Contested deletion
[edit]This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) --Lovatoxcabeyo (talk) 18:02, 28 April 2015 (UTC) Because both Rose Dix and Rosie Spaughton are well known YouTubers that have reached over 50.000.000 million views on their YouTube channel that proves their popular enough to be referred in this Encyclopedia.
- @Lovatoxcabeyo: The number of YouTube views isn't directly an indication of importance, but coverage in The Huffington Post, Metro and BBC Radio 1 is. I've added sources from all three and declined the speedy. Given our concern over systemic bias and lack of prominent women figures on Wikipedia, this looks like an article well worth improving.

Rose's DOB
[edit]I'm not sure whether her own YouTube video is an acceptable source for a date of birth on Wikipedia, but Rose's birthday is mentioned in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3O6B5FVGMU&t=4m58. 2003:6C:CD4A:5E00:C10B:7ACE:79B5:2859 (talk) 21:38, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

blp=yes vs. blpo=yes
[edit]Intuitively I'd replace blp=yes by blpo=yes, because the page is primarily about the YouTubers, not about their lives.TAG / ROSIE SPAUGHTON On a real WP:BLP primary sources aren't too bad, as long as it's no pure self-promotion or other rubbish. –84.46.53.34 (talk) 10:34, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
Subjective Statement and Need for Citation under Radio and television
[edit]The sentence "Camila is the pair’s ultimate celebrity crush, who they often fan-girl over in their videos" is opinionated, rather than factual. I suggest that it either be edited or removed. And, the entire paragraph ("The couple are very vocal ... In October 2017, Rose and Rosie had the opportunity to interview Camila Cabello at the BBC Radio 1’s Teen Awards") needs a citation. Otherwise, we do not have proof when or if Rose and Rosie interviewed Camila Cabello. SWAT2019 (talk) 05:22, 26 February 2019 (UTC)SWAT2019
New married name of 'Daughton'
[edit]Although they addressed the adoption of a combined married name of 'Daughton' (i.e. conflation of 'Dix' and 'Spaughton') in a recent video (linked in the article), their social media doesn't seem to bear out an actual change, perhaps implying the legal process has not (yet?) been undertaken, in which case this article is misrepresentative of fact. Perhaps the article should only reflect the apparently pending change once evidence exists that such has actually occurred?
- Recently the article was again changed to give "Rose and Rosie Daughton" at the top; although they said they've chosen this combined married name, their social media etc still reflect "Dix" and (to a lesser extent since she uses "Roxetera") "Spaughton"; is there a reliable source to indicate they actually have adopted- and, equally relevant, USE- this name of "Daughton"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.79.130 (talk) 01:09, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
- As of July 2021, they still use "Dix" and "Spaughton", as per their social media accounts and media stories on the birth of their baby, so the article being changed to imply they're using the name/ are best known as "Daughton" is incorrect.
- Rosie's secondary Instagram account, https://www.instagram.com/alifefullofroses/?hl=en , gives "Rosie Daughton", but Rose's Instagram and Twitter are both still "Rose Dix/ Rose Ellen Dix", which doesn't make the situation very clear, but it's evidently not accurate to say they're BOTH publicly using the surname at this time.
- This issue once again arose in the article, with someone converting all "Dix" and "Spaughton" mentions to "Daughton"; again, their social media profiles do not reflect this change "officially", and, the kicker, Companies House- https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09224443/officers- still gives them as "Dix" and "Spaughton", this requiring up-to-date legal documentation which would need to give their legal, official names. The filing history shows no update with new name of "Daughton", so all it amounts to thus far is an in-joke/ unofficial name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.205.41 (talk) 12:29, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- Up-to-date legal documentation as required for a name change in this article. [1] [2] Erikleen (talk) 18:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Child's name
[edit]Why do people keep adding the child's name, as given by the parents on Instagram etc, without providing a citation? They seem to think attributing it to the current two articles mentioning his birth- neither of which gives his name- suffices, which it does not as the information added cannot be corroborated. Find a reliable source, attribute the name thereto, make the edit. This is not difficult.
- Not sure why people... KEEP mindlessly adding this. I get it, they have fans, aw, isn't the baby cute, etc etc... but there hasn't yet been provided a reliable source. So don't add the name. Without a reliable source. This is EXTREMELY simple, and just makes those persistently adding it look, frankly, remedial.
