The CNet article is substantial, but the remainder are very passing mentions and Gnews didn't give any better results. Doesn't seem notable, perhaps can be redirected somewhere, but unclear what (if anything) would be a useful target. Fram (talk) 13:47, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find other mentions of it other than CNet. Oaktree b (talk) 14:13, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails NWEB. CNET article does discuss the subreddit but it is more generally about all anti-car movements on the web, through the lens of this subreddit. Otherwise, the sources fail altogether. Whether or not it had a large piece of r/place does not establish notability. We just can't have a page for every subreddit that any publication takes some level of interest in. ‡ El cid, el campeador ^talk 14:14, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Possible redirect The article about a subreddit could be redirected to car-free movement if anyone is willing to add something about this subreddit. It appears that notability is definitely insufficient even in Google search, but since a redirect does not have to adhere to WP:N guideline and that there's another article with a similar topic, a redirect is a likely option if possible.

~~Redirect~~ Merge to Car-free movement#Advocacy groups, ~~where I have added a mention of the subreddit.~~ Jumpytoo Talk 04:25, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahunt: reverted the change, so changing my vote to merge as WP:ATD. Jumpytoo Talk 16:40, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with the redirect idea. I think the CNet article is enough to warrant a mention at the target you chose. And in my mind the existence of articles for other subreddits refutes the idea that 'social media groups' are not notable and are always promotional. But I also feel fine with the thing being deleted. ‡ El cid, el campeador ^talk 18:08, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete per the lack of WP:SIGCOV. Like others have mentioned, the CNET article only covers the anti-car topic in general, not the specific subreddit. The four other references consist of two primary sources and two about r/place. I've heard of r/fuckcars before, but it's a very small, non-notable community compared to other communities with millions of members and coverage that could have Wikipedia articles written about them.
