summary

"112 Ukraine was deprecated following a 2019 RfC, which showed overwhelming consensus for the deprecation of a slew of sources associated with Russian disinformation in Ukraine. It was pointed out later in a 2020 RfC that 112 Ukraine had not been explicitly discussed in that first discussion prior to its blacklisting request. Further discussion established a rough consensus that the source is generally unreliable, but did not form a consensus for deprecation or blacklisting. The prior blacklisting was reversed as out of process. 112 Ukraine was shut down in 2021; website content is no longer accessible unless archived."

"''CounterPunch'' is a left-wing political opinion magazine. Despite the fact that the publication has an editorial board, there is no effective editorial control over the content of the publication, so articles should be treated as [[Wikipedia:SPS|self-published sources]]. As a consequence, the articles should generally be avoided and should not be used to establish [[Wikipedia:N|notability]] unless published by subject-matter experts writing about subjects within their domain of expertise, in which case they may be considered reliable for facts. Citing ''CounterPunch'' for third-party claims about [[Wikipedia:BLP|living persons]] is [[Wikipedia:BLPSPS|not allowed]]. All articles on ''CounterPunch'' must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, in particular for [[Wikipedia:DUE|due weight]], and opinions must be [[Wikipedia:INTEXT|attributed]]. Some articles in the publication promote conspiracy theories and historical [[Denialism|denialism]], but there was no consensus to deprecate the outlet based on the most recent RfC."

"In the 2017 RfC, the Daily Mail was the first source to be deprecated on Wikipedia, and the decision was challenged and reaffirmed in the 2019 RfC. There is consensus that the Daily Mail (including its online version, MailOnline) is generally unreliable, and its use as a reference is generally prohibited, especially when other sources exist that are more reliable. As a result, the Daily Mail should not be used for determining notability, nor should it be used as a source in articles. The Daily Mail has a "reputation for poor fact checking, sensationalism, and flat-out fabrication". The Daily Mail may be used in rare cases in an about-self fashion. Some editors regard the Daily Mail as reliable historically, so old articles may be used in a historical context. (Note that dailymail.co.uk is not trustworthy as a source of past content that was printed in the Daily Mail.) The restriction is often incorrectly interpreted as a "ban" on the Daily Mail. The deprecation includes other editions of the UK Daily Mail, such as the Irish and Scottish editions. The UK Daily Mail is not to be confused with other publications named Daily Mail that are unaffiliated with the UK paper. The dailymail.com domain was previously used by the unaffiliated Charleston Daily Mail, and reference links to that publication are still present."

"There is consensus that additional considerations apply when considering whether the use of The Needle Drop as a source is appropriate. There is currently strong consensus that Anthony Fantano's reviews that are published via The Needle Drop are self-published sources. There is currently rough consensus that Fantano is considered to be an established subject-matter expert as it pertains to music reviews and that these reviews may be used in an article as attributed opinion. However, per Wikipedia policy regarding self-published sources, these reviews should never be used as third-party claims about living people. There is also currently a rough consensus that Fantano's reviews do not always constitute due weight and that discretion should be applied on a case-by-case basis when determining if a review from The Needle Drop is appropriate to include in a given article. Articles on the theneedledrop.com website are unreliable due to a lack of an editorial policy."

"There is consensus that additional considerations apply when considering whether the use of ''The Needle Drop'' as a source is appropriate. There is currently strong consensus that [[Anthony_Fantano|Anthony Fantano]]'s reviews that are published via ''The Needle Drop'' are [[Wikipedia:SPS|self-published sources]]. There is currently rough consensus that Fantano is considered to be an established subject-matter expert as it pertains to music reviews and that these reviews may be used in an article as ''attributed opinion''. However, per Wikipedia policy regarding self-published sources, these reviews should never be used as [[Wikipedia:THIRDPARTY|third-party claims]] about living people. There is also currently a rough consensus that Fantano's reviews do not always constitute [[Wikipedia:DUE|due weight]] and that discretion should be applied on a case-by-case basis when determining if a review from ''The Needle Drop'' is appropriate to include in a given article. Articles on the theneedledrop.com website are unreliable due to a lack of an editorial policy."

"There is consensus that The Washington Times is a marginally reliable source for politics and science. Most editors agree that it is a partisan source. Some editors noted a history of publishing inaccurate or false information, of being slow to issue retractions or corrections, and of sometimes only doing so under the threat of legal action; a considerable minority favored deprecation on these grounds. The Washington Times is probably suitable for its mundane political coverage, although better sources should be preferred when available. The Washington Times should generally not be used for contentious claims, especially about living persons. A majority of editors regard The Washington Times as generally reliable for topics other than politics and science. Opinion columns are governed by WP:RSOPINION and WP:NEWSBLOG. Some editors observed that The Washington Times has a conflict of interest regarding the Unification movement and related topics."
