Unexplained addition of full stop

Why was this page moved? This article uses British English and the British custom is to not put the period after shortened words if the last letter of the shortened word is the same as in the long word. Ref1 Ref2. if it ain't broke, don't fix it  Nixinova  T  C  02:05, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the page back to it's full-stop–less name. Please discuss here if you disagree with this change.  Nixinova  T  C  04:03, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thought of something to add to the article

Maybe this article could also mention the references Jaiden Animations put in YouTube Rewind 2018 (such as PewDiePie's chair and the "Sub 2 P" on the shelf in the background). VibeScepter (talk) (contributions) 10:49, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

@344917661X: the Radioandmusic source is less than optimal but it's the only source mentioning PewDiePie. There is no shortage of more established reliable sources like the Economic Times talking specifically about T-Series (but not mentioning PewDiePie). wumbolo ^^^ 23:25, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How about using SocialBlade as a reference instead? Their stats clearly show that T-Series became the most viewed YouTube channel in February and not in January like the other source said, here are socialblade stats that back this claim up [1][2]. 344917661X (talk) 02:23, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 7 January 2019

I would like to have the power to edit this article because I would like to put down more content about this article. I believe that in the PewDiePie support section it should mention that Mr. Beast was the catlyst for the subscribe to PewDiePie movement and the leading cause of the attention that content creators have given him in this "battle" I also believe more content could be added about the other supporters and to other parts of the article like the Other section could be improved on and a better stream could be choosen because FlareTV has shown bias towards the PewDiePie camp(i.e holding the record for most repeats of Bitch Lasagna). While a stream like the SocialBlade stream has had more content and has not shown bias towards either side. Thank you. BMO4744 (talk) 21:17, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

March 2, 2019 T-Series supporters launch "Plan U" in an attempt to have T-Series become the most subscribed channel.
Match 9, 2019 T-Series surpasses PewDiePie again for a few moments

Is this a trick for PewDiePie to gain even more REAL subscribers?

I noticed that T-Series and PewDiePie had been only 100,000-300,000 subscribers apart for months, but never passed each other. It makes me think it could be intentional to trick people into subscribing to PewDiePie to prevent T-Series from winning. So maybe PewDiePie or someone bought subscribers for T-Series just to trick people into subscribing to PewDiePie so PewDiePie would gain REAL subscribers and not fake bought subscribers who wouldn't watch videos.

Sub count stream change

The FlareTV stream is very biased towards PewDiePie and I am thinking about changing it to something more neutral. I believe the Socialblade stream would be more fitting. If you oppose or have another stream that would be better please commentBMO4744 (talk) 15:43, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The original FlareTV stream was taken down because of copyright issues (which have since been resolved). I don't think it's even known who owns that channel, it just got very popular. I put a link to the Social Blade stream because it's more formal live subscription count. FallingGravity 19:09, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Formality

The article should be more formal. Introducing the article by saying "PewDiePie vs T-Series is a competition" sounds casual as it was never official. Neither side officially challenged the other as they would in an organized competition. T-Series simply gained subscribers and approached PewDiePie's sub count. This is what I think would be a better way to begin the article:

"T-Series has been projected to surpass PewDiePie in subscribers and become the most-subscribed channel on the video-sharing website, YouTube."

The first section is also informal due to its title, "Belligerents". "Belligerent" is a term only formally used in the context of war and they are recognized under international law which does not apply to either channel. I propose that the section instead be called "Channels involved".0737290632t2x273n (talk) 15:15, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Meme Review

​Musk and Roiland didn't mention T-Series in their segment of Meme Review. Unless they reveal that they were trying to help PewDiePie stay ahead of T-Series, I believe that the information about Meme Review should be moved to the section about PewDiePie's reactions or moved entirely to the article on PewDiePie. wumbolo ^^^ 21:54, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There need to be a part added where it explains that tseries overtook pewdiepie briefly after an inactive sub purge took away 20,000 of pewdiepies subs, leaving tseries with a 2,000 subgap over pewdiepie.

GTA V hack

Here's a reference [3]. wumbolo ^^^ 09:35, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Line chart?

I was thinking about a section titled "Events" or something similar. It would include the content currently in the "Other events" section plus the various projections over the months as to when would T-Series surpass PewDiePie. I'd put the section between the Background and Activism sections. I'm asking if there should be a line chart showing the numbers of subscribers of PewDiePie and T-Series (see e.g. this chart). The only problem in my opinion is that this could go on indefinitely and that it would be hard to determine the "end" of the rivalry. We probably shouldn't engage in original research to determine that, although I think that this would end with T-Series permanently surpassing PewDiePie (unlikely), T-Series' subscriber number plateauing after all of India has a chance to subscribe to T-Series or some other new channel(s), or finally one of the two deleting their channel. wumbolo ^^^ 11:10, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article currently has something like my idea (the Competition section). However, I'd move the live stream information and the YouTube response back to the Response section, possibly in new sub-sections titled "YouTube" and "Other events". That would leave the Competition section almost empty, but it can be filled with the wide variety of speculations and progress. Having a properly-cited list of the passings seems like a great idea to me. When there's consensus on the issues I've mentioned, I believe that this article will have a high-quality structure. wumbolo ^^^ 22:21, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response section is incomplete

PewDiePie uploads videos in "response" to T-Series all the time, mostly it's just the title and a short remark at the beginning. But since the "I might as well upload this since we are losing" video is listed, should maybe the others be listed as well?

