Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2024 MrBeast controversies
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was merge to MrBeast. Given the clear consensus that there are BLP violations I am weighting that policy more heavily than the requirement an AfD run for at least 1 week (168 hours). While the result is merge, I am going to redirect the article, as a remedy for the BLP issues, rather than leave it tagged for someone else to merge it which might or might not happen in any reasonable time frame. The content will remain in the edit history for someone to appropriately merge. Barkeep49 (talk) 17:43, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

An entire page dedicated to allegations violates WP:BLP. This page does not need to exist, regardless. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 17:17, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

- Wait: we shoukd said, someone is convlicted or the company is investaged we should keep. LuxembourgLover (talk) 18:03, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- There are plenty of companies who have been investigated without separate articles, such as Binance. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 18:43, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge with MrBeast: This is, in essence, a complete BLPVIO, so NOPAGE applies. LuxembourgLover's judgment is phenomenally unsound (Per: this merge discussion}. SerialNumber54129 11:07, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge with MrBeast: for all that this is, just merge the few sentences to the MrBeast article. This isn't an extensive list, worthy of a breakout article. Oaktree b (talk) 18:35, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge with MrBeast: I agree with Oaktree. MrBeast's page already discusses some of his controversies. If more information comes forward and/or is required for proper context, we can simply edit his main page. Rylee Amelia (talk) 20:40, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Speedy merge: to MrBeast. A separate article is not warranted for a few sentences that have already been covered in the main article and gives undue weight to the topic. There has not been anywhere near enough coverage to support that weight. I will also note that there have already been multiple WP:BLP violations in this article and a separate article is only attracting more. C F A 💬 20:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Delete per WP:TOOSOON as well as multiple WP:BLP violationsWarm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 22:17, 4 August 2024 (UTC)- Merge to MrBeast per WP:TOOSOON same my previous but change it to merge Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 22:20, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination's rationale. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 22:31, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to MrBeast. He already has a public image section, which highlights part of this article. Roasted (talk) 02:36, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Wait, as per LuxembourgLover. 68.188.156.135 (talk) 03:25, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge with MrBeast. I agree in that an entire page dedicated to controversies is a WP:BLP violation, but in my opinion the information is notable enough to be included in the MrBeast article, which would keep the information but not give it as much WP:UNDUEWEIGHT. CharlieEdited (talk) 03:31, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to MrBeast, MrBeast hasn't even responded to these potentially false allegations, this is WP:TOOSOON. Maybe if they are proven, then sure. But now, no. Sir MemeGod ._. (talk - contribs - created articles) 06:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also none of these allegations have been proven which is a serious, serious Wikipedia:BLP violation, as everything is still up for speculation. Sir MemeGod ._. (talk - contribs - created articles) 07:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per above two comments. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 04:02, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- •Merge per above comments. Legendarycool (talk) 06:01, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge This page doesn’t really need to exist, having a section on his page is enough The Lone Free Ranger (talk) 12:46, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge as I now understand that this article violates the BLP policy. I apologise for my misunderstanding. Schestos (talk) 04:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Wait, as per LuxembourgLover. Viatori (talk) 07:43, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge There is no reason to have a separate page for this, notwithstanding the possible BLP violations and TOOSOON. This seems just to be made specifically to attack MrBeast. Speederzzz (Talk) (Stalk me) 09:25, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to MrBeast: Nothing substantial to deserve a separate page right now, just put in the main article. Plus, BLP policies violation and all that. Spinixster (trout me!) 09:40, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
