Fantastic Foursome

Howell has also been known as part of the internet group "The Fantastic Foursome". The group has been known to get together on various occasions to make videos together and is very popular amongst fans. The foursome consists of Dan Howell, his Phil Lester (Howell's roommate), friend Chris Kendall (crabstickz) and friend PJ Ligouri (KickthePJ). Howell has also been known to appear alongside other internet vloggers such as Alex Day (nerimon) Carrie Hope Fletcher (ItsWayPastMyBedtime) Finn and Jack Harries (JacksGap) and Charlie McDonnell (charlieissocoollike). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.225.82.134 (talk) 03:51, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article Name

It should be 'Dan Howell' surely? It is the name he is most commonly known as, I have not once heard him referred to as 'Daniel'. --JKSD93 (talk) 20:40, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

reply: he calls himself "Daniel" in quite a few video's including here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dc1PED23xc — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malfoy999 (talk • contribs) 14:03, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 26 January 2013

Is it possible to list Dan's full name, as in 'Daniel 'Dan' James Howell'? I believe he has mentioned his middle name in a VYou response, and in videos, It's definitely James. 101.86.83.28 (talk) 15:45, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

Dan's sexuality shouldn't be listed, he doesn't want it to be.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. — TheJJJunk (say hello) 00:34, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also we dont know Dans sexuality so theres no way to be accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.5.170 (talk) 05:46, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

I don't understand why the photo I added was removed. It was of both Dan and Phil Lester. I know it shows two people when the article is about one person, but it is the only image we currently have that Wikipedia is allowed to use hence why I added it as a temporary measure before a more suitable image is found. Could someone explain? Can we have some consus as to what we should to here? --Jwikiediting (talk) 23:20, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Jwikiediting: The image was removed because it has been uploaded under a claim of fair use, the image did not meet the criteria as used in this article. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:38, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 24 November 2013

I wish for Dan Howell to be added to Category:British video bloggers.

Best regards, Nexus000 (talk) 04:22, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can this picture become the picture on his Wikipedia page please? I uploaded it on your official picture website Wikipedia commons — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malfoy999 (talk • contribs) 17:18, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Hottest lad of the year"??

Just a request for comment from anyone interested, is this award really notable enough to be in a Wikipedia article? There are loads of magazines with awards for 'hot' guys but they rarely appear in 'awards' sections in their Wikipedia entry. Why should this be in there? I'd rather post here than remove it and cause controversy. Thanks --BZTMPS ★ · (talk? contribs?) 20:07, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Change Subscriber Number

Dan's channel recently gained 4 million subscribers on 11 September 2014. The data needs to be refreshed.

Platinum0078 (talk) 15:36, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 20 September 2014

Dan Howell, in collaboration with Phil Lester, has created the gaming channel, "DanandPhilGAMES" on September 12, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8fokt1TUzk&list=UUGjylN-4QCpn8XJ1uY-UOgA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuhwvTYFvVZjyBVXc9T7CrA Abs0luteZer0K (talk) 16:12, 20 September 2014 (UTC) Abs0luteZer0K[reply]

Not done for now: would like to see a reliable third party source that says this, and that says this is of interest Cannolis (talk) 04:53, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on October 15th 2014

I feel like it would be necessary to mention that, on October 1st, 2014, Howell announced on his Facebook page that he and Lester would not carry on working on the Super Amazing Project for My Damn Channel, as they preferred to concentrate on their Radio 1 show. He posted this on his verified Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/danisnotonfire/posts/10152427898698481 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lalasarahlala (talk • contribs) 20:16, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removing 'hottest lad' awards

I am removing the 'hottest lad' awards from the awards section of both Dan and Phil's Wikipedia pages. No other biographical article mentions the award, and the award itself is hardly encyclopedic or notable - dozens of newspapers rate the looks of guys, so I don't see why Sugarscape should be treated differently. No one replied to my request for comment above either, so it seems like the issue is non-controversial. If you revert, please leave a reason here! Thanks -- BZTMPS ★ · (talk? contribs?) 12:51, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The 2014 Lovie Awards Internet Video Person of the Year

12 Year Old Dan's Webpage

I would like to add a link to Dan's website he made when he was 12 Here it is. I would also like to add text that states that he made it when he was 12. Ayuxusw (talk) 05:12, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done The site is inaccessible. And I'd like a citation proving that it's made by him. Zhaofeng Li [talk... contribs...] 06:15, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Awards edit request on 4 January 2015

Please add the following awards he has received into the 'Awards' section; He has received The hottest Lad award in 2012, which is stated several times on SugarScapes website,[Source: http://www.sugarscape.com/lads/news/g31/hottest-lads-2012/ }and The LOVIE INTERNET VIDEO PERSON OF THE YEAR award in 2014 which is stated in the Lovie awards website under the Winner page [Source: http://winners.lovieawards.eu/#!sa=558]! NOTE: The Hottest Lad award was previously removed because someone decided that is should not be on his wikipedia page because its 'hardly notable' Which is well, false, It IS an AWARD that he received that should be noted -- End request --> SmytheHouse (talk) 23:13, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. Edit requests are meant for simple edits that are not disputed - clearly if this has been removed by another editor, the addition is disputed. Also, just because the award exists does not mean it necessarily must be added, the notability and importance of the awarding source must be considered. A parallel example would be being ranked on People's most beautiful list; the source is much more notable than Sugarscape.com, which has an Alexa ranking of 41,000, and thus there would likely be less opposition to that. Cannolis (talk) 00:23, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dans Website

Dan's twelve Year old website, which wasnt added a few days ago because someone wanted proof that he made it, ( http://www.freewebs.com/dan_h/ ) IS made by him.

Dan Howell's book

Dan and his flatmate Phil Lester have written a book called the Amazing Book is Not On Fire. Maybe add this into Career as a new category? Sources [2] and [3] from Dan's verified Youtube channel. Also, this is the official amazon page to buy the book. [4]

"During a YouNow live chat with fans in August 2015, in response to a query as to whether he was a feminist, he replied "absolutely" before criticising jokes, misunderstandings and ignorance surrounding feminism. He also described the ignorance surrounding feminism as "honestly terrifying and dangerous" and commented that it makes him "panic for the future of humanity"."

I don't agree with that decision. Personal beliefs and views should form part of the personal life section. The comments were notable coming from a prominent male YouTuber. AusLondonder (talk) 05:42, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@AusLondonder: If not in the Personal Life section, it should be moved to the Career section. It seems fairly unfit to portray his personal beliefs in the section, which presents the facts about his early life.

The role of Phil Lester is not portrayed correctly for Phil is Dan's boyfriend and potential husband.