So there are at least 9 additional videos about it or mentioning it, with similar relevance to the topic as the "since we are losing" video. Should they all be in the article? I don't think that's useful, he'll continue to make one of these every few days anyway. Fabian42 (talk) 16:17, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We should try to only include what is reported in a reliable source and cite it. I agree that a general statement about his videos should be enough. wumbolo ^^^ 17:05, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi Protected edit request 2nd march 2019

After the text "A number of PewDiePie's fans and supporters have also been making anti-Indian remarks and using racial slurs."

It would be good to mention Pewdiepie's response, because I feel otherwise it seems a bit biased:

"You've probably seen these livestreams where it's pewdiepie vs t-series. But there's a part of this I really don't like. And it's a shame because it isn't the vast majority of people. But sometimes, in these comments (and you guys have told me this as well), you see comments such as fuck indians or fuck indians c-word. Just really distasteful and unnecessary comments. And I obviously make Indian jokes and stuff like that. But I do that of all countries and this not what I'm about and I know my fanbase isn't about this either."

A shortened version of this should be included in the article.

Evidence:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8L-LjWHpjw

Timestap - 2:40

By the way, pewdiepie's own video where he says his response is a reliable source, because it is a Primary source where he says his statement on camera.

Thanks for the suggestion. This is already mentioned in the section about PewDiePie's response. However, I wouldn't be opposed to having something like "... which PewDiePie has condemned" with a link to the section below elaborating on it. wumbolo ^^^ 22:50, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know that…

PewDiePie lost 20,000 subs one time, dropping him below T-series, which broke his streak for longest time most subbed channel... The proof video ID is: NOZ25E9vUc0 -24.180.87.149 (talk) 14:20, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think the title "Subscribe to PewDiePie" (quote marks included) fits better this article

Reasoning:

1. It's nowhere near factual "PewDiePie VS T-Series" provided neither of them have, not jokingly, declare themselves in a competition for subscribers. Moreover, this has all the features of an organized movement- subscribers have made more echo about the issue, being guided by a reason (of sorts) and having a fixed goal (keeping PewDiePie as the most subscribed YouTube channel).

2. I think the format "X vs Y" doesn't respect the principle of Neutral Point of View, since the format is explicitly to convey a protagonist dueling an opponent. In this case, "PewDiePie vs T-Series" not only reflects the preference of the editors, but their geographical location (not so accurately but still) as well.

Eligio Budde (talk) 02:50, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Champion vs challenger" is a fine and neutral format. wumbolo ^^^ 09:01, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The current name of this article is much more neutral than what you're suggesting.  Nixinova  T  C  19:29, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hackings in lead

@Eligio Budde: why did you remove this from the lead? "Thousands of vulnerable printers, cameras, streaming dongles and smart TVs were hacked to promote PewDiePie and point to security vulnerabilities." wumbolo ^^^ 09:03, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If anything, the paragraph looks a bit messy if you are to include that bit, exactly where is it right now. Maybe creating a new paragraph with milestones about events would be better.

Eligio Budde (talk) 17:43, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Putting the hackings in the lead gives undue coverage for the actions of one or two anonymous hackers. How about mentioning more actually notable people who have participated in the competition? FallingGravity 07:52, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Plan U

I am suggesting that an article about plan U should be put into the article as support for T Series but the topic is big enough for its own section. BMO4744 (talk) 23:39, 9 March 2019 (UTC) sources[reply]

None of those search results appear to be reliable sources. Without sources, this doesn't belong. Grayfell (talk) 00:19, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this project fall under Wikiproject India?

