A list that is full of overdetailed trivia, verging on WP:NOT. To be fair I am not proposing that we chuck the article's content in the bin and forget about it, I support an option to partially merge some of this content into respective relevant articles where the topics in question have been mentioned, as long as it is appropriate. talk to !dave 18:55, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
Reply to points from Kncny11:
"I would say that this falls somewhere between WP:NOTDATABASE and WP:GAMEGUIDE. Specifically, it's the "products -> activation -> description" that doesn't sit right with me."
While I disagree with your assessment that this article is something between a indiscriminate collection of information, or a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal, I can see that the format makes it feel this way a bit. I intend to move more towards the format of other lists of easter eggs as discussed above (Google and Microsoft). In particular, I will remove the products -> activation -> description structure. Just need some time to make the edits.
"I've no doubt that the concept of Tesla easter eggs is notable, but there should be an article, or a section in an article, that is more about how Tesla began incorporating Easter eggs into their car models, why the ones are chosen as they are, rather than a list that's really a step above up up down down left right left right B A start."
I would encourage you to add such a section (with references) to this article! Wikipedia:Dispute resolution instructs that "the best practice is to improve it if you can rather than deleting salvageable text". This article is rich with notable, well cited information that is clearly of interest to people. It should not be lost.
"Even if a list like this were to occur, I don't see a downside in WP:TNTing, considering how 1. trivia laden it is and 2. the flattering portrait of Elon Musk that it paints. In particular, the second section of "Notable omissions" is really just "a list of things Elon Musk likes", with a side of "see! He was praised in Star Trek!""
All that you refer to is referenced to notable primary sources. But if you think it is biased or could be better, please make additions/edits and include citations. If there are specific issues you would like to discuss, happy to do that too, but specific small issues in an article are not grounds for complete deletion. The problem with "blow it up and start over" is, who will start over? If given until the end of 2021, I plan to start from the existing rigorously cited text, improve the format, and futureproof by removing anything that can change with software updates or new products. I think this is a better option as compared to WP:TNTing.
