Lead Section

[edit]

The lead section currently sums up various YouTube statistics that are only indirectly related to the person Corey Vidal, and have probably merely been added to claim notability. He has "over 200 videos" is a meaningless statistic, because I can upload 201 videos of me holding up my middle finger in an hour. His profile has been viewed "over 9 million times": why is that even relevant? That's in the first paragraph of the lead. His profile has been seen n number of times. Wow, yeah, great. The lead section has been stuffed with YouTube statistics, he also has "200,000 subscribers" and his videos have been seen "over 67 million times". This is the impression it gives me: we don't really know what to say about this guy, let's just list YouTube statistics. --82.170.113.123 (talk) 11:07, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The lead section reads like an advertisement for this person. 4 years later and it's still in bad shape.
