Comment: The new sources do not address the issues brought up by Rambley. In order for this to pass WP:NLIST you will need sources that are specifically about the levels themselves, rather than the creepypasta or game in general. To be honest, this is something that would be fairly difficult to establish as by large the available sourcing will discuss the creepypasta or game as a whole, rather than focusing on a list. It's part of the reason why the SCPs don't have their own list. The sourcing just isn't there to justify one. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 04:32, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
Comment: The sources themselves simply discuss The Backrooms; an article already exists on this topic. The rest of the article is based off various UGC-centric wikis which are considered unreliable. I am not sure this topic is suitable unless you can provide other reliable, secondary sources that talk about these "levels and sublevels". Rambley (talk / contribs) 18:08, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

The Backrooms are a fictional location originating from a 2019 4chan Thread of Unsettling images[2][3], with one person responding with the famous Creepypasta. Since then, the Backrooms has gotten many "Levels" which are other liminal spaces with their own properties, connected to the famous yellow halls.[3][4][2][5][6] Some have entities and dangerous phenomena, while some are safe havens for wanderers.
Levels come in many types, like Sublevels (Levels inside another Level, usually represented with decimal points after the parent Levels number.) Enigmatic Levels (Levels with no number attached to them) and entire dimensions (Like The Frontrooms and the Backrooms themselves.)
