DYK for Fish kick

On 26 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fish kick, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that although some sources have cited the fish kick as potentially the fastest way for humans to swim, it has not been widely used in competitive swimming? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fish kick. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Fish kick), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Results of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chuggaaconroy

TL;DR: I would like to restore the YouTuber Chuggaaconroy’s Wikipedia page as I have found several new sources that hopefully should be sufficient enough to establish his notability, and I would like to ask if the original article can be draftified/userfied for me to edit it.

Hello Eddie891, I'm PantheonRadiance. I'm messaging you today to discuss the circumstances surrounding the Articles for Deletion on Emile Rosales-Birou (Chuggaaconroy), a popular Let's Player and internet personality. Due to school obligations, I never got the chance to participate in this discussion, and I wish to discuss this with you now. Since the Deletion Review stated that I should discuss with the closer first, I have three points about the AfD I wanted to talk to you about.

1: One of the participants voted Keep, citing an article from the New York Times which mentions him. However, another user argued that the article didn't count because it was a trivial mention. From what I understand about a trivial mention, this is erroneous; as opposed to a basic one-sentence mention, there were four paragraphs dedicated to talking about Chuggaaconroy, from his start on YouTube as a kid, to the content he produces along with his subscriber and view count, his contact with YouTube itself and his videos containing occasionally rough language, and how his videos were discovered through the site's recommendations. From Wikipedia's policies the subject doesn't have to be the main topic of the article so long as the coverage of it is reasonably in-depth. The Sydney Morning Herald also published the same article too.

2: In addition to the rebuttal, two other participants stated that they couldn't find any reliable and significant sources on Chuggaaconroy, so I spent the past month looking for various other sources. Along with NY Times, he has also been featured on Wired, The Atlantic, the Irish Times, Independent.co.uk and even Nasdaq - all of them reliable outlets. For Wired, there were three articles which mention Chuggaaconroy - one which significantly goes in detail on his YouTube career along with some details on his personal life, one mentioning his revenue hit and content ID claims, and one from 2010 on his YouTube partnership with The Game Station/Polaris. The first article especially qualifies as in-depth coverage, and coupled with the two smaller mentions, these should contribute to his notability. Here are the rest of the articles.

The Atlantic mentions him as an example of a Let’s Player who has made a living off of his YouTube videos, citing his subscriber count as of March 2014, him living in Atlanta, Georgia and the approximate salary he makes from his videos.
The Irish Times article which talks about family-friendly gaming channels cites Chuggaaconroy as an example of one whose content is oriented for younger audiences not into Minecraft, the games he plays and his sub/view count.
An article from Independent mentioned two videos from his Super Luigi Galaxy series (Episode 29 and 30 [Part ⅓]) as one of the most-viewed of the week in October 2010, placing it at 8 and 9. There was also another one which listed one on his videos again, showing how his videos have received coverage from the outlet. These two articles should at the very least partially demonstrate his notability as a popular gaming YouTuber.
Also, this 2013 Nasdaq article mentions his view/subscriber count, his content related to Nintendo-based Let’s Plays, and a picture of a tweet from one of his fans, showing him as an example of a Let’s Player affected by Nintendo’s (old) content ID policy.

Admittedly the Atlantic, Irish Times, Independent and Nasdaq sources are a bit scant, but when combined with the NY Times and Wired articles they should establish him as a notable YouTuber. If not, then…

3: Out of curiosity I also searched his YouTube channel name on Google Scholar and managed to find a few scholarly articles which go into detail about the Let’s Plays he produces along with his influence.

This scholarly article comes from the University of Brasilia and goes into great detail on his video and commentary style. Specifically it states that Chuggaaconroy makes LPs of games at least two years after release mainly of Nintendo games, how he typically goes into research and production on each game he makes a video series on, and how he takes the time to show 100% of the game content available (all bosses, items, quests, Easter eggs and so on). It also lists his subscriber count as of 2017 (1.1 million) in comparison to other Let’s Play channels.
The second article can be used to create a section for "The Runaway Guys," Chuggaaconroy’s collaborative YouTube channel with fellow gaming personalities Jonathan "ProtonJonSA" Wheeler and Timothy "NintendoCapriSun" Bishop. This article from the Lapland University of Applied Sciences specifically talks about the Thrown Controllers game show which the group holds in conventions like MomoCon, Pax East and Magfest. Admittedly, these two articles are written in Portugese and Finnish respectively, but according to Wikipedia sources do not have to be in English as long as they’re reliable.
The third one “Beyond the Classroom Walls” is admittedly a trivial mention, but it does mention him as one of the most notable Let’s Players alongside mainstream personalities Markiplier and PewDiePie, showing that he does belong in that category of influential Let’s Play channels. Perhaps if his article got restored, this can also be used as a source for the Wikipedia article for Let’s Plays - in which he should be included. There was also a fourth scholarly article which merely cites the first episode of his Majora’s Mask series but other than citing it as an example of a game he played, there isn’t too much.

