While the game was a commercial success and definitely somewhat influential, I can't see how it would qualify to be among the most important subjects for an encyclopedia. The show? Absolutely. The game or the comics? Not so much. Nothing in the article demonstrates a long-lasting legacy, and the Video games WikiProject lists it as only a Mid-importance article. Not even its own developer is around these days.

Add Armenian Revolutionary Federation
The ARF has had over a century of history, in which it has been rather influential. Founded in 1890 to campaign for Armenian independence, it was a prominent participant in the, the and the. During the earliest days of the, its members were targetted and murdered. It led the resistance to the genocide, culminating with its establishment of the First Armenian Republic and later an assassination campaign, in which it killed the main perpertrators of the genocide, including. After the Republic was dissolved by the Soviets, the ARF became massively influential in the Armenian diaspora, gaining a particularly large influence in Lebanon, where it fought in the civil war and is still a major party up until today. After the independence of Armenia, it became one of the main political parties in the country and was particularly influential in the and in the. The article for the ARF has 40 interwikis and averages 352 daily pageviews. I think the ARF is certainly a vital subject worth listing in our section on political parties. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:53, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Add The Chronic (potential swap with )
I feel like any vitality that “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” has can easily be applied to its parent album. I have seen people praise The Chronic for drastically changing the hip-hop landscape like what Nevermind did for rock, and even music in general. Now, I’m largely just interested in adding The Chronic (both and  are on here), but I have no issue having to swap “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” for it.

Swap and  with The Sound of Music and Ol' Man River
Of all the musical works listed under musicals, these two are probably the least vital. Although Kinky Boots won a bunch of Tonys, so do a lot of other musicals not here. (Personally, I think that Matilda musical that came out around the same time is more vital.) This is especially glaring since we don’t have The Sound of Music on here, which is much more vital. Yes, we have two other Rodger and Hammerstein musicals on here, and the film version is a level 4, but I think we can afford Hammerstein’s last musical on here.

Meanwhile, I don’t think “Somewhere” is more vital than “America” or “Maria”. However, instead of choosing another song from West Side Story, I’m going instead pick “Ol’ Man River”. I think this song that is heavily associated with Paul Robeson is vital enough on its own, even if we already have Show Boat on here.

 * 1) I am not sure what version of SOM is more vital (film or musical). I do think Kinky Boots might be the least vital of the listed Musicals. Maybe is as far down the pecking order. I am just not sure this is the best swap because I conflate the film and the musical in terms of vitality.

 * Let me then state that although I consider KB one of the less vital (along with The Producers, IMO) musicals on the list, I do consider it to be the only one of the few musical that strongly presents/supports LGBTQ+-themes. So I am not in a rush to remove it. It might not only be the only one of the few of the 29 musicals, but also the only one of the few of the 401 specific musical works that is strongly LGBTQ-themed.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 10:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

 * What Makool said. Also, it would be one thing if this musical is praised for furthering queer representation, but I don't think that's the case. SailorGardevoir (talk) 15:31, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * User:Makkool, I am not necessarily the most politically correct discussant, so I mean this as an ally. There are not many subject areas on WP that LGBT representation would really be an important consideration. Of all the subject areas on WP, if any would be expected to accord the LGBT community proportional representation, musical theatre would be among the select few to do so. Thus, if the LGBT community is roughly 10% of the population and musicals have 29 vital articles we should have at least 2 or 3 tagged by LGBT to be according LGBT its representation. Thus Kinky Boots and Rent and sort of Caberet would actually be proper for us to accord LGBT proper representation in the musical theatre subject area.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:30, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Just reviewed plot and don't see LGBT theme. Although the background would lead you to expect some LGBT plot angle, I don't see one. So I don't see how Cabaret gets us toward "LGBT representation". I also don't think representation minimum should vary much from 10% because I don't know any other number that sounds right. And if we don't give LGBT representation in musical theater, where else do we do it.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:10, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry Tony, but you are putting way too much thought into this musical that I don't think even the person who added this gave. Any discussion I have seen about Kinky Boots chiefly amounts to "did this deserve to beat Matilda the Musical at the Tonies?" And what do you mean you don't see LGBT themes in Cabaret? The Emcee character is queer as all hell! SailorGardevoir (talk) 17:18, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The WP synopsis does not present any queer element is what I mean. I.e., we do not present queer in the article and LGBT does not tag the article in its current state.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It's in Category:LGBT-related_musicals though, which I used as reference. Makkool (talk) 19:30, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I am sure Cabaret is a bit queer. However, when I read the WP:LEAD of Kinky Boots, I know the main character is a drag queen. Nothing in the LEAD or synopsis points to queer themes in Cabaret. I don't think I have seen Cabaret. The presence of a gay character does not really make something LGBT. The synopsis seems to focus on hetero love elements. Heck NYPD Blue had that character that Andy Sipowicz at times referred to a gay John (John Irvin). His presence did not make NYPD Blue an LGBT show. I don't know what gay themes arise due to this gay emcee. Maybe we should ask LGBT if they want to tag Cabaret. Even so, I just think there are few more queer friendly topics than musical theatre and if we are going to give LGBT proportional (10%) representation in any topic on WP,  musical theater might be the single most important topic to represent LGBT themes. Thus, I don't see a good reason to remove Kinky Boots from VA.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Correcting myself. I guess I don't know musical theatre. I looked at and  did not check most others. Both  and  are tagged WP:LGBT. So we have 4 of 29 at musical theatre. I do think musical theater has the opportunity to be one of the few subjects that gives LGBT overrepresentation (>10%). Keeping Kinky Boots would keep 4 (since they don't currently tag Cabaret). 20th century Drama has 4 of 28 tagged LGBT:, which is where I think musical theatre should be.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:18, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Tony, can you please just accept that I don't agree with your rationale for keeping Kinky Boots on here and move on? I'm starting to get sick of these paragraph-long replies. And no, musical theatre should stay in the specific musical works section. SailorGardevoir (talk) 00:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oops, I did not mean put musical theater in drama. I meant that drama having 4 (over the 10% threshold which would be 3) of 28 LGBT-tagged articles is where I think musical theatre should be. I think musical theatre and drama are not above the representative level, something is wrong. However, I realize that Cabaret may count as a fifth LGBT-tagged for musical theatre. I think Kinky Boots may almost be the queerest musical we've got, but queer theme obviously not the deciding factor on vitality.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:48, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Add Indie game
A shortened name for an independent video game, an indie game is a type of video game developed by a smaller studio, if not one single developer. The concept of an indie game is debated to have possibly existed for just as long as the concept of a video game has per Indie game. The only thing that could dispute that concept was the commercial sector of video games too underdeveloped to separate independent works. Some indie games, particularly Minecraft and Undertale, are themselves also considered vital articles (granted, Minecraft is no longer indie). Countless more have been considered some of the greatest games ever made by at least six publications. I think the general concept of an indie game being considered vital would be fair, if specific genres and elements of game development can be considered vital themselves.

