RFC: Title for this list?

How should this list be titled? SoWhy 20:22, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

To hopefully avoid further moving of this article (after it has been moved twice in two hours now), I want to use this way to request more input on this simply question that unfortunately has no simple answer. The scope of this article is notable people (per WP:BIO) whose notability resulted from internet video sites (like YouTube). As such, the word "YouTube" in the title probably needs to be changed, just like the previously used word "celebrities" (the current "personalities" is not really better imho though). I hope someone has a short and concise title suggestion that nevertheless reflects the scope of this list. Regards SoWhy 20:22, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

There is an open [now closed] WP:RM move request in the section above headed Requested move. Station1 (talk) 00:01, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
"Personalities" works better than "celebrities". "Celebrities" is too POV while "personalities" is more neutral. Besides, I wouldn't call any of them celebrities in the way that Brad Pitt and Brittney Spears are celebrities. The issue with "personalities" is that it's vague, but I guess that would be a problem with the article's established scope and not just the title. ThemFromSpace 05:14, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I do oppose to calling this "List of Youtube personalities". While I agree with the sentiments to why "celebrity" was changed to "personality", I don't think that it's really appropriate to single out Youtube specifically. Do we have "List of..." articles for every website out there (e.g. List of Fark personalities, List of Facebook personalities, List of Slashdot personalities)? No. Even List of internet celebrities redirects to List of internet phenomena. So having a specific article for Youtube seems rather silly. WTF? (talk) 23:14, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Of course, now that I think of it, doing away with this entirely and merging the content with Category:Internet personalities would probably be preferable -- not only would it solve the vandalism issues, but it would also solve the issue of having a single article that's nothing but list with tons of reference citations in them. WTF? (talk) 23:18, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Richard Michael Alvarez

No, fansites and forums are not suitable. See WP:Reliable sources. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:17, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

CharlesTrippy

I noticed he wasn't on the list. Charles is known all over youtube, he deserves to be on the list. I mean, he's #18 on most subscribed comedians of all time on youtube right now, and though he's not number one or two as I think he should be, thats still pretty impressive. http://www.youtube.com/user/charlestrippy?blend=1&ob=4 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymous248 (talk • contribs) 03:02, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Standard for notability?

Has there been any kind of standard or notability test devised by Wikipedia to decide which people merit being included in a list such as this? I think that requiring merely that they be referenced in "reliable sources" is vague and very much open to interpretation (and, therefore, dispute).--Witan (talk) 05:07, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I think this is a good question, a signle viral video does not a celebrity make :) and I can note at least one channel that should definitely be on this list that isn't --Gnepets (talk) 05:03, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Changes by Gnepets

Hi, I have started making several changes such as adding a list of channels including external links, very useful people who want to look at the channels of youtube celebrities. I have also added guidelines for establishing a celbrity, really should be notability, it seems to be needed given the notices on the page. Please leave feedback to any changes I make here. --Gnepets (talk) 06:39, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Double Standard

I notice a double standard on adding KevJumba to the list. If you take a look at the requirements to be added to the list, then simply having an article that establishes notability of more then six months is enough. He became notable enough to be reviewed by a media source such as a newspaper. So in this case, KevJumba should be added to the list. Mr. C.C. (talk) 10:55, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

"Establishing credibility" section

This currently reads:

Because this page has been edited regularly previously here are some guideline rules that can be used in order to decide if a YouTuber is a 'celebrity' recognized on this list:

  1. A person or people who has been referenced externally to YouTube, on non-YouTube affiliated websites, television, books or newspapers (including any form of media deemed by Wikipedia as an acceptable citation).
  2. The period of exposure is greater than 6 months.
  3. Multiple reliable 3rd party citations are needed to establish this OR a Wikipedia article that establishes this persons notability as a YouTube Celebrity using multiple reliable third party references over a period greater than 6 months.
  4. If the above requirements are not met, the 'celebrity' in question should not be on this list, please remove them.

note: if you believe these rules do not correctly establish who is a celebrity or not, please got to this pages talk section.