4: And finally, here are a few miscellaneous sources from Reporter, Sequart, Mashable (situationally reliable), STLMag ("There was this YouTuber I found, chuggaaconroy…"), and Examiner.net (not ".com"). Some of these sources might not be the most recent, but I think WP:NTEMP should apply here. In total, I collected about 30 good sources which I saved and archived, but I think you've seen enough.

So with these sources, I would like to ask if there is any way the article could be restored, or at least draftified/userfied, so that I may rewrite it using both the old sources in the original article and these aforementioned ones previously unused (and clean up the article in general). I tried the absolute best I could to find as many reliable sources as possible, and I really hope these would be enough to prove his article deserves to be restored. If not, then I understand; thanks in advance, and sorry for making you read so much, I'm still kind of new to this lol PantheonRadiance (talk) 20:34, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PantheonRadiance, I've restored the article to Draft:Chuggaaconroy. I'd suggest adding the sources you found and going through the AFC process... This is not an endorsement of notability. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 23:19, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. PantheonRadiance (talk) 04:53, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

why not deleted ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Rahul_Easwar

The article needs to go through WP:Afd rather than being prodded because it has already been nominated for deletion before. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 15:47, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discontent Content Issue 4

Discontent Content Issue #4

Welcome, subscribers, to the fourth Discontent Content newsletter! Discontent Content is a newsletter aiming to collate and improve Wikipedia articles in need of more eyes and hands to get them in shape. Its unique trimodal structure allows editors to work where they feel comfortable -- with stubs and starts needing to be brought to standard, mid-quality articles with Good or Featured potential, or quality-assessed articles needing help to maintain their status.

Category 1

Articles in this category are those that need to be brought up to a minimum quality standard. Some will be stubs; others will be longer articles that nonetheless have significant concerns putting them far below B- or C-class adequacy.

This issue's Category 1 articles are:

Lineage (anthropology): A shocking subject to be a sourceless stub, this Vital 4 obviously has so much more to write about than its three sentences. In this state, even a basic improvement would do a ton.
Police memorabilia collecting: Survived AfD not long ago, with plenty of sources given in the discussion to use in the article. "Further reading" may in particular be of use.
Koror City: Palau may be a small island nation, but having its largest city by far be a stub is unacceptable. (We've managed to write much more about it over at Wikivoyage, where it's guide-class and about to make a Main Page appearance.) Vital 5 with a healthy couple hundred pageviews a day, the widespread use of English in its native land makes it a more accessible topic than editors afraid of working in countries they're unfamiliar with might worry.

Category 2

Articles in this category, while in better current shape than Category 1, are still missing something. They have the potential to be truly high-quality content, and may have been at one point. With work, they can be brought up to dizzying heights.

This issue's Category 2 articles are:

List of premature obituaries: A former FL, an eccentric and popular topic, and a refreshing change from the sports statistics and "list of awards received by X" that populate FLC. This list was demoted in 2009 for sourcing concerns, which even at the time were mentioned as potentially fixable.
War: Let's just jump straight into the Overtopics, shall we? This Vital 2 really shows what "Top-importance to the whole encyclopedia" means. Currently B-class -- more B- in my estimate, maybe -- it stands out that non-editor readers on the talk page have qualms with the scope, in particular omissions they expected to find.
The Picture of Dorian Gray: Once GA, now C. ~~Still relatable.~~ This seminal work of literature can certainly be returned to where it was.

Category 3

Articles in this category have been assessed through a content review process in the past, but may require work to be brought up to current GA/FA standard. Editors can help bring them to a level where the star or plus near their names can once again shine.

This issue's Category 3 articles are:

Byzantine Empire: From the metapedian perspective, this is perhaps our most important FA -- the oldest, promoted in 2001 (older than some of this newsletter's subscribers!), to retain FA status unbroken to the present day. Speaking exopedianly, it's still decidedly vital, with nearly three million page views in the last year. FAR was suggested late last year; it hasn't been brought to the chopping block yet, but an article this important both inside and outside of the project deserves to remain in top shape.
Underoath: This GA is recommended for GAR, with complaints about long-unaddressed maintenance tags and sections in dire need of updates. The article gets hundreds of views a day and is translated across plenty of projects.
Acute myeloid leukemia: Medical articles aren't scary! Really! They're not! If I can work on them, so can you! That aside, this FA was given a FAR notice in January. There are sourcing concerns, conveniently assisted by sources left on the talk page. Non-editor readers on the talk have raised concerns about inaccurate prognostic statements.

Letter from the Editor

This issue's reader suggestion is brought to you by Sennecaster:

Margery Wolf: Perhaps the fastest GA delist known to the project, this article was delisted two days after promotion upon discovery of foundational copyvio. Though it was reduced to just four short paragraphs, the sourcing obviously exists to create a high-quality article.

Yes, I know I said I was going to switch to monthly. Let's just go "Vat doesn't really Get Time" and run with it.

The Core Contest is on its last day of entries, and I've picked articles here with an eye to that. It's the first time it's running since 2017, and I for one am looking forward to overhauling Prehistoric religion. If you feel inspired by anything here, get in there quick!
