Smosh Games

No third-party sources provided to demonstrate it is notable (except Tubefilter which is just a blogsite for youtube content). Merge anything that might be worth merging, and delete. Otterathome (talk) 18:13, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I deleted the article shortly after it was created, but reverted that two days later, I can't remember why. At the time the only third party source was Tubefilter, and it still is, perhaps Soulbust can further explain the notability of the subject. ZappaOMati and I have mostly been patrolling for vandalism and keeping it up to date, making us the largest editors. Otterathome, I assume by merge, you mean Smosh? 117Avenue (talk) 03:31, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge to Smosh - Insufficient sources and non-trivial content to merit a stand-alone article. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 06:28, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Smosh (parent article). All WP:VG/RS custom Google search hits were for "Honest Games Trailers", which might be able to support its own article (though I wouldn't push it—just build it within the parent and only spin out if necessary). Other than winning the "Streamy", I couldn't find coverage of Smosh Games from news sources, so it makes sense to merge it into its closest article and build out summary style until more sourcing is available. Current article sourcing is mostly primary and the rest is unreliable or passing mentions. czar ♔ 00:35, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
