There have been attempts to recruit editors of specific viewpoints to this page, in a manner that does not comply with Wikipedia's policies. Editors are encouraged to use neutral mechanisms for requesting outside input (e.g. a "request for comment", a third opinion or other noticeboard post, or neutral criteria: "pinging all editors who have edited this page in the last 48 hours"). If someone has asked you to provide your opinion here, examine the arguments, not the editors who have made them. Reminder: disputes are resolved by consensus, not by majority vote. There has been a common misconception that Wikipedia solely relies on mainstream news articles for verifying information. Notability is determined by significant coverage in sources that the community considers credible enough to back up information (books, academic journals, interviews, etc.). In fact, within some fields (e.g. science, history, medicine) that Wikipedia covers, academic sources are heavily used, while news articles are not recommended, if not straight up discouraged. Before posting a source on this talk page, please make sure it has not already been evaluated at Wikipedia:Source assessment/Battle for Dream Island.

This page has archives. Topics inactive for 30 days are automatically archived by ClueBot III if there are more than 5.

Just saying this as an real-life example of "Does this essay apply to other Wikimedia Foundation projects" on the FAQ. See es:Wikipedia:Tablón de anuncios de los bibliotecarios/Portal/Archivo/Protección de artículos/2025/11#Battle for Dream Island for the salt request, es:Wikipedia:Tablón de anuncios de los bibliotecarios/Portal/Archivo/Solicitudes de restauración/2025/11#Restauración de Battle for Dream Island / Batalla por la Isla de Ensueño for the failed restore request, and es:Wikipedia:Café/Portal/Archivo/Ayuda/2025/11#Sobre los convenios de relevancia y Battle for Dream Island when I asked about the difference between the two policies (although I never got a good answer other than "GNG on English WP means nothing to us", anyone else know?)

Well, looking at the reply you got in the last link, it leads to (using gtranslate)[1] "The English Wikipedia was created just a few days ago, and what was published here [es-WP] consisted of incomprehensible machine translations, promotional language, some versions had only one source, and in others, the references were the official YouTube channel or Fandom."

So if that's correct, whoever tried writing the Spanish version did a crappy job, probably without knowing the language, which is obviously needed for translation. If it helps, Spanish WP:N seems to be [2] if you want to compare. Perhaps people at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spain can tell you something relevant, but in general, what happens on other language WP:s is off-topic on en-WP.

We have both

• Wikipedia talk:Why was BFDI not on Wikipedia?/Archives/ 1
• Wikipedia talk:Why was BFDI not on Wikipedia?/Archive 1

And if you use the searchbox, it ignores pages like Wikipedia talk:Why is BFDI not on Wikipedia?/Archive 4. Anyone good at fixing such things, please do. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:33, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, afaict, Wikipedia talk:Why is BFDI not on Wikipedia?/Archive 5 is chronologically followed by Wikipedia talk:Why was BFDI not on Wikipedia?/Archives/ 1. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:59, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved the old "Why is" archives to the current "Why was" title, moved Wikipedia talk:Why was BFDI not on Wikipedia?/Archives/ 1 to Wikipedia talk:Why was BFDI not on Wikipedia?/Archive 6, and fixed the archiving instructions.[3]. You can ping me if the next archiving goes wrong. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:22, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New article, for the interested. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:48, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The notability assessment is covered by the ones for BFDI and SOTU, if interested. ~2025-41302-10 (talk) 21:04, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in mind that even then, portions of WP:BFDI still apply here. I understand you may be glad that BFDI has a page on Wikipedia now, but portions need to still apply, so you don't need to add parts about the show (e.g. characters, references, etc.), because they are not notable or lack documentation from reliable sources. However, if reliable sources start covering these aspects of BFDI, then maybe we could potentially allow these portions to be mentioned on Wikipedia. I hope this message helps.
