Poor quality. Needs deletion until fixed.

This article is such poor quality (grammar, sourcing, linking, citations, content, opinions, etc.) that it should just be deleted. Lamarr Otems (talk) 23:51, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You mean rewrite in a way that suits thrw corprate media terrorist regime? Reagens175 (talk) 01:02, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removed "third-party source needed" from Dexerto editor-at-large position

The sentence about Lewis becoming editor-at-large at Dexerto is cited with a link to Dexerto's website, which was marked "third-party source needed." I think the standard independent source rules can be relaxed here. I do not commonly see this disclaimer in similar circumstances. Mokadoshi (talk) 05:42, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's normal, but I don't feel strongly about it. Surely it was mentioned somewhere by one of the esports awards-type sites about him? Alyo (chat·edits) 16:17, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality disclaimer

I've moved around some stuff to make more sense. With the new organization, I've moved the League of Legends subreddit ban out of the Controversies section to be with the other journalism stuff. But now, the only thing in the Controversies section is about a fight. It seems this is weight and should be cut down. I do believe the article should cover this, as it is notable that DreamHack (a large tournament organizer) would ban working with a journalist, but what section would this go in? Mokadoshi (talk) 06:43, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It should just be in the Broadcasting section, since it was during his work as a broadcast desk host. Controversy sections should be incorporated into the main body text if possible. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 14:30, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved it in for now, but we should either find pre-2015 broadcast work that Lewis did, or cut the section down for weight reasons. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 14:32, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
