Add The Game Awards

FAILED
Not added 1-3. Makkool (talk) 18:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I think we should list a video game award/award ceremony of some sort (we list none), and this one has basically become the video game equivalent of the Grammy Awards  5. And while it's certainly newer (2013, 2003 if you want to count the Spike Video Game Awards), its last two events had well over a hundred million viewers and there's been years where it's viewership has more than doubled from the previous, and that growth probably won't stop any time soon. For comparison, 18.25 million people watched the Grammy's in 2023, while 118 million watched the Game Awards. If added, I propose a new section of the list be added under the Video games section titled "Video game awards", since there's nowhere else that this can reasonably go at the moment.

  1. This shouldn't be added without removing another article, because the section is 31 articles over-quota. Also, Balloon is the wrong article to add to the toy section. I'd support adding Toy balloon if something else was also removed, or it was moved to an under-quota section.Mrfoogles (talk) 22:31, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

  1. If we're talking about party balloons what should actually be added is probably the page Toy balloon, which covers exactly that. Also, Balloon (aeronautics) was already added to the vital articles in the Technology section, and that heavily overlaps with Balloon (most of both their articles go over the same use cases).Mrfoogles (talk) 22:31, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

If I am following correctly, this started because a conservative nonprofit wanted to air a documentary critical of Hillary Clinton during the 2008 U.S. election cycle.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

When I nominated 1989 for V5 status (which I withdrew after it got no responses after a week), I stated that if a Taylor Swift  4 album were to be added, it had to be either that one or Red. I think that nearly all subjects at Vital 4 should have at least one subtopic at Vital 5, and that includes Taylor. So I'll give nominating this one a shot.

Backstory aside, this album received equal or higher critical acclaim than 1989, and appeared on several "best albums of the 2010's" lists with higher average placements than 1989 (its also been considered one of the most important albums of the decade). Out of her original six albums, Red has the highest rating on Metacritic, and her 2021 re-recording of the album is her highest rated work overall (91/100). It's her highest placed album on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time at 99 (for context, 1989 was 383). It's also her first album with songs that reached #1 on charts and is believed to have inspired a generation of indie artists. I'd say this is right on the mark for a V5 album, maybe even more than 1989?

The show that started the franchise was proposed by Piotrus a while back, but was unsuccessful. However, I think we should revisit adding the franchise. Not including this franchise on the list with many of the things we do list is a major oversight. Three shows in the franchise have an awards list separate from the main article, the franchise injected a billion dollars into the British Columbian economy (not every day a media franchise has a major economic impact), and we even have a separate article on the Stargate fandom! 34 interwikis with the first film having 46 and SG-1 having 48, rated High-Importance by WikiProject Television, WikiProject Media Franchises, and WikiProject Science Fiction.

I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier may have been influential at the time but now seems largely forgotten, with low pageviews and it seems largely eclipsed by other famous US protest songs such as those of the civil rights movement. Bella ciao was popularized as an Itlian WW2 partisan song and remains popular and recognized all over the world to this day. Including the former over the latter seems like a case of US-centrism.

Inter is another team that I'm surprised hasn't already been listed, and unlike the Dodgers, I don't think they've ever been nominated. They're currently second in Serie A titles, the only team to play in every Serie A season (although Juventus FC  5 would've joined them if it wasn't for a certain scandal), and third in Italy in terms of trophies won, only 3 trophies behind second placed AC Milan  5. They've also won 3 Champions Leagues, more than Juventus. It's also not a case of recency bias, as a lot of their success has come in the 20th century. Finally, they also get more pageviews on average than both Juventus and AC Milan [3]. In order to prevent the association football section from getting too overcrowded, I nominate Arsenal for removal, as they're the only team I think could possibly be removed at this point (except MAYBE FC Porto  5). Yes, they're third in England in terms of trophies won (also having 3 more trophies than Inter), and they're quite ahead of fourth placed Chelsea, but they're closer to Chelsea and Manchester City in terms of trophies won than they are to Liverpool F.C.  5 and Manchester United F.C.  5. They also have little success in Europe, only winning one major UEFA trophy (and that competition doesn't even exist anymore). Finally, this is more of a minor gripe as well, but of course, they also haven't won the Premier League in 20 years now.

We only list two specific soda brands, one at V4 and one at V5. While I get it might be harder to justify a specific soda brand for vitality over some more broad type of beverage, we can list more than two, and Fanta makes sense. It's existed for eighty years, has some historical significance related to its role as a World War II-era cooking ingredient, is the second most-popular soda brand in Africa, and in general is a globally popular drink; it's more popular in international markets than in the United States.

    How? It has half the interwikis as Fanta (it has even less than Sprite) and doesn't seem to have evidence suggesting wide-spread popularity (just because its sold in Australia or other places doesn't mean its popular there). Part of the reason I'm nominating Fanta is because of how its globally popular regardless of the region. If we chose to add a lot more sodas (e.g. 5 more) then sure, Dr Pepper would be fine, but Fanta and maybe even Sprite should come before it. λ NegativeMP1 17:56, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
    Fair. I actually almost said Sprite, but I switched to Dr Pepper at the last second. I was mostly going by pageviews (which DP destroys Sprite in, I know it isn't everything though [4]), and that DP is the best-selling soda in the US that's not Coke (again, Sprite is not only right behind, but the US isn't the only thing that matters). My opinion still stands on Fanta, and I would rather add Sprite. JpTheNotSoSuperior (talk) 20:09, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Remove Herero language  5

The Niger–Congo languages subsection currently has 31 articles, which definitively could do some trimming when compared to other language subsections. The Herero language is primarily spoken by an ethnic group not listed as VA and only has an estimated 250,000 speakers.

  1. I like the enthusiasm for boldly slashing stuff I do. Unfortunately, I believe human languages to be of vital importance. Many of these only have low or no speakers because of violent genocide against them, colonialism, or a combination, and that is worth remembering. I do support trimming many sections, though.GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 04:24, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
  2. per GeogSage. Niger–Congo languages are a large language family, so naturally we should list more of them. Trimming too much from African languages would make the languages section less balanced. Makkool (talk) 18:02, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
  3. Has by far the most interwikis of the three (66), and as a user stated above, the Herero and Nama genocide  5 significantly reduced their population. 🍋‍🟩 OhnoitsvileplumeXD (talk) 02:17, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

  4. University of California, Santa Barbara  5

University of California  5 is only VA5, the page it is on is 200 articles over the quota, and I don't know why these four campuses were listed over the other six. In my opinion, if we are going to list any UC campus, it should be UC Berkeley. I understand that some people may think that these are vital, but we are well over the quota for this page, and we need to start cutting the less important entries.
