Delete The GNIS has myriad housing subdivisions listed in Phoenix before 1984, when it apparently stopped being updated, and this is one of them:
[1] Per
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Autumn Ridge, Arizona, these subdivisions do not pass
WP:GEOLAND #1 (there must be thousands in the Phoenix metro area), has a Scottsdale address, and there is no indication this place passes
WP:GNG either as a neighborhood. I've extensively searched for this one as well.
SportingFlyerT·C06:34, 8 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Delete GEOLAND quite clearly states that "subdivisions...housing developments...unofficial neighborhoods" must meet GNG, and there is zero evidence that this does so. Existence is not notability.
Reywas92Talk09:32, 8 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Delete like the others, the GNIS entry is sourced only to "Living: the Phoenix Housing Guide V. 6 #1. Dallas, Texas: Baker Publish Inc., 1983/1984." This is just another NN subdivision specifically excluded under GEOLAND#2 as presumed notable. Must therefore meet GNG.

Delete This is just one of thousands of small sub-divisions in the Phoenix metro area. This showed up in GNIS merely because it was listed in "Living: the "Phoenix Housing Guide V. 6 #1. Dallas, Texas: Baker Publish Inc., 1983/1984." and seems to have been a mistake or premature listing as according to the Maricopa GIS, that area is part of the Western Meadows subdivision and the only Amberwoods of any kind are far away in Chandler. It is not a populated place per GEOLAND#1 and fall far short of GNG required for GEOLAND#2. No place to redirect this one.
MB03:53, 8 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Weak delete This is a bit of a weird one. Amberwood North itself is a mere pre-1984 housing subdivision, which fails
WP:GEOLAND #1 as it's part of a larger community. See
[2] for an advertisement and proof it's not a standalone populated place. However, in 2006, a group of residents in
Chandler, Arizona, probably 30 miles away as the crow flies, got together and named their neighborhood Amberwood North. (What's weird though is most of the coverage of the neighborhood comes from 2006.) So, this particular subdivision is not notable and needs to be deleted, but Amberwood North, Arizona may actually be a marginally valid article per
WP:GNG.

Delete GEOLAND quite clearly states that "subdivisions...housing developments...unofficial neighborhoods" must meet GNG, and there is zero evidence that this does so.

There's a decent amount of coverage, including how the neighborhood association put the name on all of the street signs. I think someone could clean it up and get it past
WP:GNG without a whole lot of work. But that digresses from the subdivision the topic currently discusses.

Oppose: Not even remotely unrelated. The "Goblin" family is a notable lineage of supervillains in the Marvel Universe that are connected to one another. There have even recent storylines (such as "Goblin Nation") where the premise is Norman Osborn or some iteration of the Hobgoblin leading an army of all the different goblins. Virtually all of them are also tied to the Osborn bloodline or the Goblin formula in some way. Given that many of these characters are also notable enough to have articles of their own, there is no basis for a deletion. The deletion rationale is presumptuous and misinformed. DarkKnight214922:07, 7 December 2019 (UTC)reply
There's the Goblin-themed characters, related characters through the "Goblin Formula", and sets of actual goblins. Three different headers of unrelated characters. None of them establish notability. Even if you reduce this to the Goblin-themed characters, they do not currently establish notability as a group.
TTN (

22:18, 7 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Again, wrong. I just scrolled through the entire list, and literally every single character on there is connected to Norman Osborn or the Goblin formula. And the subject matter is definitely notable enough to maintain the hub page. Many of the characters even have articles of their own. Your rationale is objectively false. DarkKnight214922:26, 7 December 2019 (UTC)reply
If you want to be pedantic, yes the "Goblin Formula" itself is related to the Goblin-themed, but the characters are not directly related to the themed characters. You're also ignoring "Goblins (species)." But at the end of the day, this is a pointless discussion because this article still fails
WP:GNG. You're trying to frame this as some ignorant assault on comics, but GNG is all that matters.
TTN (

