• There are large portions of this article that lack citations. Compliance with WP:V is a base requirement to run at DYK, so citations for every statement (at least at the end of every paragraph) are required. Otherwise, I think we could see this article promoted to run at DYK. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:52, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
• After Pbritti's review, Real Ill91 added several citations. However, the article still relies on self-published YouTube videos as sources. These should be replaced by independent, reliable secondary sources. Ideally, independent sources can be found for the multiple instances where the New England Transit site is cited. Otherwise, the article is new enough, long enough, copyvio-free. No QPQ was required. The hook fact checks out and is interesting. Once the sourcing is cleaned up, this will be an interesting item to move forward. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:05, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

@Real Ill91: has not edited since 12 November. I plan on closing this in the next 24 hours if the above is not addressed.--Launchballer 16:25, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Possible Removal of Wikipedia Page

This Wikipedia page was created for a nonsense game that is on Roblox, and need reminder writing an article about your own game is not necessary and violates Wikipedia Code of Conduct. Also could refer to stupid Wikipedia articles that should have not been written to begin with.

Somewhat agree to this comment since it's just plain simple to realise there's a COI. Should we just add the deletion template? Thanyawat Srivajana (talk) 00:21, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

I appreciate the concern for upholding Wikipedia's Code of Conduct. I have already covered the COI on my user page and with moderators during the article's creation. We have also addressed being in compliance with Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. I believe the topic meets Wikipedia's notability critiera, given the several sources on the matter. The article was written in a neutral tone with verifiable, third-party statements. I welcome and encourage any feedback on improving its neutrality and sourcing.
