:: So we would say that to be included in the mainspace article it needs to have a reference showing that more than a handful of people were using it - and in practise that did rule out Tumblr posts as a source if those Tumblr posts were just a word and a definition. But ruling out any Tumblr page as a source would, I think, be unwise - especially since the nonbinary presence there is so strong and well-established. After all, it's just a blogging platform! Saying "no Tumblr" would be like saying "no newspapers" - but saying "no Daily Mail" is fine, and saying "no [specific blog that happens to be on Tumblr]" would also be fine. For this reason I'd say the title of this section is probably badly applied - Tumblr is used as a social network in many ways, but it is designed and used as a blogging platform. A very social one where sharing is encouraged, but still a blogging platform! --'''[[User:Cassolotl|<span style="color:#008000">Cassolotl</span>]]''' ''<small>([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) <span style="color:#808080">pronouns: they/them</span></small>'' 13:21, 14 June 2017 (UTC) | :: So we would say that to be included in the mainspace article it needs to have a reference showing that more than a handful of people were using it - and in practise that did rule out Tumblr posts as a source if those Tumblr posts were just a word and a definition.

::: {{ping|Cassolotl}} I see, it makes sense. So, what about: | |||
:::* Keeping the abusefilter warning message on all tumblr links saying that only relevant blogs are allowed. | |||
:::* If a whole article is based on questionable tumblr blogs, add the <nowiki>{{tumblr links}}</nowiki> (used currently in [[:Category:Pages with Tumblr links|2 pages]]. | |||
:::I don't know how to measure the notability of a blog though. I mean, Nonbinary Stats is clearly a good source. But what about [http://queerquerys.tumblr.com this one]? --[[User:NeoMahler|NeoMahler]] ([[User talk:NeoMahler|talk]]) 14:26, 14 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
