Poppy Harlow

@PolitiCalder:, regarding you adding "Poppy Harlow" to "Also known as" in the infobox. I don't think people refer to PewDiePie with the moniker "Poppy Harlow". Rather, when they are using this name, they are referring to his role. Like when people refer to "Captain Jack Sparrow" they don't refer to Johnny Depp, and we don't list "Jack Sparrow" as a pseudonym of Johnny Depp. --Distelfinck (talk)

controversy needs its own section outside of the history section

The amount of controversy surrounding this guy is enough to be its own section outside the history section. 2600:1700:7A51:10B0:A911:E2D7:9F34:F5B9 (talk) 17:58, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Grouping information into a "Controversies" section creates a number of problems, and there's strong consensus against organizing articles in such a manner. --Ronz (talk) 18:26, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Given his name's use in both the defacement of a WWII memorial and the manifesto of the perpetrators of the Christchurch mosque attack (both in early 2019), how can we appropriately mention his name and channel in relation to ultra-right-wing activism and terrorism? 174.84.112.110 (talk) 10:41, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Find independent, reliable sources that demonstrate it is clearly worth noting in an encyclopedia article about him. --Ronz (talk) 17:43, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Here's a decent one:[1]. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:52, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

I don't think that demonstrates any encyclopedic value, and falls into NOTNEWS. --Ronz (talk) 21:05, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Ronz, plenty of articles about living persons have controversy sections. How would this cause any issues? Please be specific. 2600:1700:7A51:10B0:558D:104B:60B6:7953 (talk) 20:00, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

That's an other stuff exists argument.

If you're not familiar with Wikipedia's content policies, it's best to avoid WP:BLP articles, where strict adherence to content policies is required. --Ronz (talk) 21:40, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Controversy sections should be avoided if possible. If a controversy is WP:DUE, it should be in the right place in the article, per topic or chronology or whatever, but separate controversy sections tend to act as shit-magnets. More at WP:CRITS. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:40, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Christchurch shooting

It's literally the only reason I've heard of this guy and there's no mention in the article? Things like this cheapen the value of wikipedia because I can't imagine any reason for this not to be more thoroughly discussed other than the page being run by a bunch of fanboys 70.63.129.180 (talk) 02:40, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Agreed. Cited sources stating concerns regarding PewDiePie's ties to right wing propaganda spreading have been typically denied a place on the article page. I am in no way surprised that a racist mass shooter espoused 'subscribe to PewDiePie' before going on a rampage. 2600:1700:7A51:10B0:558D:104B:60B6:7953 (talk) 20:02, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

There are 2 different locations that the shooting is mentioned within this article. Additionally, the media reception analysis section goes in-depth about how some media outlets have described his content, which includes alt-right. Soulbust (talk) 02:19, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Felix is 5 feet 9 inches and he is lying about his height in the wiki which he edited himself. You can find that in his youtube channel videos around march 29th. Please change the height back to his real height. If you didn't subscribe to Pewdiepie, please do subscribe. Help him get over his insecurities. Krishnamsmail (talk) 14:50, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
