This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Games: board, card, etc. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Games|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Games: board, card, etc. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

unlike $456,000 Squid Game in Real Life!, this video has received no critical analysis, and received no sustained coverage. most of the article is about the content of the video. ltbdl☃ (talk) 09:18, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

- Keep: coverage seems independent and significant so that deletion is not necessary in my opinion. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 12:31, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Leaning delete: MrBeast is a very popular figure, his videos get millions and millions of views, and as such I've seen so many outlets (many of them tabloid-y) report on his videos. We need to be cautious on what counts for notability. The sources used here are very limited, some of them interviews with the contestants (which are primary) and as pointed out, no sustained coverage can be found, thus why I'm leaning delete. Can also be easily merged/redirected to MrBeast as an WP:ATD. Spinixster (trout me!) 14:48, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- merge for now A Google News search turns up very little. The sources in the article are okay, but not great. I hate using "mainstream media coverage" as a bar, but I'm shocked by just how little mainstream media coverage there is. The coverage in the article may be over the WP:N bar, I'm not sure. But editorially I think we're better off with a merge to an appropriate Mr. Beast page. I'll not be shocked by more coverage coming out in the next few months (and probably in a book or two in the next year or so). And that may cause us to reconsider. But for now, I think a merge is the best outcome. Hobit (talk) 18:14, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding "I think we're better off with a merge to an appropriate Mr. Beast page", MrBeast#Mainstream success (2021–2024) is the only candidate for a merge I can find. A merge to that article would be undue weight. Are there other articles you had in mind? I am open to a merge if several paragraphs of this article can be merged to the target article (which would not be possible with MrBeast#Mainstream success (2021–2024)). Cunard (talk) 08:56, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Leaning towards Delete. Most of the sources given and I found on ths internet has is little, but as Hobit said, it may soon be so Draftify-ing it could also be a solution Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 12:49, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete or redirect for now to any suitable Mr. Beast article per Itbdl's comments since this video has little encyclopedic importance nor gaining any significant coverage by media. Unless more sources are found, this article can have its own page. Galaxybeing (talk) 04:37, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
Summary of sources50 YouTubers Fight for $1,000,000 is a YouTube video. The relevant notability criterion is Wikipedia:Notability (web)#Criteria, which says:
Just like for films and television series, there is no requirement for web content like YouTube videos to have received sustained coverage in reliable sources.Keeping in mind that all articles must conform with the policy on verifiability to reliable sources, and that non-independent and self-published sources alone are not sufficient to establish notability; web-specific content may be notable based on meeting one of the following criteria:
The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations
This YouTube video received significant coverage in multiple countries:
- Chile: La Tercera
- Pakistan: The Express Tribune
- South Korea: Maeil Business Newspaper
- Uruguay: El Observador
The only candidate for a merge I can find is MrBeast#Mainstream success (2021–2024). A merge to that article would either be undue weight or would result in the loss of too much sourced encyclopedic content. If consensus is against a standalone article, however, the article should redirect to MrBeast#Mainstream success (2021–2024), where the video is already mentioned.

The article notes: "In a thrilling turn of events, JaidenAnimations emerged victorious in MrBeast's $1 million YouTuber challenge, where 50 of the biggest creators were confined in a cube, battling various challenges. The task, simple on paper, demanded mental and physical endurance as contestants navigated eliminations through basketball shots, a Squid Game-inspired sugar cookie challenge, and a high-stakes Jenga competition."

The article notes from Google Translate: "On this occasion, the American youtuber launched "50 Youtubers fight for $1,000,000," a record of more than 40 minutes that portrays how some of the most famous content creators in the world gathered to perform a challenge and earn a millionaire sum of money. ... For his YouTube channel, MrBeast held a massive meeting that included 50 content creators from different countries. Ibai Llanos, El Rubius, Logan Paul, Nil Ojeda, Kai Cenat and KSI were some of the figures who joined the meeting. ... However, some influencers were not very happy with their participation. This is the case of the Spanish Ibai Llanos, who said that although in general the experience was positive, he considers that Spanish-speaking YouTubers did not have the same prominence as Americans."

The article notes: "The video focuses on a competition where 50 of the most important creators in the world, including prominent names such as Mark Rober, Quackity, and others, are locked in glass boxes. The last one to go out would earn a million dollars. During the recording, participants had to face several challenges, such as throwing a basket to win a Cybertruck for a subscriber. Fede participates in a challenge inspired by the Squid Game series, where he must cut a cookie in the shape of an umbrella. In the end, he loses in this challenge and is eliminated. Jaiden Animations, an influencer with 13 million followers, managed to keep the first place and promised to use that amount to send several of her fans to the art school."

WP:INDISCRIMINATE. A list of whoever won each episode of a panel game show is not worthy of an encyclopedia. --woodensuperman 14:58, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete – Normally, I would argue episode lists for a notable TV show are WP:SIZESPLITs from the main series article and therefore notability for the show would factor in to some degree; however, when episodes are aired on a daily basis, listing that information is more WP:INDISCRIMINATE and wouldn't be included in the main article, so the episode list doesn't warrant a split to its own page.
