Ray William Johnson

 Before making new requests to add Ray William Johnson, you may find it helpful to consider whether your request expands upon the previous requests. Remember:
  • You must demonstrate notability by showing significant coverage in one or more reliable sources.
  • A high number of views on YouTube does not count as sufficient reason to add Ray William Johnson.
  • The number of subscribers is also not sufficient reason to add Ray William Johnson.
To save space, all Ray William Johnson requests (except for the most recent) are periodically "collapsed" into this box. Click "Show" to see all previous Ray William Johnson requests.

Ray William Johnson (1)

He's number 5 most subscribed. He NEEDS to be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaken Earth (talk • contribs) 00:43, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed! 184.98.42.221 (talk) 19:58, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ray William Johnson and Dave Days. Why not?

How about Ray William Johnson? He's got one of the most viewed shows in YouTube. He uploads two new episodes each week and a great number of people watches them every day. I don't mean that he should be added to the list because of that, just because he is an actual good comedian and makes interesting videos and they are interactive with viewers.

I also think that Dave Days should be added to the list because he is a great musician in many different music styles as well as comedian, and he is one of the most subscribed musicians in YouTube.

The link you provided dose not help establish notability he is only mentioned once and along with many other people. The amount of subscribers or video views dose not count for notability we need sources that are outside of YouTube. Kyle1278 02:32, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Meekakitty, RayWilliamJohnson, Juicystar07, AllThatGlitters21

This list is WAY too old and all the people in my topic should be on this list. Most of the people in the article are one hit wonders and dont even deserve to be on this list. Please update this list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.136.172 (talk) 22:53, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any reliable sources that are about those artists? The entries on the list received significant coverage in such sources to be included. In order to add those you propose, you need to demonstrate a similar amount of coverage for each of them. SoWhy 23:04, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Cory Williams is already listed and do you have any sources outside of YouTube for Ray William Johnson? Kyle1278 02:21, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Don't add Ray William Johnson unless a good reference is found because the iStardom.com link doesn't assert notability. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 07:22, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 88.108.146.127, 3 May 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} Please add Ray WIlliam Johnson to the list

88.108.146.127 (talk) 08:21, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

no Declined Please provide further information, like a reason for why the person in question should be considered notable and reliable sources verifying this. Remember, a high number of views alone is not sufficient to be included in the list. Also, a link to the YouTube profile of the person in question would be a good thing. Regards SoWhy 11:23, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I had to take Ray William Johnson off the list due to an iStardom.com link not asserting notability. iStardom seems nothing more then a profile of different people. Although well and good, not really useful in this situation. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 16:37, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RAY WILLIAM JOHNSON!! WHERE IS HIS NAME? X(

{{editsemiprotected}} I would like it if Ray William Johnson's name was added, after all he is one of the MOST famous Youtube superstars known. I was disappointed not to see his name on the list. His videos are often featured and the most watched ones on Youtube. He even has a t-shirt selling in Hot Topic like hot cakes. I would really appreciate it his name would be added, as he is THE most well known comedian on Youtube and I actually respect that guy. Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/user/RayWilliamJohnson This template must be substituted.

The YouTube link is useful, but not enough to establish notability - do you have any links to coverage by a reliable source? For example, if Ray William Johnson was mentioned in a newspaper that would establish that he was notable - and we'd use the newspaper article to cite notability. Cheers, TFOWRThis flag once was red 12:13, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
We've been over this about Ray William Johnson. Read the talk page before starting another section on Ray William Johnson. Just continue an existing section about him. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 00:34, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 83.163.102.185, 31 August 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} RayWilliamJohnson should be on the list. He is in the top 10 most subscribed of all time and has a very popular youtube show called equals 3. 83.163.102.185 (talk) 16:23, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess this person doesn't want to look through the other countless sections we've had on adding him. They want him added, but never bother to give us suitable reference for him. I guess looking for one is too much hassle... Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 20:38, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Got the stuff to add Ray William Johnson, so please add him.

Edit Request from me...

Well, I'm not good at putting it references on Wikipedia, but I am good at research.

I have found three news articles that mention Ray William Johnson:

http://www.muscatinejournal.com/news/opinion/columns/article_dd78bc44-b166-11df-8b6b-001cc4c002e0.html

Add him please. PokeHomsar (talk) 00:17, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you are so good at research, then what's with the poor links? They don't show how he is notable. The first one is an editorial and those are generally POV rather then NPOV. The second one just says him name. The third is popular videos of the week. We can't go off popularity. Finally keep discussions about this person in one of the previous sections. We don't need a new section every time someone wants him added. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 05:14, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 24.193.58.166, 2 September 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} Ray William Johnson is not mentioned on the list and currently has the fourth most subscribed channel on youtube. This means that he has more subscribers and views than most of the people on the list and he should be acknowledged.

