidude21! (talk) 01:52, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the April Fools AFD's on this page

Per WP:BRD. I want the april fools AFD nominations to be removed from this page. No other talk page does this, it seems pointless, and the "consensus" is wrong anyways. Also there is no humor template. @Johnjbarton SimpleSubCubicGraph (talk) 04:45, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Having a look at Wikipedia:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2024, you might be right. Why did you delete the merge though? CMD (talk) 04:57, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chipmunkdavis That was a mistake I made. SimpleSubCubicGraph (talk) 05:14, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done a few more spotchecks, found Talk:Balloon, but that's the only one so far. CMD (talk) 05:18, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chipmunkdavis doesn't really make sense to include april fools AFD nominations. April fools day on wikipedia is contained to just April 1st, not for it to be actually used. SimpleSubCubicGraph (talk) 05:28, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They might be humorous, but they were actually filed. I say keep them, it's what the Old Afd-template is for. I don't know of any routine to exclude "funny" afd:s, my default assumption is that if it happened, it should be added. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:41, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keepers, for the humour alone (and the ever-present historic value). Randy Kryn (talk) 12:21, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for starting this discussion. I don't agree with your reasons for your delete:
  • "No other page does this," No other page is named "Wikipedia" either. Many pages have old-AfD listings, but I've never seen such a listing deleted. Perhaps deleting these are more common than I think.
  • "it seems pointless" If you mean the Fools part, please see Humour As with any art form, the acceptance of a particular style or incidence of humour depends on sociological factors and varies from person to person. If you mean retaining a list of old AfD, then please start an RFC to remove Template:Old XfD multi from all pages.
  • "the "consensus" is wrong anyways." I am unclear on what this means. The word "consensus" appears in your proposed delete in the sentence The discussion was closed on 27 February 2010 with a consensus to merge. which appears to me to be true based on the records.

As I noted above, from my checks it seems the majority of April Fools AfDs are removed from their relevant talkpages. CMD (talk) 18:27, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chipmunkdavis I agree that is a reasonable argument to remove the April Fools AfD on this page. Johnjbarton (talk) 00:16, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnjbarton consensus of the AFD's SimpleSubCubicGraph (talk) 23:44, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you believe the consensus of the AfD's is incorrect, I suppose you can attempt to appeal them with an RFC but I think that is very unlikely to be popular. I don't see how your opinion on the consensus of these AfD becomes an argument to delete the record. Johnjbarton (talk) 00:09, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