22:32, 7 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Except, again, what you are claiming is incorrect. All of the characters are connected to one another and tie back to Norman Osborn in some way. The fact that you claim otherwise just demonstrates your lack of awareness for the page you want deleted. This is a hubpage for the lineage of supervillains known as the Goblins. That being said, I'm not sure who added Goblin (species), but that section should be removed for being off-topic with the rest of the article. However, that section alone doesn't justify going nuclear and deleting the whole page. I'm not being "pedantic", you are just wrong. DarkKnight214922:40, 7 December 2019 (UTC)reply
There are either sources or no sources. That's the only remaining relevant topic of discussion. If there are real world sources discussing the group as a whole, it should be retained. If there are no sources discussing the group, it should be removed.
TTN (

22:45, 7 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Except this topic (and the characters in it) has received third party coverage, the article is primarily a hubpage and many of the characters in it have pages of their own, and the Goblin lineage is very prominent in Marvel Comics and the subject is notable to the topic of
WP:COMICS. There is definitely a basis for deleting the Goblin (species) section, but no basis for deleting the entire article. At this point, I would advise you to open a larger discussion expressing your concerns against the WikiProject before making anymore nominations. This discussion alone is making me genuinely concerned about the validity of the mass deletion nominations. DarkKnight214922:54, 7 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Notability is not inherited, from the group to the character or the character to the group. For this article to remain standing, the group itself needs to establish notability. If there are sources, provide enough to show without a shadow of a doubt it's notable. This is why I'm saying you're being pedantic. You're harping on the most minor detail of this and acting like it at all matters in the discussion. There are not enough people related to the project who seem to care about the obvious issue with these hundreds upon hundreds of articles that fail GNG, so I don't think they can help unless they want to enact an actual mass cleanup project to determine notable vs non-notable topics. There are hundreds of notable characters and topics, but there are also many hundreds more that aren't notable.

@
TTN: First of all, you have been on this site long enough to know what hub pages and disambiguation pages are. Don't play dumb. And no one is being pedantic when you yourself cited "a collection of unrelated topics" as a primary reason for why this article should be deleted (which you have yet to strike, despite having been thoroughly proven wrong). The only valid argument you have presented is a section. It's pretty obvious that all you are doing is skimming through articles that you have no familiarity with and boldly marking them for deletion. At this point, multiple users have expressed their exasperation with these haphazard deletion discussions. If you have a problem with the WikiProject, then the onus is on you to open a larger discussion and express your concerns. In fact, there actually
havebeen discussions where groups of users have complained about the WikiProject and claimed that there is some sort of
WP:CABAL /
ownership conspiracy at
WP:COMICS, and the consensus has been against them. These deletion spammings are just a way for you to bypass any discussion and are borderline
WP:POINTy.
As for notability, the group as a whole is very prevalent in comic books and the page itself is a hubpage that branches off into other articles. Try pulling this with other hub pages and disambiguation pages, and see how that works out for you. You want sources? Here are some right here:
[3],
[4],
[5],
[6],
[7],
[8],
[9],
[10].
Just because an article is Start-Class or the sources haven't been cited yet doesn't mean they don't exist. You need to stop scrolling to the "References" section of articles and indiscriminately tagging them for deletion. Raise your concerns at
WT:COMICS or another appropriate venue. DarkKnight214922:39, 8 December 2019 (UTC)reply
What is with you people harping on some nonsensical argument? The Goblins, "random people who drank the serum", and Goblins (creatures) are three separate topics. I don't care that the serum drinkers are tangentially related. They are not goblins. That is my point of saying that it's multiple topics on one page. But at the end of the day, that's still irrelevant. If you want to turn this into an actual dab page with just the Goblin names, I'll withdraw this right now, but hub pages are not dab pages. They do not get to exist just because, especially when used to collect a bunch of non-notable topics. Collections of useless sources do not establish notability.
TTN (

22:47, 8 December 2019 (UTC)reply
And it has been repeatedly explained to you that they are not "random" or "tangentially related", the serum is what creates the Goblins to begin with. The entire article is the exact same topic except "Goblin (species)" (which doesn't belong). You continue to push a narrative after it has been repeatedly explained to you why you are wrong. The article is one topic, with a single disembodied section that
Rtkat3 added much later about the species. That "Characters exposed to the Goblin Formula" section lists a character who tied and failed to turn himself into a goblin (the same supervillain group that this article is about), a test subject for the man who became Hobgoblin, someone who briefly became a goblin, and an off-shoot to the Green Goblin (Norman Osborn). It is on-topic with the rest of the article. The only thing that isn't is "Goblin (species)".

