Comments left by AfC reviewers

Comment: Hyperallergic seems to pass most reasonable qualifications as a RELIABLESOURCE in spite of a tentative "blogazine" categorization on its own article, so that and the Gamer article should cover GNG between them. The subject was professionally affiliated with Polygon but I think it's up in the air if it falls under COISOURCE or not, its rankings should count towards the "recognized body of work" criterion of NAUTHOR either way.

Article is long enough and published a day before DYK submission. Article is presentable, well-sourced, and copyvio-free. Hook is interesting and sourced. QPQ not needed. Good to go. Thank you for your nomination Orchastrattor! Kimikel (talk) 02:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commendations

Geller's a favorite of mine, surprised it took this long for him to get an article. Good job to those who worked on bringing this to fruition. SunTunnels (talk) 01:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has what I would generally consider some justified skepticism around the notability of YouTube channels so I didn't even consider creating the page until the physical book release he had just this year, IMO the Gamer article is really what pushed him over the edge for GNG and it never would have gotten out of AFC before then.

Can someone please set the primary sources made by Geller into a Primary sources references section? The current citation format is unfamiliar to me. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 19:49, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
