List of Popular Flipnote Creators

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is unencyclopedic content. It's a list of individuals with limited notability of the concept itself. The phenomenon can be mentioned in the Flipnote Studio article but there's no reason to have a list of the individual creators on wikipedia. Shadowjams (talk) 02:31, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I could change it a bit to make List of Popular Flipnote Creators more encyclopedic. I am knowledgeable in the subject. I even participate in Flipnote Hatena. But, how do you make a article encyclopedic? Greenble (talk) 03:06, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is, to be honest, not very encyclopedic. We don't have a list of top players on the Sony game networks or any other various game/entertainment area, so this isn't needed or encyclopedic, especially since this is a list that would probably change often as new people slide into the top ranks of popularity. Flipnote Hatena is notable (not arguing that), but that notability doesn't extend to the users of that application. (Not to mention that this would be open to users potentially adding themselves or their personal favorite users onto the list claiming that they're popular in their particular FH niche.) Please see WP:NOT for what doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:15, 12 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Delete - not notable, not encyclopedic. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:26, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This doesn't meet the standard for what is notable. This seems too much like a list of top scorers on a video or computer game. Such lists are transitory and doesn't meet the criteria for notability under ordinary circumstances. If a flipbook creator or a flipbook animation had some sort of notability that extended beyond Hatena (ie, was featured in a TV show or documentary, got written up in a magazine or newspaper, or had commercial or critical success as an artist that was noted outside of Flipbook Hatena) then that would be notable and worthy of inclusion on the Flipbook Studio page itself.OckRaz ^talk 10:21, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Delete per OckRaz, and also because I couldn't find any reliable sources about these people outside of the Flipnote community. --Madison-chan (talk) 22:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)Madison-chan[reply]