DarkKnight214923:48, 8 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Repeating it over and over doesn't make it true. And as mentioned, those sources do not in any way establish notability for the grouping. Most of those simply confirm the existence of the topic without providing actual significant coverage.

Yes, that was the ultimate result of the mass redirects, but if you look at my AfD history, I made many, many hundreds of AfDs (over 1000 maybe?) after that. That is my main and primary interest, and it has been my general style of editing any time I've been active the last decade. I have not a single block since 2008 despite that. I'd honestly have no idea where to look, but I'm quite sure someone complained about it on ANI but it was dismissed because I'm using official channels seeking out consensus. If you want to undo every single prod I make, feel free. That's within your right. I just do it to save time at AfD. As for BEFORE, you have no idea what I do or don't do. That's always a pointless criticism. My goal is the reduction of non-notable fiction to spur on the creation of notable fiction due to the inherent stagnation that comes with dozens or hundreds of plot articles. The only people who seem to ever really disagree with that end goal (though there have been like minded people who do disagree with my editing style) are extreme inclusionists like the many times banned

A non-notable organization. I searched for sources under both its original name, as well as its later name of "Religious Society of St Simon", and came up with nothing. Note that there was an older organization with the same name from the 19th century that some results appeared for, but they seem to be completely unrelated to the group that this article is about.

The result was delete and redirect to
Sydney New Year's Eve. Deletion of the 2008-2009 article is unanimously endorsed at DRV, and the consensus here is that the others are all relevantly similar. The earlier years were created as redirects, so for consistency and preservation of links I will recreate these as redirects after deletion.

Comment - I've also sought a deletion review of the original article as it was far from clear there was consensus. The arguments for deletion consisted of editors saying they didn't think the article was "worthwhile", which is not a valid argument for deletion.

Delete (or replace by redirect). The level of detail in these articles (e.g. "Before Ten went to a commercial break, a recording was done of some of the events that happened in 2007. After the break, Kim Watkins interviewed a man named Richard Watson, a trends forecaster.") is excessive. The head article is sufficient. DexDor(talk)07:05, 8 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Delete all- Although
Sydney New Year's Eve is a notable and worthwhile topic, it dosn't follow that individual editions are. The individual years are already covered in appropriate depth at the main article. These ones are all really really banal trivia, and would only be distracting clutter if merged.

Delete All This all seems like a giant broadcast or tv guide or playlist, it is difficult to imagine just who would think it'd be a good idea to have articles on individual new years' celebrations. Even when something noteworthy happens at one, like
Mariah Carey bombing at
Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve a few years ago, it is a 2-3 sentence blurb on the main article, not an article on the entire night itself. The "people hail 2011's New Years' Eve celebration a success!" citation is just routine news of the next day.

Delete: With about 35,000 aircraft types have been flown, this article is ridiculously incomplete. However if it were completed it would be well beyond unwieldy as to be of no encyclopedic value at all and require splitting by year. Overall this article falls afoul of our policy
WP:INDISCRIMINATE. This sort of thing is much better handled by the existing system of categories. -

Delete. There is some value in being able to answer questions like "Which order did these planes that interest me fly in?" or "Which planes flew within three months of this one?" so I have some sympathy for the aims of the article creator. But far the best way to achieve that is with a searchable database. A dumb list of every type flown is totally unsuitable: the
list of aircraft has had to be divided into nearly 100 pages to make it manageable, in the process creating nearly 99 page breaks which get in the way of answering such questions easily. — Cheers,

Keep, because the deletion arguments don't make sense. The deleters pose that the list-article can't work out in the future due to various misplaced fears.
It is supposed that the list-article will become too large because there exist 35,000 aircraft types, ignoring fact that Duh, if it grew too big, it could be split. Note we have many list-article systems that are larger and which pose no problems (I happen to work mostly on the system of places listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, which covers about a million(!) places individually listed or listed in historic districts)
It is supposed that splitting would have to be done by date of first flight. No, that is simply not the only way to split. Splitting could be done by size of plane, by large types/groupings of plane, by continent/nation/other geographical approach.
It is supposed that the list will be indiscriminate, but in fact the list is obviously selective, and there are various ways it could be explicitly so.
How is this obvious? Right now, it is not clear how all 35000 entries (for all aircraft) would be selective, nor is it evident how all the entries fulfill
WP:CSC (notability for each entry). I am open to more detailed reasoning, so I invite you to elaborate on how it meets these criteria.

