Twitter blocks

This person has created a massive list of blocked Twitter accounts - see the thread announcing his promotion at Y Combinator in which poster after poster declares they've never even heard of the man and he's blocked them (this writer included): https://twitter.com/sama/status/1564256564180951040

Has anyone run across well-sourced material that discusses this? Definitely seems notable. 24.130.98.87 (talk) 06:24, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese name

@SriTribhuvana is there a source of the Chinese name that you added? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Garry_Tan&oldid=1121146934 🌊PacificDepths^talk|contrib 09:16, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. https://twitter.com/garrytan SriTribhuvana (talk) 13:04, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SriTribhuvana can we find a reliable source (not Twitter) to satisfy WP:RS? 🌊PacificDepths^talk|contrib 03:29, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Garry’s Tan bio to be updated, given he’s been heading Y Combinator for > 8 months now.

I know Garry personally, so I only updated his title in the lead paragraph with a citation. Because his title was coming up wrong in the Google Knowledge Panels. Someone else should probably go through and actually update update. There is a lot in the news. Jenny8lee (talk) 07:10, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Overreliant on Gil Duran

This article is reliant on Gil Duran quotes to push a non-neutral POV hostile to Tan. If we have any kind of normative analysis of him, it should be in its own section, with a variety of sources. Hi! (talk) 08:35, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