Clearly this does not belong on display in the article as currently written. It is essentially advice/instructions for editors and is explicitly self-referential (e.g. linking to the talk page). Should it be removed altogether, or at least hidden from readers by use of <!-- ... --> ? TheGrappler (talk) 04:55, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Was there a consensus for these so-called standards? I mean it contradicts itself with the issue of KevJumba's notability. The article says KevJumba's entry needs a third party reference, but according to these standards, having a Wikipedia article is all that is needed. I am bringing it up again because these standards are ludicrous in my opinion. Mr. C.C. (talk) 05:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
I don't know whether there was a consensus for these standards, but I do think that any such standards should be listed on the talk page as advice for editors, rather than displayed on the mainspace for readers. For now, I am going to remove them from the article. They can be debated here if need be, but at least in their current form they don't seem to belong on the article itself. TheGrappler (talk) 16:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
I still see they are being anal about KevJuma being added. "Note: Kevin "kevjumba" Wu's entry will be removed on sight unless a 3rd party reliable source can be provided to assert his notability. Despite his popularity on YouTube, no exceptions can be made for unreferenced entries per WP:WEB." How hard is it to go to his article and take something from there? I mean there are references there. What a concept! But they are overlooking other entries. How convenient. So I am going to be removing those other non-referenced entries. Mr. C.C. (talk) 23:30, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Non-referenced entries have been removed to rid the list of double standards. Mr. C.C. (talk) 05:39, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I guess its not important that those entries are put back seeing as they haven't. Any further entries without references will also be removed in a continued effort to elevate any further double standards. Mr. C.C. (talk) 00:52, 5 February 2010 (UTC)


Dead links

Suggestion Instead of tagging them as dead links, how about just fixing them. This would elevate the extra time removing the tags and fixing the links all together. Mr. C.C. (talk) 23:45, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Kings of Myspace

I Think That Tim Chantarangsu (TimothyDeLaGhetto2), Pedro Flores (PeeDeeFlo) and Eric Ochoa (SupereeeGO) Should Be Added, Their Kings of Myspace Video was Featured on Myspace.com when it First Came out. Their Kings of Tubedeedo (Youtube) was Featured on Youtube, as well as KTLA in Los Angeles Featured Them on Their Kings of Viral Videos Segment in 2008.

Move?

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was do not move Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:56, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
List of YouTube personalities → List of Internet video artists — Since no further discussion happened despite trying to get it going, I think a WP:BRD-style move to this title is warranted (see #RFC: Title for this list? above). Regards SoWhy 19:28, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Oppose This is for YouTube only. If people got fame from posting videos and whatnot on MySpace, then there should be a list for them. Then there should be a list for Internet celebrities for the rest of them. All of the people on this list are from YouTube and nowhere else. If you want a list of Internet (the I should always be upper case in Internet) video artists, then that would be for everyone else as it doesn't specify what site they became notable from. Mr. C.C. (talk) 23:53, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
But we could simply add a column to the table like "video site", couldn't we? The reason the inclusion of "YouTube" in the title was criticized in both the AFDs and here was that it singles out a certain video site without any reason to do so. A list of all Internet video artists no matter which platform they use would serve the same purpose without doing so. Regards SoWhy 13:19, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Peter Chao

He should be added.

Channel: [1] Evidence outside of youtube: [2] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.171.56.132 (talk) 15:34, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Is that the only thing you can find on him? I mean Jack Conte was also featured on Attack of the Show. Do you have a link to an article on him? Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 02:54, 20 February 2010 (UTC)


The article says his Outro is "Chao Outside". I'm a Cantonese speaker and what he's actually saying is, in english letters, "chao s-eye". Here, "chao" means "to fry" and "s-eye" (one syllable) means "all (of)". So he's saying "I fry you all". Not "Chao Outside". However, I know the first word is 炒 and the second is pronounced like Sigh. But in Cantonese this word is only spoken, and has no written form. The written alternative is 完成 which is not what Peter Chao says.