If there are concerns about going over a quota or having too much video game representation, then a discussion in that regard can be held (I'm not too familiar with the process of what determines a vital article). In such a discussion, I would certainly hold that the broad concept of an indie game is a more important topic that some video games currently considered vital. λ Negative  MP1  22:09, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Swap with Blowin' in the Wind
I’m kind of shocked that “The Times They Are a-Changin’” got picked over “Blowin’ in the Wind”. No offense to the former, but “Blowin’ in the Wind” has got to be Bob Dylan’s most famous song, at least when it comes to his pre-electric days. It’s this song that made everyone realize that Dylan was more than your one-of-the-mill folk singer. reached number two with this song. It is this song that inspired Sam Cooke to write “”.

Add H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado (plus Major-General's Song)
I know that I’m already pushing to swap Thaïs with Nixon in China, and that both and  are listed on here as individuals, but… seriously why don’t we have any Savoy operas on here? Not only are they still popular to this day, they are almost universally held to be responsible for the development of musical theatre. Obviously picking the big three of the Savoy operas: H.M.S. Pinafore (the first one to be internationally famous), The Mikado (the most famous of them all), and The Pirates of Penzance (where probably the most famous patter song ever originated).

I know that we got the actual dish on here, but this is probably the most consumed instant food in the world. Also, until actual ramen shops began appearing, this used to be the only ramen most Americans heard of.

Tamayo is not V5, so I find it strange that a building dedicated to him is listed. I lean towards the idea that we have too many museums.

Asia isn't really a unified cultural block or region, so this article is covering a lot of geographically and culturally dispirate trends that developed parallel to each other and have little to do with each other.

Add Absurdism
Weird how we have and  but not absurdism. Absurdism is a philosophical stance questioning the meaning of existence. Authors like and  have explored its themes.

In theater, playwrights like defy conventions, reflecting the absurdity of existence. Artists like and  depict life's irrationality visually, influenced by absurdism. Absurdism has significantly influenced society by offering a critique of societal norms and institutions, encouraging critical thinking, promoting, inspiring creativity across various artistic mediums, and addressing existential concerns.

It has also been on a declining trend over the past few years due to demographic trends (East Asian countries having a low fertility rate) and parents realizing that they aren't as effective as, say, private tuition. feminist🩸 (talk) 04:26, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Fair points and I think I'm more on the fence than I was before but I think I still lean oppose. The reason why is because when other tech companies are listed along with their products ( and / or and ), it is because the company achieved something notable independent of their most famous products e.g. Google with its ability to roll out groundbreaking tech at scale that many thought was commercially unviable or Amazon and their ability to monopolize almost any industry they enter. Meta is the story of  and . A quick test you can do is read the company's wiki article and their VA product's wiki article. Does the stuff mentioned in the company article not mentioned in the product article make the company worthy of inclusion? Google/Amazon pass this imo, Meta doesn't.

I've noticed that the criteria for adding books to this list is that it either must be considered a 'classic', must have been a groundbreaking piece of work in its field, or must have been a globally known bestseller (at the level of the  which sold over 80 million copies and was translated into 44 languages). True crime, in its current form, hasn't taken off outside the United States (with the exception of Australia) like it has within the states. This is evidenced by the fact that this book only has 5 interwikis. Nor was it particularly groundbreaking within the genre; that honor would go to . I lean towards adding because true crime probably deserves a second slot and this is probably the best candidate but I can see this going either way since the global legacy was minimal.

 * I think that I should point out that we have two subsections in the specific musical works section: traditional and folk. Although I’m the one who move the Stephen Foster’s songs from traditional to folk (in hindsight, they probably should have been put under pop, but the guy even predates Tin Pan Alley), I think the folk subsection is more for what is called contemporary folk music. If we end up swapping these songs out, both Danny Boy and Mo Li Hua are probably going to be placed under traditional, which is where the actual folk somgs are located.
