Views of Elon Musk

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I am nominating this article along with the following articles:
 * Philanthropy of Elon Musk
 * List of awards and honors received by Elon Musk

This is because I believe they are unnessecary Forks. Please see Talk:Elon Musk for background and more explanation on the matter. Willbb234Talk (please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 12:51, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep I split these articles from Elon Musk as it was way too long and I was working towards an agressive summary style. There is already a precedent in usage for similar articles: Religious and philosophical views of Albert Einstein, Political views of Albert Einstein, Political views of Adolf Hitler, etc. / List of awards received by Edward Snowden, List of awards received by Charles, Prince of Wales, List of awards received by Lata Mangeshkar, etc. / Philanthropy of Michael Jackson etc. Elon Musk is a level-5 vital article and it makes sense to have subarticles. However, I should emphasize that I would rather delete than merge. Here, merging is the worst of both worlds. The article already summarizes these articles and the level of detail in those subarticles is just not suitable for a biographical article. ~ HAL  333  16:48, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Per HAL333 and my comments at Talk:Elon Musk. GrammarDamner   how are things?  17:33, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge the Philanthropy of Elon Musk article. That section is way too short to have ever been considered for a split in the first place. The main Elon Musk article is only 30kb of prose so I'm baffled why it needed to be split so much at all. The views article is more justifiable so weak keep on that one. HAL's "agressive summary style" was very aggressive, and the articles for Einstein,, Charles, etc. are substantially longer than this one. Just because it "makes sense to have subarticles" doesn't mean there should be several short subarticles, with a not-so-long main article left behind. Reywas92Talk 20:15, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Unless there is some guideline that states its an unnecessary fork other than the nominators feelings, then keep as there are plenty of citations for notability of Top 2 richest man in the world. Expertwikiguy (talk) 02:36, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep and leave to normal editing and discussion to resolve. Forks and WP:SPLITs are two different things. From WP:FORK: "On the other hand, as an article grows, editors often create summary-style spin-offs or new, linked articles for related material. This is acceptable, and often encouraged, as a way of making articles clearer and easier to manage." I don't see the basis for starting an AFD; the talk page discussion the nom links was barely two days old when this AFD was created, and does not provide an argument for outright deletion (which is apparently not what the nom wants anyway) or the impression that consensus was impossible to achieve as to how best to organize this content. Not getting immediate agreement is not cause to start a compulsory, bureaucratic process with a deadline. See WP:ATD. postdlf (talk) 14:57, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
