Takes an idea from an article and runs with original research to combine various unfortunate events with potential conspiracy theory. The article itself refers to the events as "coincidental". LadyofShalott 20:57, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

- You moved faster than I did, but ok. I think the first ref invalidates A11. Otherwise, we agree it should go. LadyofShalott 21:11, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- It would need more than that one source to be credible and significant. Kingsif (talk) 21:16, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- Indeed, but not to make a *claim* to such. LadyofShalott 21:21, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Whenever we see a "curse" article, it seems like we often see editors shoehorning incidents in to the article no matter how much of a stretch it is to claim those incidents as part of a curse. Among the instances of the curse listed in this article are (a) two cast members divorcing each other; (b) a person who appeared in four episodes having a car accident in which nobody was injured; and (c) a cast member being accused of having been frequently rude to other cast members. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:30, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. A single periodical using "curse" as a hook for a clickbait article doesn't make this a notable thing. I don't find any other reliable sources using the term. Schazjmd (talk) 21:48, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete There are several WP:BLP concerns in that list alone for me; this is an article WP:COATRACKing as someone both hating the series and wanting to keep this conspiracy nonsense on here. Have a heart and don't do this. Nate • (chatter) 23:17, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, borderline speedy. WP:NOTTRIVIA. BD2412 T 00:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- Merge to Glee. Given the couple of decent sources that do mention this, I might be useful to merge rather than outright delete. Patiodweller (talk) 00:58, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
