No QPQ needed, as this is the creator's first nomination. Article is new enough and long enough. Hooks are interesting and cited, but ALT1 is a bit less interesting than the others and ALT2 could be a bit more pithy. Some Earwig triggers with direct copy-pasting of a few sentences, e.g. The University of Akron was willing to loan their campus, platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime were interested in buying the streaming rights for Streamer University. Those need to be cleaned up, but that is the only problem I see. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 20:35, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Proposal to split "Legal issues" section
[edit]Proposal: I propose splitting the "Legal issues" section into a standalone article titled Gottfried v. Night Media, Inc. et al.
Rationale:
- Article Depth: The current legal situation has garnered significant external attention, and the existing section size warrants a more detailed, focused entry to maintain article balance in accordance with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Summary_style Summary Style guidelines].
- Neutrality and Verification: I am proposing this split to ensure the content remains neutral, verifiable, and encyclopedic. I invite uninvolved editors to review the sources and the proposed text to ensure it adheres to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV Neutral Point of View] standards.
- Supporting Documentation: The case has been covered by several independent media outlets, confirming its public notability:

Removal and long-term scope of participant tables
[edit]There have been multiple edits adding participant lists to the Streamer University article. These additions have generally been removed due to concerns that a complete list of participants may fall under WP:NOTDIR (Wikipedia is not a directory). Currently, the article contains "Faculty" and "Students" sections that list individuals involved with Streamer University. I would like to seek consensus on whether these lists are appropriate for inclusion, and if so, what scope they should have.
Rationale
[edit]I believe that the tables in the article should be removed for these reasons:
- WP:NOTDIR (Wikipedia is not a directory): Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a complete directory, roster, or attendee log for events. Including exhaustive tables listing many "notable" individuals participant—regardless of how minor their role was during the stream—conflicts directly with WP:NOTDIR.
- WP:TMI: WP:TMI emphasizes evaluating the encyclopedic significance of content. Routine or trivial notes currently included in the tables (e.g., "Presented Kai Cenat with a live rat as a gift..." or "Unboxed Drake's gifted care package...") add excessive, low-level detail that lacks long-term encyclopedic value.
Proposed Action: Establish a local consensus to permanent removal of "Faculty", "Students", and general participant table directories from this article (both for current and future annual iterations). Significant, heavily covered involvement (e.g., primary organizers or widely cited guest segments) should be covered strictly through natural narrative prose. eve the eternal (hi) 01:40, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
