The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to Nzxt. Sovereign /^Sentinel 12:07, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NZXT Corp. → NZXT – WP:CONCISE. No need for unnecessary disambiguation. Old article at NZXT was deleted because it was only a promotional list, but the current article talks about the same topic. Notability has been established for this page. Sovereign /^Sentinel 02:35, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Nzxt per MOS:TM/MOS:CAPS this is not an acronym; if it isn't deleted as a repost of a deleted article (which seems to have escaped consideration in the last AFD). -- 70.51.203.69 (talk) 04:36, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment notability of this topic is questioned, according to the cleanup boxes appearing on this page -- 70.51.203.69 (talk) 04:37, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The NZXT rental issue

@NeoJade, I am guessing that we are watching the same video at about the same time, otherwise you wouldn't have landed here to write with their video as a source, and me checking out the article here. I have reverted your addition (Special:Diff/1260578657) as GN, in my opinion, is a primary source given that they are the one who are doing the investigation and publishing their results as a video report. There is also a matter of conflict of interest given that they have had advertising dollars from them as well (breaking the contract does not mean that they are free of conflict of interest as defined by our WP:COI policy). Let's wait for other sources to report on this, shall we? – robertsky (talk) 15:27, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Robertsky I've added a paragraph with three reliable sources. Two from a few months ago, that cover the program and its cost, as well as one recent source that highlighted the video. The reliance on the video is now minimal and all via a secondary source (The Verge), but if the summary of the Verge summary is still too much feel free to trim that a bit. I just noticed that the IP editor above also found a new Tom's Hardware article by the EIC of the Italian edition that might help, too. —siro χ o 07:19, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source was primary and self published, yes, but it's also clearly a bit of investigative journalism done by domain experts. Wikipedia doesn't outright ban primary self published sources for exactly this kind of case: Where it's actually good. The Wikipedia COI policy is also about editors, not sources, and there's no COI in general here. Dropping a potentially lucrative relationship to whistleblow is the opposite of COI.

As a reader I would much rather see the direct citation than the current "The Verge" article, which is basically just a SEO summary proxy to the video anyway! Bloomtom (talk) 18:43, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I second this. The article from The Verge did nothing than a small write-up to gain some clicks.

GN did the investigation and published the video.

It should be sourced directly. Herschdorfer (talk) 19:45, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

at the time of writing the opening comment, the YouTube video and the team's website were the only source. Being primary, my concern was that it may be on shaky grounds by itself since it is at this stage allegations that are not confirmed or addressed fully by the other party. Since then, there are more written about the issue, I now don't mind having the video cited alongside with other sources. – robertsky (talk) 02:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

any source reporting they were able to use a fake id to start the rental? which is one of the worst things by law point of view. and so meaningful to report. AlessioT89 (talk) 11:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is off topic, and using a fake ID is not illegal in that context. Bloomtom (talk) 09:04, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
