Wattpad

Name of a not especially famous Web site. Equinox ◑ 14:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

• Wikipedia also has an article for Literotica. Delete this if it doesn't meet WT:CFI. DonnanZ (talk) 15:47, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Delete, I am sure it is not dictionary material, as we do not have Quora or Reddit ! ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 18:25, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Is this not an RFV issue? WT:BRAND Fytcha (talk) 19:30, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

The name is not a brand name but the name of a specific entity, so WT:NSE should apply. Websites are not one of the types of entities for which we have specifically decided that they are includible, but considering the fact that websites that are orders of magnitudes more popular have not got an entry here should be an indication.  --Lambiam 15:47, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, you're right; WT:NSE applies, not WT:BRAND. Fytcha (talk) 16:21, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Delete as it doesn't seem like there's much evidence that'd meet CFI that Wattpad as a verb, noun, etc. has entered the lexicon per our standards yet. PseudoSkull (talk) 19:37, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Delete per Eq. —Svārtava ^{[t•c•u•r]} 07:03, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Deleted free advertising. DAVilla 18:02, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

It may suit us to call it "free advertising", but our sister project Wikipedia accepts it. It is doubtful for CFI reasons instead. DonnanZ (talk) 00:40, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Agreed: we have Greenpeace and Facebook because I guess they are famous enough. (I've never been a fan of these "organisation" entries.) But you really need to be big, and mentioned outside of brand context, to qualify for this. Equinox ◑ 00:45, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
