# Talk:Dylan and Cole Sprouse

Hi, i noticed Riverdale is not listed in his work?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.20.92.126 (talk) 21:03, 8 February 2019 (UTC) 

Hi, 98.20.92.126. That's not included here because this article is about the period of their career in which they were frequently sharing roles. Cole Sprouse, a page just about Cole, does in fact list his work on Riverdale. - Purplewowies (talk) 22:37, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello everyone. I would like to clarify a doubt here. Has there been any discussion prior to this regarding the existence of the aforementioned actors' individual pages? This doubt has arisen in me due to the fact that the information given here seems to be somewhat similar to that of their individual pages. Please do clarify my query.
Thanking you in advance. 2409:4071:D9E:3A06:C807:CF00:1AF8:D622 (talk) 17:17, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Take a look at Talk:Dylan and Cole Sprouse/Archive 1#Separate articles for each?; there was consensus to split their separate activities into individual articles for the two of them in 2017, and there is some duplicated content to those articles in the interest of summarizing their early lives and shared career just a tad before explaining their separate careers. (I think this was done so the article didn't just abruptly start in, like, 2017 with no explanation of anything that occurred prior.) But yes, there has been discussion before about separate versus shared pages, and it is currently deliberate and in line with consensus that both of them exist. - Purplewowies (talk) 00:37, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:

There is not much information post-2011, even though it seems like they were active in their careers. There seems to be no post-2018 information.
Later parts of the article have short paragraphs, which should be formatted more effectively.
Unreliable sources like IMDB and reddit are used in the article: these should be replaced with better sources or the text verified by the information removed.
Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 19:02, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

They weren't really active in their careers for the most part during college (fall 2011 to spring 2015) and didn't really become very active again until about 2017. There's little to no post-2018 information in part because there was a discussion in (primarily) 2017 that ended with consensus that their shared activities (virtually entirely pre-college) get discussed in this article and their careers as largely separate actors (primarily post-college) get discussed in split articles for the two of them (with the thought expressed by the closer that it's unlikely this article would change much to cover those separate activities). However, I personally have occasionally tried to figure out if completely leaving it out is actually a good choice or not, considering this is a GA. Regarding the unreliable sources, it looks like the sole Reddit source is to an AMA that is verifiably Dylan, at least... though the source would at that point still be primary. So if a secondary source is around, that might be a better choice. ...I'm actually surprised there are IMDb sources in the article because I was the primary person improving it last GA review and that source would almost definitely have been there back then... and I knew back then too that IMDb was not an appropriate source... *slinks away in embarrassment because what the heck* (I suspect better sources exist for both of the IMDb sources at least, since they're for hopefully-not-obscure award noms/wins.)
...All that said, I'm of the mind that it's worth reassessing any GA after awhile, even if just to ensure it definitely is still GA, so personally I'm not against the idea of GAR. Even if the mentioned issues were to get fixed prior to it actually getting reassessed. - Purplewowies (talk) 00:34, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
@Purplewowies: Are you interested in fixing up the article? Of course, there is no obligation to do so. Z1720 (talk) 00:57, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
@Z1720: I mean... deep in my soul I'd like to say I'm interested, but my editing stamina is lower these days so I suspect that even if I wholeheartedly agreed, I'd not end up doing what I said I would in anything resembling a timely manner... - Purplewowies (talk) 02:38, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

There is not much information post-2011, even though it seems like they were active in their careers. There seems to be no post-2018 information. There was discussion on the article's talk page about whether this information should be added, or whether it belongs on their respective pages (or perhaps this page should be merged into their pages, and a AfD should be opened?) Later parts of the article have short paragraphs, which should be formatted more effectively. Unreliable sources like IMDB and reddit are used in the article: these should be replaced with better sources or the text verified by the information removed.

As Kids they had a significant career working together but this ended with their focus on school and then their separate projects. I do not think anything should be merged here as that would create too much duplicate content. There should be better, more easily findable links to their separate pages though.--Denniss (talk) 17:27, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
