Notability

As has been pointed out in the comments by another AfC reviewer, despite being a very short stub the subject is well supported by several serious news sources. Therefore I've accepted the article. It can be easily expanded using the available news articles. I've created a redirect from 'Geek and Sundry', because a few sources describe it as such. Sionk (talk) 10:25, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Needless to say, any content needs to be verifiable in independent sources, be neutral in tone and non-promotional. I've removed descriptions of the Channel's web content because it was clearly biased, promotional and unsourced. Sionk (talk) 23:03, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a new user did a WP:COPYPASTE from press releases/blog postings[1]. Good catch on the revert. -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI Declaration) 06:18, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, evidently the source! Sionk (talk) 10:22, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Possible to add a hashtag symbol without triggering a numbered list?

Geek & Sundry has added a show called #parent. Entering it that way in the wiki renders as 1. parent. Is there any way to override the list formatting? Have entered it as (hashtag)parent for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluedilly (talk • contribs) 23:36, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Remaining shows added

I went through today and added all the shows on the Geek & Sundry website which were not listed here. That to my knowledge is every show, disregarding some of the Alpha exclusives that don't have good sources available today, two years after the service went down. If anyone wishes to go digging, Otaking Heads is one such show.--ERAGON (talk) 19:52, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the G&S site went down today. The article's programming list still does not cover "Brick battles Tower Defense" and "Project Pixel", but I'm relatively confident these were one-offs rather than ongoing series.--ERAGON (talk) 15:38, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah the site is back up, never mind. According to the site Project Pixel did actually have a longer run on Alpha, so the only show from the G&S page not represented in the table is Brick Battles, which was indeed a one-off. --ERAGON (talk) 17:44, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

G&S website is dead

It appears that the G&S website is dead and most (but not all) articles are just redirecting to the Nerdist homepage. I've put in a request at Wikipedia:Link rot/URL change requests/Archives/2022/January#Geek & Sundry for help pulling archive links as G&S is a secondary source for a lot of rpg/tabletop games in addition to being a primary source for this article. Sariel Xilo (talk) 18:46, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bot "edited 134 pages. Converted 94 links to Nerdist, and added 165 archive URLs for geekandsundry. -- GreenC 03:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)" — Copied over an update from Link rot. Sariel Xilo (talk) 03:50, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relaunch in Summer 2024?

@ERAGON: the G&S homepage is no longer redirecting to Nerdist and instead has a holding page which states: "Coming Soon. Get Ready to Unlock a World of Wonder! The countdown to curiosity and community has begun! Join us as we bring a new twist to tales and tabletops in Summer 2024". I'm not finding anything about this but maybe keep an eye out as the summer progresses. Sariel Xilo (talk) 15:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. We should wait until something actually happens, I agree- but perhaps legendary is doing some sort of new production using the name. The YouTube channel has been inactive for eight months.--ERAGON (talk) 09:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well they've removed the Summer 2024 message (as seen on the archive from earlier this month) so who knows what is going on. If the brand gets revived, I assume we'll see some coverage on it. Sariel Xilo (talk) 20:59, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scrutinising the image it looks like it was made with generative AI. Yeah, nothing to do for now until news websites notice it. I'm sure that if they do launch something we will hear about it, and we can go from there.--ERAGON (talk) 09:54, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rascal just confirmed the relaunch (with statements from a Legendary VP who is also in the new Sagas of Sundry show); they don't do gift links for articles but the first few paragraphs are free as an article preview. Looks like G&S is slow rolling the relaunch so I've updated the history section & lead. Sariel Xilo (talk) 18:19, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
