Feed Me Bubbe

[edit]

AfDs for this article:

Procedural nomination. Was previously deleted for failing WP:WEB. It is now relisted based on new evidence of notability presented at DRV. IronGargoyle 05:28, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It may be that the prose is just badly written but nothing in this article suggests a wider reference point than a narrow podcast fanbase. It just doesn't assert notability strongly enough to warrant inclusion. A possible candidate for resurrection one day but right now it's niche at best.Dick G 06:24, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep DRV cited an ABC News source for notability. Wl219 11:26, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per new sourcing provided in the DRV, although frankly I'd prefer to see stronger sourcing than a single article. This is in need of a lot of cleanup though. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 20:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete ABC is just one source - We're gonna need more than that. Nothing in the article qualifies as a RS Corpx 03:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep In June 2007, "Feed Me Bubbe" was featured in an "Art of Living" segment on Retirement Living TV, a TV channel carried by Comcast and DirectTV.
Keep, besides the ABC News item, there was a report at the Wall Street Journal which, unfortunately, requires a subscription. But if you go to http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB117880450303898581.html you'll see the image which goes with the article if you go to page 5 of that link.

Comment Feed Me Bubbe is #6 on the WSJ link, not #5. Wl219 18:04, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops. Sorry about that. Corvus cornix 20:34, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Add these up. They represent many more sources than discussed above:

In June 2007, "Feed Me Bubbe" was featured in an "Art of Living" segment on Retirement Living TV, a TV channel carried by Comcast and DirectTV.

"Feed Me Bubbe" was discussed in a June 5, 2007, article by Vikkie Ortiz in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It stated, "The videos, which offer 'Yiddish Words of the Day,' were mentioned on the NBC late-night TV show Last Call With Carson Daly and have inspired hundreds of e-mails daily." The Journal Sentinel article was picked by (at least) the Miami Herald and published on page E4 of its June 9, 2007, issue.

Here is the link to Carson Daly, saying about Avrom, "That guy's awesome, actually. He's becoming a famous IYS'er."

Another print mention of the show appeared in the Canadian Jewish News, v. 37, issue 4 ("Kugel - tradition, recipes and lore," Jan. 18, 2007). The (KRT) Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ("YouTube nation: Relating experiences," May 5, 2007); and the Spokane Spokesman Review, page 11A ("Video Bloggers Serve Offbeat Food TV," May 7, 2007) also published articles.

The Wall Street Journal's Jessica E. Vascellaro wrote an article, discussing "Feed Me Bubbe" that was distributed by The AP Datastream ("Using Youtube for posterity," May 10, 2007). Vascellaro's article was published in the Toronto Globe and Mail, page L7 ("Seniors leave their legacy - on YouTube," May 11, 2007); in the Charleston (WV) Sunday Gazette Mail ("Grandparents give YouTube a try," May 13, 2007); in The Cincinnati Post, page B3 ("Latest Stars of Youtube Belong to Elder Generation," May 17, 2007); and on page 1 of Business section in the Virginian-Pilot & Ledger Star (Norfolk) ("Hey! grandma has a story tell on youtube," May 21, 2007).
