Article history

... that YouTube channel All Gas No Brakes is influenced by the works of Saturday Night Live cast member Kyle Mooney? Source: A lot of people ask me about my influences, and I guess I always sort of enjoyed different kinds of interview content. Things like Kyle [Mooney’s] interviews are really good.
- ALT1:... that plans to develop a television series based on the YouTube channel All Gas No Brakes began when Eric Wareheim sent a Twitter DM to Andrew Callaghan? Source: I get a Twitter DM from Eric, and I’m literally in the process of drafting and signing the paperwork. Eric’s like, “Yo, man, you want to make a TV show?” And I’m like, “What the fuck? Yes.” He calls me, and is like, “Okay, let’s do this. Let’s get this thing going.”
- ALT2:... that All Gas No Brakes presenter Andrew Callaghan interviewed Juggalos and Occupy Seattle protesters after one of his teachers convinced him to drop out of high school and pursue his passions? Source: The only exception was in Callaghan’s junior year, when he met his journalism teacher, the first person to believe in his storytelling. Aged 17, Callaghan was encouraged by his teacher to leave school and cover the subjects he wanted. “I was interviewing people about buying drugs on the Silk Road [website], living in tents with the Occupy Seattle movements and interviewing the homeless people occupying that zone. I would go downtown and hang out with juggalos at West Lake Center and interview them about meth.”
- ALT3:... that before creating the YouTube channel All Gas No Brakes, Andrew Callaghan performed man-on-the-street interviews along Bourbon Street? Source: You first started doing late-night interviews with people walking down Bourbon Street

Comment: Decided to test out the DYK Helper tool, but failed on me twice while I was trying to create this, so I ended up doing it manually. It's late for me and now my head hurts as a result, so please let me know if there are any errors.

Moved to mainspace by PrairieKid (talk), Sheila1988 (talk), and Bait30 (talk). Nominated by Bait30 (talk) at 08:04, 27 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]

This is just a comment but I was wondering if other hooks could be proposed here. The hooks proposed above do not appear to have much of an appeal to non-American readers due to a reliance on mentioning names and places that most non-American readers may not be familiar with, although there is some potential with ALT0 (given that SNL is probably at least somewhat well-known outside the US). In the case of ALT0, it may be a good idea to mention exactly how Mooney influenced the YouTube channel (and perhaps mention that it is a YouTube channel), since for international readers the SNL mention or Mooney may not mean much. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 09:19, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try, but it would be difficult considering that creator's stated intention for the YouTube channel is to capture "true Americana", so almost everything is inherently US-centric. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 16:40, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ALT4:... that YouTube channel All Gas No Brakes is influenced by the works of British documentarian Louis Theroux? Source: A lot of the video journalists that I look up to like Louis Theroux, Michael Moore, and various Daily Show correspondents present clear elements of comedy in their work. it’s more fun that way. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 16:40, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That still sounds a bit niche. If you can find a source about the "capturing true Americana" statement and add it to the article, that may actually work well as a hook. Another possibility could be mentioning the creator's hitchhiking past. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:52, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT5:... that YouTube channel All Gas No Brakes contains interviews with flat earthers, QAnon adherents, and other groups that represent "true Americana"? Source: Andrew Callaghan, says he is on a mission to give a platform to “true Americana”. Travelling across the US in an old RV, the 23-year-old journalism graduate has interviewed senior advisers to Donald Trump, stoners who claim “Isis is really Israel” and top-hat-wearing Flat Earthers ... His videos expose how antisemitic conspiracy theories “are at the root of all of that. Flat Earth, QAnon, it all comes back to an idea of a global conglomerate elite...

Thanks, that sounds good. The article meets DYK requirements for a new creation and no close paraphrasing was found. ALT5 (the only approved hook) is cited inline and verified in the source. A QPQ has been performed. This is almost good to go, there's just something that needs to be clarified: the article says Callaghan is 22, but The Guardian instead says he's 23. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:13, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how that happened, but it’s been fixed. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 15:52, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I think we should be good to go here. I'm a bit wary about the use of the word "fringe" in the article, but given that it's used in both of the sources it should be acceptable in this case. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 07:36, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

Andrew Callaghan should be merged into All Gas No Brakes. Callaghan's notability is not independent of All Gas No Brakes. Also, much of the information in the Callaghan article is the same as the stuff on the AGNB article. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 02:38, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom.—indopug (talk) 09:08, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Proposer or other interested editor should consider doing the merge. GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 04:29, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Due to Callaghan's departure from the show I will be creating his own page and removing his personal information from this page. CaffeinAddict (talk) 05:28, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
