@PerfectSoundWhatever: This article seems to meet the GA criteria. Do you plan on nominating it? Skyshifter talk 00:27, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

You're probably right. I'll throw it in, why not. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 04:32, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
Ehm... would I be breaking any rules if I reviewed this now? Skyshifter talk 02:38, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
I don't think so, technically — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 03:42, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Not going to bother nominating this to AfD, but ... seriously? This random video got an article?! InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:14, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

@InfiniteNexus: When pieces of media get significant coverage pieces in The Los Angeles Times, The Independent, The Verge, The Guardian, NME, Vice News, CNET, etc. etc. we tend to have a reason to cover them. Consider your internal biases here: if this was a television article of a big series with 3-5 high quality sources, would you be questioning its notability? Especially if 500 million people had seen it.
There is nothing random about this video: it's the most viewed (non-short) video from the second largest YouTube channel. As well, it generated significant buzz for its giant production size and its controversial nature. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 01:08, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
"Random video"? I don't know if you looked at the article in its entirety or just noticed it was about a YouTube video, but PerfectSoundWhatever explained above perfectly why this article is valid. Just because the topic of this article is Internet culture, doesn't mean it isn't notable; Wikipedia also cover those topics, even if it's specifics like a single YouTube video. This article meets all Wikipedia policies and guidelines including notability. Skyshifter talk 02:37, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Very minor thing, but the thumbnail of the video has been changed so that MrBeast's mouth is now closed. Should we change the infobox image to the new thumbnail or keep it the same? It might not make a difference either way. TheWikiToby (talk) 03:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

I updated it since the thumbnail shown on YouTube should be shown on Wikipedia aswell. Knglcs (talk) 10:27, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Should be merged into Mrbeast 2605:8D80:420:39C1:7D8C:C44F:33C9:8042 (talk) 13:49, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

No, seriously. Henhenboben (talk) 14:29, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