Can someone else more fluent in Chinese come up with a solution? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TangLab (talk • contribs) 16:25, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

No, in one of his first videos he clearly says "some of you are not understanding what i'm saying at the end of my videos... its 'Chao' as in 'Peter Chao' and 'outside' as in 'not inside'." (Rough quote)

Thunderf00t

Is not only well known on youtube but has been mentioned in the mainstream news. He is highly regarded on all sides for his 31-part (at the time of writing) video series "Why do people laugh at Creationists?" combining his skill as a professional scientist with his commitment and passion for Western secular values to debunk the various claims of fundamentalist Christianity. He has held debates on his channel between himself and fellow Atheist Richard Dawkins, and creationist clown Ray Comfort (AKA the Bananaman), and has also campaigned heavily for youtube as a free forum for ideas, and against the abuses of the system such as the DMCA takedown notice, and the use of dishonest tactics such as votebotting, false flagging and the like. I think he deserves at least a mention.

any Questions? Souper Chiva (talk) 22:52, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Views on YouTube doesn't assert notability. Independent sources are needed. Those two links to Ford Fiesta agent pages doesn't assert notability. Those seem like promotional items. I mean Johnny Paula, Jory Caron, and Riley McIlwain are also Ford Fiesta agents and are popular on YouTube, but that doesn't mean that should warrant them an article. It is about independent sources and not promotional items, YouTube views, or Google hits. Some people on YouTube get tons of hits on Google because it's sites mirroring their videos. Not really credible. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 10:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
The Name of the Page is List of YouTube Personalities, and views and hits on their videos don't count? That makes very little sense, and besides by him being a ford fiesta agent he was featured on a few news stations along with a few other agents (Including Joe Pena aka MysteryGuitarMan who is Also on the list) and besides he just surpassed SouljaBoy in Subscribers making him the most subscribed rapper on youtube. but if you wan't I'll keep looking! Oh and He's also Gotten some Radio Play in the Los Angeles Area Souper Chiva (talk) 23:02, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Did you even bother looking for articles? All that can be found is the Ford Fiesta links, mirror sites that post his videos, and MySpace and Facebook links. There is no news hits on Google associated with him. If you can't provide links to assert that his views on YouTube make him notable, then he really isn't. You can't provide links to this radio play in Los Angeles he has received. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 01:46, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Well I've been looking, and I Find the Same Articles, BUT I am Determined to Find some Links that will help assert his Position as a Notable YouTuber...BTW Does it help my cause that he's worked with Andrew Garcia, you Know the American Idol Contestant?

THIS PAGE!

this page should either me renamed to "list of notable personalities on youtube" or this page should accommodate youtubers with high subscribers and/or view

As this page doesn't quite make sense Since Selena Gomez(http://www.youtube.com/user/SelGomez) is also on youtube and i think i don't require sources to prove that she is famous in the real world and on youtube........but still just in case:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1411125/

Thus I believe there should be some sort of voting to either make a new page by the name of

List of youtube celebrities

and that page should have a list of youtubers who are actually famous ON YOUTUBE!!

-Ammar Askar 221.120.250.74 (talk) 08:53, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Notable is implied: Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, with entries on notable topics. It's actually the 1st "pillar" of the project's key principles ("Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. ... [It] is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a web directory").
If someone is famous in "the real world" (outside YouTube, presumably) then they'll be written about in the real world. In that case it should be possible to cite one or more reliable sources so that other readers can verify the subject's claim to fame. If it's not possible, the subject's not famous in the real world - only on YouTube.
Maybe you could try and persuade YouTube to create a list - if they haven't already?

 Done She has now been added. 13:42, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Terroja Kincaid/The Amazing Atheist

