Kyle dating Krystal Ball

Not sure I agree with this revert. The information is sourced to a secondary source, and the news is relevant. Krystal Ball has her own Wikipedia article and is a notable progressive commentator. Thoughts on restoring? –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:29, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Novem Linguae, is that a reliable source? She's a married woman, so WP:BLPGOSSIP applies. I'll elevate this to WP:BLP/N, but this has to stay out of the article for now. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:31, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No need to escalate to BLPN, I think we can hash it out here. I forgot that she was married, useful context, that's a good reason to investigate a bit more before allowing it. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:33, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, just saw the edits over at Krystal Ball. Since so many editors are involved and since you extended confirmed protected it, yeah, BLPN is probably a good idea. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:39, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, just based on one edit here, it could be dealt with here. But this is a bigger BLP issue for Ball than it is for Kulinski. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:42, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Muboshgu: You reverted edits which had secondary sources confirming the information and verified by another individual. Try reading the WP:BLPGOSSIP again. You only mentioned one secondary source at the WP:BLP/N and omitted this [1] regarding the marriage status. --NoMagicSpells^talk 06:05, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NoMagicSpells, I'm confident of my reading of BLPGOSSIP.. You consider those sources to be up to our BLP standards? Distractify says they don't know anything about marital status. That is gossip. – Muboshgu (talk) 06:13, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Muboshgu: Not knowing about the marital status is a correct and factual statement. --NoMagicSpells^talk 06:24, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is gossip on a sensitive WP:BLP issue. You don't have to keep pinging me. I'm signing off for the night anyway. – Muboshgu (talk) 06:27, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subscriber count

If you go to the editing page, you can see that his subscriber account is set to "1 million," so why does the Wikipedia article say "998,000"? PiratePablo (talk) 02:06, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vaush is not connected to Kyle Kulinski in any notable way

@TheXuitts please stop adding him as an “associated act” of Kyle Kulinski without providing a secondary source for this claim. Mottezen (talk) 18:03, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is this guy notable?

Does this guy meet notability requirements?

And at one point are editors obligated to correct erroneous information quoted by subjects of a biography? For example this notion that Kulinski is a political moderate in any country but the US because,

"the spectrum of public discourse has shifted to the far-right"

is total nonsense. Jonathan f1 (talk) 01:29, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I removed this statement as it was violating WP:ABOUTSELF in my opinion. As for notability, I believe the sources present in the article show this person meets WP:GNG. Mottezen (talk) 03:23, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle Kulinski’s support for Chelsea Manning

Kyle’s support for Chelsea Manning’s transition back in 2014 should be added to his views lgbt issues, given this was much more controversial back then and he defended her against criticism. 73.176.85.139 (talk) 20:43, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this support documented in a reliable source? Mottezen (talk) 01:50, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, this is a WP:PRIMARY source, and we avoid using self-published videos for the subject's political views because they necessarily involve claims about third parties (see WP:ABOUTSELF). We only include Kulinski's political views when they are discussed by WP:SECONDARY sources. Mottezen (talk) 21:36, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
