Delete[edit]

  1. This article is clearly outdated and doesn't reflect Devon's recent turn into full race realism and white nationalist apologism. Perhaps it could work if heavily rewritten, but for now it acts as way to legitimise a radical racist by merely portraying him as a bit problematic, and I suggest it be deleted so people unfamiliar with Devon's channel aren't fooled into following his content based on this.

  2. This person warrants no more than a paragraph or two in our Webshites log. Regards, Cosmikdebris (talk) 21:41, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
  3. This YouTube account has been terminated. Nerd (talk) 21:59, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
  4. As I've noted in several other nuke cases, I generally think we have waaayyy too low a bar for including nobodies with YT channels/blogs. Unless they have an actual impact (e.g. Mencius Moldbug in shaping neoreactionary ideas) or a high profile (e.g. loads of views/subscribers - which typically will put them in the impact category as well), I really don't think we should generally be creating articles on individual YouTubers or bloggers. If their ideas are relevant to RW, they can be used as examples to illustrate articles about relevant topics (note that we don't have a separate article on Moldbug, but that he is covered in the article on the neoreactionary movement. This, I think, is generally the way forward). ScepticWombat (talk) 22:17, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

  • Ideally, this article can use a rewrite, but I also agree that we shouldn't be trying to promote the views of someone turned "race-realist" and white nationalism. That being said, the first paragraph does already portray him as not exactly the most pleasant petunia in the garden. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 01:32, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
  • I agree. This page does need a rewrite. However, I don't see how we where we were trying to promote his views. Also, he was in the "Batshit crazy" and "Insufferable assholes" categories. TheEOE (talk) 22:01, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