It is complained that the list is incomplete, at the same time as it is complained that being complete would be bad. Hey, please make up your mind!
It is supposed that the list will be developed in a dumb way and be unwieldy, so it is better for readers interested to be confronted with unmanaged categories, instead. Hah! Well, all the suggested fears apply worse for categories, which basically are unmanaged/unmanageable. If a list would be indiscriminate, then a category is worse. A list-based approach to presentation allows for management, i.e. selective presentation or intelligent ordering or other editing to make the list work, which can't easily be done by categories.
"Delete" voters seem unaware of
wp:CLNT guideline that points out categories and list-articles are complementary and that essentially if a category exists then usually a list-article is justified and vice versa.
Indeed they do, but it's not a requirement that a category must have an associated list or vice versa. The merit of this list and its associated category must specifically be discussed.

Speedy keep does not cover reasons you might disagree with or unsound arguments (if that is the case), only cases in which the nominator does not advance a rationale and no other user !votes delete; it is thus not appropriate here. Considering that there are already four delete !votes with some rationale, it's better (and in process) at this point to let the discussion play out.

Majority of the sources are primary, the remainder (except perhaps nzherald) are gossip sources or are sourced on controversial facebook posts about her. Pretty much all of the coverage I see about her in (semi-)reliable sources ends up at a controversy about her real age and whether she and other teen "internet personalities" are being exploited, and again, most of them are either gossip-type sources or end up being sourced to Facebook. Between her notability looking like
WP:BLP1E and the low-quality sources talking about controversy involving a
minor, I think deletion is appropriate.

The page has been modified to take account of earlier comments, and the above statements are no longer true. The chart displayed is simply a graphic of data which exists elsewhere in Wikipedia, to show a comparision between the two elections. There is no 'cherry-picking' of data, and there is no calculation of moving averages which might create a window to display synthesis, bias, opinion, write an essay, or make things up. The data cannot be viewed as indiscriminate unless the data in the source Wikipedia pages is deemed indiscriminate. The matter is clearly of public interest, and has been a topic of discussion in, eg, the Telegraph. This page provides data to enable readers to form their own views.

The chart displayed is simply a graphic of data which exists elsewhere in Wikipedia You fail to understand that this is the issue itself. No, the fact that some data exists "elsewhere in Wikipedia" does not mean that you can compilate it on your own and presentate it the way you think looks best. That's outright
synthesis. You need sources
verifying this specific compilation in order for you to be able to justify such presentation and, by extent, the article itself. That The matter is clearly of public interest, and has been a topic of discussion in, eg, the Telegraph (of which, btw, you have still provided no source backing such a claim) does not justify you going around and making your own compilation of data. Plus, this by itself won't even justify the creation of a stand-alone article, since depending on the topic's notability it could be covered in one or two sentences within another article. How is the topic covered in sources? Does it show such a presentation of polling data? Does it merit a whole article? Note Wikipedia's policy on
undue prominence,
notability guidelines for article creation and so on. Plus the unchanged (and uncontested) fact that you have created the article to override the lack of a consensus at
Opinion polling for the 2019 United Kingdom general election for having your data presented there.
So far, this is just your own compilation of data, and changes conducted haven't changed that (if anything, you're further ellaborating on the fact that this is purely synthesis material).
Impru20talk14:14, 7 December 2019 (UTC)reply
I would be more than happy to see this chart where I originally put it in the 2019 polling page.
I can take on board that the move to create a new page may have seemed petulant. It may have been to some extent. I wanted to get the data up, but didn't want to engage in an edit war (that worked), and I could see that the idea that the comparison didn't belong in the 2019 or 2017 pages per se actually had some merit. So I was content to see it go elsewhere.
I accept that the first version of the page arguably contained too much original content. I don't think the new version does.
There is a page at the Telegraph titled "Boris leads 12 points polls chart shows entering danger zone" (sadly behind a paywall but with free access on registration) shows that comparison between the two elections is notable. In any case, the fact that the last election saw the Labour party catch up with the Conservatives means that one cannot form an informed opinion on current polling without understanding when in the campaign and how fast that happened. For example, if all of the change was in the last week, and the Labour party is now less far behind than it was at this stage, then the Conservatives might be in a precarious position. Sure, one can flick between the 2017 and 2019 pages to try and get a feel, but we have computers to do that for us. In fact, I spent a few weeks doing exactly that before I created the spreadsheet for my own information.
Lastly, these facts may or may not be common currency. However, that doesn't make them wrong. There is always someone first to notice something.
The facts as presented on the page may make uncomfortable reading for some, but the display of ALL available data cannot be construed as having any political bias, in my view. That is what the page now does.

