Welcome to your first DYK! The article meets the criteria for length with at least over 1500 characters. No strong evidence of copyright violation. The hook is cited inline. You don't need to do quid pro quo because this is your first nom. Trillfendi (talk) 19:37, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Trillfendi and Pladica: this nomination has a "failed verification tag" and an unsourced paragraph; could that be worked out, please? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 08:40, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Theleekycauldron: I have removed the failed verification sentence, where is the unsourced paragraph you're referring to? Pladica (talk) 16:10, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Pladica: Every paragraph must end in an inline citation after the lede. Right now, there are three paragraphs whose final sentences do not include one. I see the article is getting edited at a steady clip, so that may be part of the issue. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:17, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - @Theleekycauldron: @Sammi Brie: All paragraphs should now be sourced, I'll keep an eye on the page over the next little while to make sure it stays that way. Pladica (talk) 05:03, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        @Pladica and Theleekycauldron: Yes, revision 1062230509 meets the requirements. I do note that the last user before you to edit is a User:Jerma985... The rest of the review from Trillfendi stands. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:09, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Kitboga link in Associated acts links to Kitbuqa, obviously not the same guy. 99.194.19.96 (talk) 13:55, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fix TYPO* on 3rd line of Early Life from "Jermey" to "Jeremy". Change from "Jermey immediately went to work as a freelance wedding photographer" to "Jeremy immediately went to work as a freelance wedding photographer"

Remove that he has had "brief stunts as a waiter" in "Graduating with a B.S. in Communications with a 2.6 GPA, Jermey immediately went to work as a freelance wedding photographer[7], along with having brief stunts as a waiter and a substitute teacher". He has said he has worked as a waiter in the past, but in an interview reiterates that he has never worked as a waiter... possibly the former was simply a comedic bit he was doing on a livestream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSLf7uuMFuA&t=3638s "I've never been a waiter before!"

Change instances of "Jeremy Harrington" to "Jeremy Elbertson", by his own admission, in a statement on an interview with Tyler McVicker Sep 17 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSLf7uuMFuA&t=3300s

There has been an unconfirmed profile created in 2007 on a voice acting portfolio site under the name "Jeremy Harrington" that may have belonged to Jeremy, and in a past livestream he has shown a certificate he states belongs to him that was visibly presented to one "Jeremy Harrington". However he does not currently refer to himself as Jeremy Harrington, and has performed under the surname and refers to himself as "Elbertson" professionally during his twitch entertainer career since at least 2018.

Elbertson or Harrington?

There seems to be some disagreement on whether Jerma's real last name is Elbertson or Harrington. Therefore I think it should be discussed here before further edits are made to his name in the main article.

When Jerma was asked about his real last name during a September 17, 2020 live streamed interview, he insisted that it was Elbertson and that Harrington was a "fake last name—someone made it up years ago and I'm just like what the fuck are you talking about". However, the first known use of Harrington is cited to be from a Voice123 account created on May 5, 2005 under the name Jeremy Harrington. Despite it having voice samples that sound very similar to Jerma, we can only speculate as to whether or not it belongs to him, and it is not our jobs to conduct original analyses of potential evidence. Additionally, Jerma often uses Elbertson rather than Harrington as his last name in his self-published works (e.g., the "Meet the Elbertsons" video and the use of "Elbertson and Sons, LLC" on his website). Given this info, I think it is clear that his last name should be written here as Elbertson as that is what confirmed sources point to. CoronalMassAffection (talk) 22:54, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think given the voice123 account, it's more likely Harrington is his real name, and as of right now with his comments stating the name is fake, he's just trying to keep his name private ArtVDiaries (talk) 15:41, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That could be true but I do agree with OP in that asserting so in the article counts as original research. Consisename (talk) 20:41, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 23 December 2021

I would like to replace the photo on the page, given the [concerns on it's free use status], with [this photo here], which is stated to have been provided by photographer. ArtVDiaries (talk) 15:41, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Addition: I would also like to see if it's worth adding any further information about his further influences on internet culture, such as the "When the impostor is sus" and "Incredible AI deepfake technology compiles every serial killer into one man" image macros?

Fix the image. Its heresy against the Jerma lore to not use the correct image when representing Jeremy. 31.121.173.154 (talk) 03:43, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add this photo to the article, given how it is stated to have been provided by the photographer.

I would also like to add a section specifically regarding his larger cultural influence on the internet such as the "When the impostor is sus" and "Incredible AI deepfake technology compiles every serial killer into one man" image macros, as well as the "Rat Movie", usage of his audio on tiktok, etc etc. ArtVDiaries (talk) 21:17, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