I remember a discussion about this guy before. He meets all the criteria for being listed on this page. For some reason, he has been removed. The reasons why he should be included: - He meets the criteria of being sited in mainstream media, as he has been interviewed in wired magazine and the Times of London for a prediction he made about a Finnish school shooting, and is mentioned in the wikipedia article about this shooting (http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2007/11/youtuber-warned/, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article2848488.ece , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jokela_school_shooting). - He has close to 100,000 subscribers on Youtube (#50 Most Subscribed "Director" of ALL TIME) - He has used his "internet celebrity" to sell books he has authored. - He has expanded his internet fame into other web sites, being interviewed on several blogs. - A google search of "The Amazing Atheist" (IN QUOTES!) returns over 5 MILLION pages. - He is listed as the #96 most popular internet celebrity at iStardom.com, the only site I know about that catalogs internet celebrities. (http://www.istardom.com/Theamazingatheist) - He has his own Encyclopedia Dramatica page (A site dedicated to internet memes, celebrities, and "famous" drama on the internet) - There is NO REASON why he shouldn't be included in the list. He is EXACTLY what we are talking about when we say 'YouTube Celebrity". He should be the POSTER BOY of this page. His IMAGE (as ugly as he is) should be at the top of this page. Can anyone give me a SINGLE REASON why his entry was removed? If not, I will add this entry again. He has a lot of enemies, which makes me think that his removal was PERSONAL rather than based on wikipedia standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.95.202 (talk) 22:35, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

The number of subscribers and google results are not considered "notable". However, the interviews in Wired Magazine, the Times of London, listing on istardom.com, and references to him in other wikipedia articles does make him notable. In fact, I'd say he's more notable than half the people on this list. I'm afraid his removal was most likely due to a personal grudge or his militant atheism rather than him not being notable. I don't know about him being the "poster boy" for this page, but he clearly is notable.Socratesone (talk) 19:33, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Shay Carl

Shay needs to be added to this list. No questions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.105.189 (talk) 14:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC) Sorry one question, while I agree Shay's an amazing youtuber. Isnt it better to wait until he reaches a milestone of some sort instead of just crediting him as an up and coming star? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.172.33.203 (talk) 18:34, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Any sources outside of YouTube? Kyle1278 17:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Also, you hear a lot in his vlogs him saying stuff about how someone comes up to him and is all like omg your shay carl! and stuff like that. That shows how much of a celebrity he is. Falcons8455 (talk) 19:11, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Either Shay Carl/Shaytards are relevant or they are not. If he's listed in this article, why are all attempts to create an article about him stopped? Is he relevant or not? Or is he just relevant enough to be listed here, but not enough to justify a separate article? These we all deleted: Shay Carl, ShayCarl, Shaycarl, Shay carl, Shaytards, ShayTards. Short discussion, longer discussion. The Shaytards won the 2009 Open Web Awards, and whatnot, see everything I already wrote about it on these pages. "Vincent Van Gogh only sold one single painting in his lifetime, as he simply wasn't very popular, but that which may be trivial today could end up being very important in the long run. If we leave out articles on certain people or events based on our perceptions of their cur­rent importance, that information could be lost forever." For science sake, can we finally add an article about him? It's retarded to keep saying that something isn't relevant enough. And even if you think that's important, then why do you keep ignoring all these people that try to add an article about him. To them he and the Shaytards are relevant. Even if those in charge finally decide an article can be added, it's too late. You already failed and Wikipedia is broken, because the Deletionists won years ago. --82.171.70.54 (talk) 23:11, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Nixie Pixel entry - drive-by edit.

I will start by saying to Ohnoitsjamie that I am open to the possibility that this is not a good entry, but I just want to say that reverting this entry six minutes after it went up, when the videos on the first reference page last a combined total of 7 minutes and 37 seconds is disingenuous. I would hope at least that you would watch the videos attached to the article for the notability of a YouTube Personality before summarily dismissing it. NipokNek (talk) 21:36, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't matter the content of the videos, how many views the person has, or how many subscribers this person has because if you have no references asserting this persons notability, then of course the entry will be removed. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 22:07, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
The videos in question were part of the linked references, not her YouTube page. And thank you for reminding everyone about discounting Viewership and Video counts. She is a bit deficient in both of those categories, but notable nonetheless. NipokNek (talk) 06:53, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Neither reference provided is notable. Look at the list of refs on the bottom: Wired, Variety, NY Times, Daily Herald, LA Times, etc etc. See WP:Reliable sources. The Wired ref you added simply notes that an anon user submitted this person as a contender for a contest. That hardly qualifies as non-trivial coverage.OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:37, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
