I'm a little confused as to why this article was rejected. It was said that YouTube links shouldn't be used, but this is an article about an established YouTube personality. How is someone supposed to reference their work without sourcing a link to YouTube? Also, the blogs that are cited are established entertainment critics who comment on the medium in which the subject operates. G4, The Guardian, Tubefilter, and Slant Magazine are all reputable sites who have reviewed the work of the subject, which is why they were cited.

As for sources "too close" to the subject, how else is someone supposed to write a description of the content without citing the content itself? It is a primary source -- the most valuable in scholarly writing. What better source for how much money the crowdfunding campaign raised for the series than the IndieGoGo site for the series itself? How better to know how many episodes of the series have aired than a link to the series' IMDb page? Why not link to the series own description page when providing a synopsis of what happens in the show?

I realized when reviewing the draft that some of the citations were for the wrong article, they should've been linking to an interview and writeup about the subject and instead were linking to a different page. Please give this article another look over with these details in mind.
