- ... that Youtube Personality MatPat once gifted a copy of Undertale to Pope Francis, connecting the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy with the game's theme of mercy? Source: https://www.polygon.com/2016/7/6/12105428/pope-undertale-youtuber
- Comment: I have never created a nomination like this before, I probably did it wrong and apologize in advance.
Created by Cassie Schebel (talk). Self-nominated at 14:24, 9 May 2022 (UTC).
Hi Cassie Schebel, thanks for your interest in DYK! Unfortunately, the Undertale article is not eligible. According to the DYK rules, articles can only be nominated if they meet one of the following criteria: (1) created or moved to mainspace in the past seven days; (2) prose text expanded at least 5x in the past seven days; or (3) promoted to Good Article status in the past seven days. Since Undertale was already promoted to Good Article in 2016, it can't be nominated at this time. Let me know if you have any questions! DanCherek (talk) 14:36, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

10th Anniversary Stream
[edit]What was the reason for deleting the section on the 10th Anniversary stream? The release of new content, battles, and music for the game is absolutely relevant and worthy of inclusion, especially if events such as the 5th anniversary concert receive mentions in the article. I feel that the quote from Fox is potentially superfluous, but provides good insight towards his attitude towards the community and encouraging fans to create additional content, AUs, etc. for the game. If it is poorly cited, then why delete the entire section rather than edit the article with better sources? Selina Dedalus (talk) 01:58, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- Maybe a sentence or two describing the new content cited to reliable sources, but a whole paragraph is excessive IMO. novov talk edits 22:55, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- The following is the edit summary from the removal of this section, "Poorly cited section that doesn't really add anything constructive to this article. Not worthy of inclusion" and i agree with him. 1timeuse75 (talk) 12:32, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
- Why? The release of new battles, content, and music seems significant at minimum. It makes sense why content such as the Spamton Sweepstakes is not included in the Deltarune page since it merely concerns teasers for upcoming content, but the release of original content makes it relevant of mention on a comprehensive encyclopedia about the topic. Selina Dedalus (talk) 22:37, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
- What determines of something is significant is generally not up to editor discretion. It is dependent on the sourcing, and how much weight the sources give towards those things. From what I can see, only one reliable source has discussed the contents of the stream at all [11]. But it isn't exactly significant enough for a section as its one of the classic articles that mainly regurgitate their points from social media posts. It doesn't really say much at all. I would estimate maybe one or two sentences would be worthy of inclusion in the article regarding it at best. These things may be significant to the fandom, but not in an encyclopedic overview on the topic. I maintain my stance that the content is not worthy of being in the article. λ NegativeMP1 22:49, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Selina Dedalus (talk) 23:21, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
