I don't think this meets WP:GNG or, if you want to consider it a true "event", WP:NEVENT. Literally everything about this article, while attributed to reliable sources (minus some references to Gameranx, a Valnet source, and esports.gg which is dubious), is just basic observations that this thing happened and players had the chance to win money through it, but doesn't provide any critical commentary or observations about the event besides those two things. There is no significant coverage on the subject from these sources to be found, and the article itself is just mainly pieced together by content that at its core sounds extremely trivial and unencyclopedic (why do we care that Roblox tweeted clips of YouTubers playing the event, for example). And all of these sources were published within a short amount of time, so WP:SUSTAINED isn't met either. This does not warrant a separate page, and I recommend redirecting it to Roblox. Maybe it could be deleted entirely given that there isn't much to preserve or merge here, but I'd just go with a redirect. λ NegativeMP1 06:52, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Roblox#Events. Concur with the nominator - it's a tricky one but I think reporting on game events tend to reiterate promotional or publisher information and lack much commentary that would suggest WP:NEVENT or otherwise. The Escapist article has some interesting commentary on the event maybe not going so smoothly in the end, but the rest of the sources are iterations of the same thing: it's going to happen, it will have these games, it has a prize, and will occur on this timeframe. All of that's really coming from the publisher. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 07:28, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Another example of Roblox games having shoddy articles created from them just because a young Wikipedian played them and decided it would be a good idea. Absolutely no way this can be rewritten into a moderately acceptable state. MimirIsSmart (talk) 07:31, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete alright. I don't really see much point on an article about a game where you could win a million dollars. Not that I'm really old or anything, but I just don't get the hype over something like this.

Redirect to Roblox per nom. It has enough reliable sources for a two-sentence segment, maybe less. 2601:44:180:98B0:190B:331F:A61A:D86 (talk) 19:25, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move back to Draftspace I might have jumped the gun with moving this article to the mainspace, but I believe we should make it a draft again. The event isn't technically over (the final battle/livestream hasn't happened) and there could be more sources published after the fact that we could use to fix the issues with the article.

redirect to Roblox#Events per WP:TOOSOON. also lack of WP:SIGCOV, making it non-notable. brachy08 _{(chat here lol)} 02:06, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