You seem to have an entirely wrong vision of how Wikipedia works.
I wanted to get the data up, but didn't want to engage in an edit war It doesn't matter how badly you wish to "get the data up". If other people revert you, then that means that you do not have a consensus for your edits and that you must seek one for it. Rather than doing that, you attempted to circumvent such a lack of consensus by creating a brand new article without even caring to previously confirm whether it did meet Wikipedia's criteria for article creation. This was
not a good idea at all and could have been considered nigh to disruptive.
I accept that the first version of the page arguably contained too much original content. I don't think the new version does You only changed the chart. It doesn't matter whether you use averages or just compile the polls without any trendline, the issue is not on how you present the data, but on the fact that you cherry-pick this data (i.e. from a specific time period in 2017 and from a specific time period in 2019) and bring it together pretending to show a comparison, while concurrently unilaterally considering yourself that this merits a whole chart, and then a full-fledged article in Wikipedia.
There is a page at the Telegraph titled "Boris leads 12 points polls chart shows entering danger zone" (sadly behind a paywall but with free access on registration) shows that comparison between the two elections is notable So it basically looks like the only source that could somehow justify your action is paywalled. You know, notability is not achieved just because one source makes a limited comparison (which is, btw, unable to be confirmed by users not registered at the Telegraph).
Take some time to get you accommodated to Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I would say that The Telegraph source would, at most, justify a brief mention at either
2019 United Kingdom general election or
Opinion polling for the 2019 United Kingdom general election. Definitely not a full chart and much less a full-fledged article on such a topic, because you don't do such things from a single source making a loose connection that then you re-interpret and compilate on your own.
In any case, the fact that the last election saw the Labour party catch up with the Conservatives means that one cannot form an informed opinion on current polling without understanding when in the campaign and how fast that happened. For example, if all of the change was in the last week, and the Labour party is now less far behind than it was at this stage, then the Conservatives might be in a precarious position. Sure, one can flick between the 2017 and 2019 pages to try and get a feel, but we have computers to do that for us. In fact, I spent a few weeks doing exactly that before I created the spreadsheet for my own information. This is exactly what
WP:SYNTH means. No, just because something happened in 2017 does not mean it will happen again in 2019. No, just because you think it is important does not turn it into important. No, just because you see one source saying A and another one saying B does not mean that you should mix it to get conclusion C. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. If you want to state that A + B = C, then get sources explicitly making such a connection. If you want to create an article about how A + B = C, make sure to confirm whether such a topic is
notable enough to merit an article of its own.
Lastly, these facts may or may not be common currency. However, that doesn't make them wrong. There is always someone first to notice something. And it is nice for someone to be the first at noticing something, but Wikipedia is not for this. Sincerely, you only keep confirming that you did this out of your own invention just because you thought it was a good idea. This is exactly what Wikipedia is NOT for.
It is not possible that this is original research. It is a graphic of data which exists elsewhere in Wikipedia. There may be reasons for deletion, but that can't be one of them.

Circular referencing is explicitly discouraged under
WP:V: Do not use articles from Wikipedia (whether this English Wikipedia or Wikipedias in other languages) as sources. Taking content from other articles, then making it up in your own way to write your own article without confirming if such a content is reported by sources in the way you present it, IS original research.

It took me a long time to figure out what this was, wasn't on any topo maps before 1983, but it turns out it's just a housing subdevelopment from the early 1980s (the GNIS database doesn't have many entries after 1984.) It's not a "populated place" per
WP:GEOLAND #1 as it's not a standalone town or hamlet (if it's notable under this, then every subdivision in Phoenix would qualify), and it's not a notable neighborhood per
WP:GNG, as all I can find are advertisements peddling houses.
[15] This is difficult to search for because there is a notable
Basking Ridge, New Jersey which dilutes the results - I used "Basking Ridge" "Bell Road" and "Basking Ridge" "Scottsdale" in my
WP:BEFORE.

