Fandompost
[edit]I suggest adding it to the list of unreliable sources per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yuuki (Sword Art Online Character). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 22:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- The Fandom Post's reliability was discussed by the project in the past. I'm not going to read through the entire AfD, but what ferret said about them not having a staff page is incorrect (see here, found under about and here) and they do list credentials for their staff in articles they write and their credentials were also discussed in the linked discussion above. Specifically, the website's editor-in-chief and most frequent writer, Chris Beveridge, has been interviewed by Anime News Network (link) and they have even written a few articles about his website and even cited it as a source on occasion, like here and here. Additionally, Beveridge has been a guest of honor at Anime Boston (link). The website's other writers have also written for other reliable sources, as can be seen in the linked discussion (too lazy to reproduce them all). Link20XX (talk) 23:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Link20XX Thanks. If it was discussed but not added to the ORS list, does it mean there was no consensus on its reliability? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- It is on the list as "The Fandom Post". Link20XX (talk) 02:03, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Just following up. I missed the About Us page at first and found it afterwards, to which I already replied at the AFD. I think this source is very close to essentially being just a blog for Beveridge at this stage, but we do treat some authors as sources in their own right. -- ferret (talk) 21:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- It may be a good idea to add url (ex. fandompost.com) next to the names. That's what I was searching for. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:10, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- That's how I missed it. I searched for "fandompost", but it's on the list as "Fandom Post". -- ferret (talk) 15:08, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Clarification
[edit]Just clarification. Is the "Production Info" on staff review of Anime News Network, reliable source and can be use as source?, because they seem to be not WP:USERG and separated from the encyclopedia. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 02:20, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- If it is to objectively point out some fact about the production that is mentioned in a review or to briefly point out some staff commentary regarding some aspect of the production, I think it's fine. Xexerss (talk) 04:18, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- I was thinking of using this review as a source on Shōgo Yasukawa for being an episode writer of Alice and Zoroku, Do you think this is good source for that? Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 04:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ooops I'm sorry, I totally misunderstood your question. It seems that the 'Production info' is based on the user-generated encyclopedia, so I'd say that it shouldn't be used. In any case, Yasukawa credits appear on other reliable sites like Media Arts Database ([1][2]), so you could use these ones instead. Xexerss (talk) 05:03, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Understood, Thanks for the tip though! Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 05:42, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Anime Herald
[edit]I noticed that this site has been cited in certain articles. Honestly, at first I thought it was going to be just another self-published blog, but the site has conducted its own interviews and some of its columns have been written by Lauren Orsini, who has also contributed for Anime News Network.[3][4][5][6][7] The site also has its own editorial staff. More evidence may be needed, but so far it seems to me a decent site that could perhaps be added to the list of RS. Xexerss (talk) 22:32, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Anime Corner
[edit]@Oozora Subaru: Can you explain your rationale on why Anime Corner would be a reliable source? The website looks to have an editorial policy but I'm a little unsure about the writers as they don't have a lot of notability overall. lullabying (talk) 04:28, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