Even though T-Series is an India based music company I do not see why this mock war should be under the India banner. It is a full on YouTube and Internet culture project. If it does fall under this banner. Why shouldn't it fall under Wikiproject Europe because PewDiePie is from Europe. BMO4744 (talk) 23:49, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, for one thing, Europe is a continent, and India is a country. More importantly, this article is specifically part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian music, since T-Series is a record company and music channel. That project is a sub-project for the larger Wikiproject India one. This article isn't particularly relevant to India as a country, but it seems more plausibly relevant to Music of India. As far as I know, there is no Wikipedia:WikiProject Swedish video game players or similar, and if their is, by all means, add the project. Otherwise, unless you are interested in Indian music, don't worry about it. Grayfell (talk) 00:14, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clearing that up. I thought because of the Indian flag and the fact that the banner had Wiki-project India / music that it was both India and Indian music. BMO4744 (talk) 00:30, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. It's not clearly explained, is it? WikiProject Indian music is a child-project of both WikiProject India and WikiProject Music. These projects each cover tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of articles. Grayfell (talk) 01:02, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The WMF needs to reorganize all this stuff because it gets confusing with child projects and project trees. (WMF don't take me seriously) BMO4744 (talk) 21:01, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FlareTV Stream versus Social Blade stream

I keep getting my edits marked as "original research" when I am simply attempting to state facts, without partiality. The fact is that the FlareTV stream is presently playing "Bitch Lasagna" in a loop, as PewDiePie is currently the most-subscribed channel. It is also attracting more viewers, and while there is tons of spam (like "T Gay"), we might need a better source for that. The Social Blade stream, on the other hand, plays a variety of music (not the Lasagna song) and has fewer viewers, but less spam problems. I'd like to incorporate most to all of this information in the article. --LABcrabs (talk) 17:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Due to a delay in audit, Pewdiepie was audited before t series, resulting in a six second passing. Walkyo (talk) 13:28, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Any source on that? Ioaxxere (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable.

Come on guys, this is not notable or a "online competition".

Okay, pewdiepie is notable. This thing is just one of his "memes", there is nothing relevant in any of this for Wikipedia.

The very first link about a "subscriber war" is about the defaced memorial. That does not count as a reference by the media since they were reporting on the crime and not the "online competition". Anonywiki (talk) 18:34, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

NB: Please do NOT remove good faith and valid talking points such as the above. Anonywiki (talk) 20:57, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You know very well you can't vandalise an article just because you disagree with it. If you really want to you can propose it for deletion but the output will be a fat "decline" since this article is well sourced. Stop vandalising this page.  Nixinova  T  C  23:55, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"This is not […] a 'online competition'".

I could've agreed to that statement up until a few weeks ago where the very head of T-Series made so. Several times. On several media. I have since accepted the idea that it became a competition.

Plus, the very idea of rejecting things for not being notable goes against the philosophy of an encyclopedia. If it is notable enough to have coverage via primary sources, you might as well place it. 190.242.24.14 (talk) 02:23, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just because an article is well-sourced doesn't mean it's notable enough for Wikipedia. Plenty of outlets have soap opera drama yet every soap opera feud doesn't get its own Wikipedia entry.

190.242.24.14 notability is a fundamental part of the criteria of whether or not something should be on Wikipedia. Again primary sources don't give notability to everything they report on and also where are the online sources calling it an "online competition"? Seems like clear original research to me, particularly using the word "competition", I think that's very out of place. Anonywiki (talk) 03:02, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't think the article is notable, feel free to nominate it for deletion. FallingGravity 07:48, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Possible addition to article

For those not in the loop, T-Series has been accused of using sub bots for their account, and I feel that it may be something noteworthy to add to the page. While I don,t have the links to the reddit posts regarding those, I do have this video from youtuber "The gamer from mars" that has a lot of the reddit posts, and some other things relating to it. The time stamps are for the youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE2f5LVVIaE Time Stamps: 2:39 4:30 5:33 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redactedfox (talk • contribs) 04:15, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Gamer From Mars doesn't appear to be a reliable source for this. See also WP:GOSSIP. We need a reliable source explaining this. If random reddit posts are significant, we need a reliable source which explains why they are significant. Grayfell (talk) 05:10, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I found the link to one of the reddit posts with the gif of the 9K gain in subs https://www.reddit.com/r/PewdiepieSubmissions/comments/9vxox4/tseries_gains_9000_subscribers_instantly_proving/

I've yet to find a news source talking about this, but I'll update you if one surfaces from a reliable source, I just though that accusations with some evidence may have been a noteworthy addition to the page Redactedfox (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:30, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Really, the 'March 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings' are 'Support of PewDiePie'?

What... Swabdoris (talk) 01:35, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah Brenton Tarrant said "Sub to PewDiePie" during the livestream he made carrying the attack out. It may be worth mentioning in the article, but definitely not in the lead as it isn't that significant to the subject. funplussmart (talk) 01:38, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think it should be in a different category or it’s own category, because i’m pretty sure after this attack the competition is over.
Pewdiepie has stopped posting, deactivated the sub gap bot, as well as all Related Subreddits. We can probably expect some kind of statement in the next day or days.
Even if it should continue, this attack has put the entire thing in a drastic new Light and can’t be lumped under “support”

The attacker didn’t do the attack to directly “support” pewdiepie.

He did it to further his own ideologies and not to help pewdiepie win a online competition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by XaviarVurnt (talk • contribs) 15:02, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
