Google collaboration?

I don't believe that Casey ever made a movie specifically for Google as it says in the article. Can someone verify? I think they are referring to this video that he (Casey) shot on Google Glass. Gingakei (talk) 20:33, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fines

Any information of how much he had to pay for fines and law suites? For example spray painting advertisement posters or printing fake $2 american dollar currency notes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.115.116.33 (talk) 21:01, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

wow

it's also interesting that this guy hasn't done anything. it's like a long list of mediocre facts. what is the big deal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ulanda5 (talk • contribs) 22:37, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Picture(s)?

This person needs more pictures for the info box or the article in general. Can anyone find or upload some to add to this article?Adog104 (talk) 21:21, 10 September 2015 (UTC)Adog104[reply]

@Adog104: I added a photo released under CC by Neistat to the infobox. I couldn't find any free photos online of him. Mrtea (talk) 22:17, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrtea: Thank you buddy. Adog104 ^{Talk to me} 02:01, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I propose that Neistat Brothers be merged into Casey Neistat. I do not think this would be too difficult as the most of the information on the Neistat Brothers article is already covered in the Casey Neistat article. Also, very few pages link to the Neistat Brothers article.Sro23 (talk) 21:47, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone concur? It would be a very easy merge and redirect. Sro23 (talk) 01:09, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Seems like most coverage is about Casey. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:24, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I suggest merging the content about Casey into this article, but keep Neistat Brothers for content about the HBO series. A quick Google search shows a lot of sources about the show. If Van Neistat meets notability criteria, let him have his own article. Mrtea (talk) 13:34, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I agree with Mrtea. However, I would even go so far as to having 3 pages: one for the HBO series, one for Casey, and the last about all 3 brothers (youngest being dean, an accomplished actor and stuntman). Alternatively, we could keep it like it is and merge the Casey-centric stuff from the series page to his personal page, and then create a new page for Dean (he should meet the criteria, right? I'd say he's more worthy of his own page than Van is). But I think the first option makes more sense. FROZYO! (talk) 18:59, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I believe that Casey Neistat's page should be kept as its own single page because his life is based around his youtube channel and his job. The Neistat brothers can be another page because they have a whole other history, and it can be used as links within Casey's biography. Sahilkarnani (talk) 12:25, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I think that Mrtea has hit the nail on the head. "The Neistat Brothers" wiki page should be on the HBO series and should be re-created into being a stub about it at first then with further expansion. I am able to edit the "Neistat Brothers" wiki page and turn it into a proper TV show page, but first I have to re-watch the eight episodes and summarise them :) Nicnote (talk) 14:37, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: You must be kidding - Van Neistat directed all the Tom Sachs movies including "A space program" that premiered at SXSW 2015. He is much more private but not the least bit less important than Casey Neistat. The work that they did together should still be referenced under "The Neistat brothers", although I too agree that the page could equally well be about the TV show rather than the duo.

iPod's Dirty Secret "viewcount"

According to this article, "Within six days the video was viewed a million times". The WaPo article that is linked to a few sentences later (original link dead, syndicated copy here at the the Spartanberg Herald-Journal) says "a month later, nearly a million Internet surfers (and counting) had come to know the Neistat Brothers". Where did a million in six days come from? The article only (vaguely) indicates that www.ipods-dirtysecret.com had less than a million visitors in a month.

It was a widespread viral video that I remember seeing myself, but there's absolutely no point in specifying a specific viewcount to a Quicktime video either shared through emails or embedded as a copied file on other video hosting sites.

Danwroy, your point seems reasonable. Such specificity would need to be properly sourced anyway. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:23, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