Comment - just to correct some misconceptions regarding GNIS and whether or not they are a reliable source for this type of Gazetteer information. All the following information is taken directly from the USGS website (emphasis added is mine):
The U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) is a Federal body created in 1890 and established in its present form by Public Law in 1947 to maintain uniform geographic name usage throughout the Federal Government.
Decisions of the BGN were accepted as binding by all departments and agencies of the Federal Government.
It serves the Federal Government and the public as a central authority to which name problems, name inquiries, name changes, and new name proposals can be directed.
The GNIS Feature ID, Official Feature Name, and Official Feature Location are American National Standards Institute standards.
The database holds the Federally recognized name of each feature and defines the feature location by state, county, USGS topographic map, and geographic coordinates.

Keep While he is primarily notable for one event, and I considered invoking
WP:1E, I believe he passes
WP:ANYBIO because him catching the taipan and the research it has allowed for "has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field." The article is also well sourced and currently includes coverage from multiple independent sources. --

Keep: I spent quite a bit of time reading several articles on this. Apparently, Kevin Budden's capture of the first live taipan for research was a watershed event in solving the Australian problem of treating people bitten by venomous snakes. And in any and every story about antivenom research (with regards Australian venemous snakes) Kevin Budden is always mentioned. (I also made some edits to the article.)

Completely unreferenced biography of a writer, whose only stated notability claim is that he and his work existed. The closest thing to sourcing here is directories of his work on public domain archives -- but as always, the notability test for writers is not just the ability to verify it, but the ability to cite
reliable source coverage and analysis about his work to demonstrate its significance.

Keep. He wouldn't likely meet modern standards for academic notability but I don't think those standards are appropriate for someone who flourished 100 years ago. He appears to have been a major figure in the early history of Ball State University, his books have multiple reviews, and one of them (according to one source) was widely used as a high school textbook. I expanded the article with better sources. I think it's enough now. —

Weak keep per

Comment. Unfortunately the sources found are only trivial mentions. What is he notable for? Certainly not as a writer of children's books. He does not compare with his contemporaries like
Edith Nesbit and
Mary Louisa Molesworth (women as it happens) who have scores of sources and have had biographies written about them.

This comment makes no sense. He was not an author of children's books. He was a scholar of children's literature, and wrote *about* children's books. So comparing him to famous authors is irrelevant and inappropriate. Also, several paragraphs of text about him in the Ball State history is not a trivial mention, to take only one example. —

OK, but the sources are still trivial and the Ball State history is small and not very creditable. Critics (and certainly obscure ones) are much less important than creators. If the BIO is kept, his alleged misbehavior, which nowadays would be considered academic misconduct, should be included.

Article about a poem, "referenced" only to its inclusion in a school textbook rather than any evidence of
reliable source analysis about it. As always, a literary work is not "inherently" notable just because it technically metaverifies its own existence; the notability test is reliable source coverage about the work to demonstrate its significance. And in this case, even the poet herself doesn't have a biographical article at all -- and while that isn't a deletion criterion for a writer per se the way it is with albums vis-à-vis musicians, it does suggest that the poem's article is less likely to be repairable than it might have been if the poet were actually demonstrated as notable.

Merge. I have a slight preference for merging to
9Lives (cat food) over a straight keep as Metropolitan90 and Reywas92 discuss after reading the above sources in this discussion. Since it's all part of an advertising campaign, that's really the better home. Even though the mascot itself has some notability, I'm not seeing that notability being clearly distinguished from the company advertising or advocacy (i.e., the "home" for Morris' notability already exists elsewhere). If there was a very clear delineation, I'd say keep instead, but in such a case, I'd expect content more worthy of a
WP:SUMMARY section at 9Lives rather than just the short sentence saying It is best known for its mascot, Morris. I don't see that kind of high-level content coming out even with additional editing.

Love this idea on principle, but am unconvinced it actually exists. The first two sources linked to could easily refer to Stone's work in the Scorsese Netflix documentary Rolling Thunder Revue, while the third source which mentions Streep might easily be conflating Rolling Thunder Revue with The Laundromat, a Netflix film that stars Streep and Stone. At the very least, I believe this subject needs more notable sources that verifiably refer to this specific project before it should be allowed in the mainspace.