24.193.58.166 (talk) 03:35, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are you serious? Did you not read the umpteenth discussion on him two sections above? If not, then do so because I am not going to keep repeating the same thing as to why he is not on the list. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 05:01, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Hazard-SJ Talk 05:54, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from HerrAirbust, 14 September 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} Hey, Can RayWilliamJohnson be added please? He is number 3 most subscribed to so I think he should be in the list. Thanks

HerrAirbust (talk) 20:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]


 Not done Do you have any reliable sources for them? A high number of subscribers alone is not sufficient for inclusion. Regards SoWhy 20:55, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Once again, please keep the discussion on him to one of the previous sections. Nobody is willing to provide reliable sources to show his notability. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 21:10, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 64.49.112.26, 5 October 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} Request to add RayWilliamJohnson to the list, due to his being one of the most subscribed users on youtube and increasing popularity. I recognize he has had no substanstial recognition outside of youtube, but his contributions to the youtube are impossible to ignore. Also, a request to add Schmoyoho, due to their increasing popularity from their "Auto-Tune the news segments" and frequent songs created from various viral videos. 64.49.112.26 (talk) 18:05, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done You're right, he doesn't seem to have had any substantial recognition outside YouTube (hence the vast list of previous requests above...) Regardless, we do need references from reliable sources (not YouTube!) before any one gets added. TFOWR 18:15, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Victor ?????

I think that Victor ????? (Gimmeabreakman / Gimmeaflakeman / maggiesensei [all the same person]) should be added to this list as I've noticed Hanna Minx is on there but has 3x less subscribers and they are both part of the j-vlog celeb status.

Here are the sources: http://www.youtube.com/user/Gimmeabreakman http://www.youtube.com/user/Gimmeaflakeman http://www.youtube.com/user/gimmeabonedog

Those are the three that I know, however I misread his info and it turns out it's not 300,000+ subscribers, those were just channel views for one of his channels. The only other thing I can think is that he seems to be the ring-leader and helps organize the Youtube J-vBlog community. So as far as this edit is concerned, yes he's very famous in the Japanese vlogging community, but he's not as famous as hannah minx. My apologies.

All the sources you provided are from YouTube, subscribers and view counts do not assert notability. You need to provide article outsides of YouTube such as news articles. Kyle1278 00:57, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Smileifulovemebaby, 2 October 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} I would like to suggest that either I, or someone else add three other major Youtube personalities.

1-Brentalfloss, known for writing lyrics and making videos to video game songs. Now featured on Screw Attack, and has released an album http://www.youtube.com/user/brentalfloss?feature=chclk 2- The Angry Video Game Nerd (The Angry Nintendo Nerd), aka James Rolfe. Reviews and critiques exceptionally old and bad games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Angry_Video_Game_Nerd http://www.youtube.com/user/JamesNintendoNerd also on Screw Attack. 3- Mega64 (aka Rocco Botte Derrick Acosta Shawn Chatfield Garrett A. Hunter) known for making skits based on video games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega64 http://www.youtube.com/user/roccob64?blend=1&ob=4 http://www.youtube.com/user/IGNentertainment?feature=chclk


Please consider adding these well known Youtube personalities to the list. Thanks!


Smileifulovemebaby (talk) 21:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

James Rolfe was not on YouTube first. The rest need references proving how they are notable. As well, there is no need to double post your request. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 00:10, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: per above. Notability needs to be established first. Thanks, Stickee (talk) 03:23, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: Sorry I didn't mean to post it twice. Weren't the youtube, and wiki pages enough? Judging by the views, and the fact that two of them are on screw attack as well, I think that's saying enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smileifulovemebaby (talk • contribs) 18:29, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say keep her on. She might have been on AGT first but she has gained notability only afterwards, when she was (re)discovered on YouTube.

I'm unsure whether he fits on this list. It's for people who rose to prominence due to YouTube, not people who became prominent and then contributed to YouTube. Based on his article, I think one could argue that he rose to prominence on Metacafe and then moved to YouTube afterwards and thus he is not within the list's scope. But I'd like to hear what others think about it. Regards SoWhy 17:23, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
