Even if this topic passes WP:GNG, it would then be a classic WP:NOPAGE case. This article is largely a compilation of blog posts, online comments, and celebrity gossip reporting. There may (or, quite possibly, may not) be a place for two sentences about this to be included at David Cross, but that's it -- at most. E Eng 22:17, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree with EEng that this is mostly gossip and does not deserve its own page. I think a good solution is a sentence about the Chipwreck producer, and maybe another sentence could be added to the David Cross page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bpuddin (talk • contribs) 23:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unencyclopedic gossip. Esolo5002 (talk) 03:32, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - As the creator and major contributor to the article, I narrowly (albeit still) encourage the retainment of this page. I had originally made this article where Alvin and the Chipmunks (film)#Response towards Cross used to look like this. I moved most of that content to its own article, adding Chipwrecked content as well. I guess I underestimated WP:SIGCOV; although there is commentary of blog activity, the sources on this article are generally fine (expect maybe the ScreenRant), so verifiability issues aren't a problem. If this doesn't deserve to be its own standalone article, it should be a redirect to David_Cross#Alvin_and_the_Chipmunks. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 16:55, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – any particularly mainstream coverage (e.g., maybe the LA Times article cited in the article) can be addressed in another article; coverage from smaller entertainment websites is generally trivial. See also WP:NOTGOSSIP. RunningTiger123 (talk) 21:58, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - horrible offspring of no page and not gossip. Bearian (talk) 09:06, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Smerge to David Cross. This does not need a separate article when the addition of a few lines to the parent article could convey everything worth conveying. BD2412 T 20:19, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
