• Hello! Article created around time of nom, no copyright violations (image fair use). I'd say a few wordings lean towards WP:PUFFERY, but it still mostly feels fine. I wish the sources were a little stronger but to be expected with recent pop culture topics. Otherwise things seem good. I'll tentative approve ALT1 because I think it's more eyecatching, but I can defer to your preference. toobigtokale (talk) 13:32, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Failed good article nomination on December 15, 2023

Upon its review on December 15, 2023, this good article nomination was quick-failed because:

it had an obviously non-neutral treatment of a topic,

thus making it ineligible for good article consideration. According to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, "All Wikipedia articles and other encyclopedic content must be written from a neutral point of view, representing views fairly, proportionately and without bias."

This article did not receive a thorough review, and may not meet other parts of the good article criteria. I encourage you to remedy this problem (and any others) and resubmit it for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a Good article reassessment. Thank you for your work so far.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 21:26, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Having never done a QF before, I do not know why the template created the boilerplate above, but omitted my actual comment, which is: "The article fails NPOV and GNG because it contains only primary sources, which are interviews of the two owners of the media account. Compare this with the current GAN for MrBeast, which has lots of secondary sources."--WriterArtistDC (talk) 21:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

@WriterArtistDC: I have withdrawn my nomination. I think you're right about this, and while each of the interviews have interviewers providing secondary source information as well: I don't think it's enough, even if the article was theoretically good on everything else. I feel stupid, that was a pretty rookie mistake 😅 Cheers! Johnson524 04:32, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
