Self-promotional page for a non-notable web animation (fails
WP:PROMOTION). The article has been deleted/recreated several times in the recent past, but there's no indication anything has changed (as Garbage Can Man and The Garbage Can Man Show, along with several related and similar non notable articles). The creating user has likely been previously banned for sockpuppetry relating to the article subject (see Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Daveydolphin). It should be noted the sockmaster tends to cite seemingly-credible user-generated content to create a false appearance of notability (which is the case here), as well as using socks to participate in deletion discussions for his own articles. The present article appears to now be offering false viewership statistics (these videos for the most part have <100 views, not millions). GretLomborg (talk) 14:56, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
