Notability Guidelines and Proposed Deletion

[edit]

The subject is not notable enough to have a Wikipedia entry as per Wikipedia Notability Guidelines. He is an impersonator who has a YouTube channel and has been featured in a single news item on a local news programme. There are hardly any other third party or news sources relating to him and his YouTube channel and videos have less hits than more popular YouTube stars who have millions of views and have even been parodied on mainstream TV shows and cartoons, yet even they don't have a wikipedia entry. Wikipedia is not a directory, it is an encyclopedia and so self publicity entries are not allowed. 94.9.20.172 (talk) 07:57, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]


17th December 2011, this definitely strikes me as an ego/advertising piece for the individual concerned — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.175.186 (talk) 19:12, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If Steve Riks qualifies as Wikipedia material then every YouTube account owner should receive a Wikipedia article as well. This entry is prototypical self promotion. JRSIV (talk) 20:38, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Riks may not qualify as WP:NOTABLE. A formal WP:XFD would test that. But you also seem to be claiming that Riks himself is responsible for this entire article, which seems a little outlandish, to say the least? You're also suggesting that "every YouTube account owner" has appeared on national television? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:19, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

I think the external links section for this page is a little spammy. In particular, the Facebook and Youtube links seem to clash with WP:LINKSTOAVOID. The wirralglobe.co.uk link is dead, as is the liverpoolecho.co.uk link. The dangerousminds.net and official website links are the least questionable of the lot. In keeping with this, I've left those two and removed the others. FalconK (talk) 10:33, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen Facebook and YouTube used as links in many other bio articles, especially where the subject is a musician. Are these sites banned by Wikipedia? I'm not sure you can fully "understand" Riks without looking at his YouTube account, after all that's the basis for his fame. But I won't battle over those two. If links are dead, I think it's generally preferable to add [dead link] tags, to allow a search for new ones? Martinevans123 (talk) 10:45, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
