Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: This article was quite recently deleted at AfD. It seems you've created it independently, possibly unaware of that. You have a few sources not discussed at the AfD, but they're pretty iffy in terms of qualifying for notability, so on the whole this article is still on shaky ground. As such, I'm removing its autopatrolled status to give an independent reviewer the opportunity to check its notability.

IMHO the article gives a highly accurate description of the channel. I think it would be close to offensive to simply delete the work of the author. Wikipedia has dozens of types of notes for the issues you described, so why not use one of those instead of yanking the whole thing? 2A02:21B4:9E22:FE00:201E:D793:7CA0:C39 (talk) 20:34, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chill it, there was already a discussion this month that established this article's notability, and it's linked at the top of this page.
Also, notability maintenance tags are supposed to attract attention from editors to either save or delete the article. Aaron Liu (talk) 20:44, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm shocked by how easy work from volunteers here is yanked because it is not deemed worthy. As I said, attach a label/note, but don't delete work unless it's outright of terrible quality. 2A02:21B4:9E22:FE00:90AF:9D68:B66F:E053 (talk) 21:13, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's the encyclopedia where anyone can edit. Aaron Liu (talk) 21:33, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to raise my concerns here about notability. I'm not going to start another discussion and waste peoples' time, but I'll note that I don't see the things I like to see in YouTuber/BLP articles, which are features. SWinxy (talk) 06:07, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Physics Teacher magazine should count as a (slightly weak) feature, and he headlines in 3 other sources. Aaron Liu (talk) 12:40, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

'Born' parameter in infobox

@DigitalIceAge when looking at the infobox documentation, it seems to be a template for a YouTube person, and not a channel. The born parameter is intended for people who changed their name it seems. Maybe the template needs to be fixed or another one should be created. PhotographyEdits (talk) 10:11, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Changed from birth_name to creator. I was originally tempted to use {{Infobox television}} and italicize every instance of TC, but I know that would've gone over poorly. DigitalIceAge (talk) 00:21, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah perfect, I had missed that parameter. Thanks! PhotographyEdits (talk) 11:47, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
