We will! An editor seems to think being cast onDrag Race is like being cast onBig Brother. I'm not interested in arguing at AfD so it is what it is. ---Another Believer(Talk)14:07, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Unpopular opinion for this WP to follow). What most of the arguments boil down to is that unless the queen has been on another TV show *or* has otherwise gotten previous coverage before the season's contestants to get them *close* to the notability standard, they won't be notable when Episode 1 is broadcast. A few queens definitely become notable during the season (Sherry Pie comes to mind) and the winners at the end of the seasons. Beyond that, most of them probably reach notability based on coverage of the additional opportunities that they get as a DR Alumna/Alumnus. Note, for this purpose, I am *not* treating Untucked (or the equivalent) as another television show, but I *do* count the All-Stars/vs the world/etc. as a second one.
HonestlyNyongbella stands as a pretty good example. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nyongbella&direction=next&oldid=1314837980) She has only been on DRUK, other than possibly being the first Cameroonian(?) and the third Trans competitor on DRUK, I can't find anything else that would raise her to the level of Notable. For queens that don't meet that standard, I'd *far* rather that the articles be created in Draft, and re-evaluated at the end of the season. If they get deleted due to being non-active for 6 months they can easily go throughWP:REFUND if they get selected for All-Stars.Naraht (talk)13:50, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think your opinion is unpopular at all. This project has a strong track record of creating (and deleting) articles appropriately. Sure, maybe a few stubs were created prematurely, but the mass nominating of entries for deletion is not necessary, in my opinion. Every one of these pages at minimum serves as a helpful redirect. I expect several of these entries could be expanded, but I am not going to waste time working on articles at AFD. As evidenced byDraft:Dita Garbo, easier to work in the draft space. As for the UK series 7 contestants, I imagine those articles will be restored in the near future. ---Another Believer(Talk)14:03, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Naraht I hope you,User:Cornmazes and other project members will contribute to the many ongoing AfD discussions. There seems to be some disagreement regarding notability of people who have competed multiple times, so it'd be helpful if more editors would weigh in and come to a consensus on this. ---Another Believer(Talk)13:51, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll be happy to, but as I said, unless they are near notable on the day before they are announced (such as being on another drag show) or unless somethingSherry Pie level occurs during the season, I *generally* support redirects until the finale, especially if all of the references in the article are after the announcement. I'd like more information on an example of "competed multiple times" person. Something like DR:Canada and DR:CatW?Naraht (talk)14:04, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Naraht: In the case ofWikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Drag_Race#Deletion_nominations, all of the contestants have competed at least twice. I know these areDragula contestants and therefore not specific to this project. However, the nominator's rationale for deletion similarly applies to manyDrag Race contestants. Competing onDragula andTitans is similar to competing onDrag Race andAll Stars (different series within the same franchise), so coming to a consensus here is important and relevant to this project. ---Another Believer(Talk)15:22, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Is it Juan?: I'm sorry I had to move some of the articles you started and expanded to the draft space. While I don't think this was necessary, I didn't really have a choice in the matter. Looking forward to seeing some of these restored at a later date. ---Another Believer(Talk)14:14, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Another Believer! Yeah seems like less than the American version was changed. Not sure if this is due to quality of articles, who is looking, or different policies on Canadian origin vs American origin stuff, as Canadian things are on average going to have way less sources. For Drag Race episodes in general, i wonder if it would be helpful to see what the articles that are okay have compared to the ones that don't (like infoboxes, primary and secondary sources, pictures, reception or results in culture from the episode, critical acclaim or major awards, etc.) that could help us to see which ones could feasibly be upgraded first with that type of info/additions. Haven't looked too deep at the Canadian episodes, but it seems ones that have received awards and acclaim from the Canadian Screen Awards (Canadian emmys and oscars basically) seem to have survived? ~~~HighlandFacts (talk)20:55, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Another Believer looked at the Canadian ones and seems the episodes kept all made reference to their nominations or wins for the Canadian Screen Awards or Canadian Cinema Editors Awards, and the ones without were AfD'd. So I'll make a quick list off the list of Rupaul's drag race wins and noms list of episodes with any wins or nominations that could be included. That could be an easy way to restore some of the articles without needing extreme additions or restructuringHighlandFacts (talk)21:12, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
