Binksternet, regarding this edit, I'm sure that the reason that material was there is because of what WP:Lead states about summarizing the most significant aspects of the topic. That Bieber began on YouTube/gained a substantial following on YouTube before becoming famous is one of the most significant points. I'm not stating that all the manager material should have been there in the lead, though. Flyer22 (talk) 00:13, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
The most important thing is to tell the reader in the first few sentences why the topic is important. We should say right off the bat how popular Bieber has been and how much music he has moved. The stuff about his being discovered is much less important, even if it satisfies WP:LEAD. Binksternet (talk) 04:37, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
The current lead is inadequate, but it was that way before your aforementioned edits to it, of course. I still feel that the YouTube aspect I mentioned (not all of what you reverted) should be in the lead, but I mostly leave the formatting of this article up to others.
