Delete[edit]

  1. Doesn't meet the 100,000 subscriber requirement, but also seems utterly irrelevant. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Natsuki Marx ♥ (talk) 15:06, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
    What are their video views? Has anybody notable responded to them? Carthage (talk) 15:16, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
    I think they've deleted most of their videos. Their currently most-viewed one has 6,000 views. Some response videos have over 100,000 views. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Natsuki Marx ♥ (talk) 15:21, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
    If the response videos have over a hundred thousand views, then I would say that they're not a nobody. Maybe not really relevant anymore, but people know who they are. Carthage (talk) 15:24, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
  2. Batshit Creationists were a dime a dozen back in the ye olden days of youtube and shouldn't have an article on every single one of them, especially when most of them are nobodies. A somebody. (talk) 20:03, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
  3. No remaining videos less than 11 years old, has 830 subscribers and no original ideas; I see no reason why this channel needs more than a mention in the Thunderf00t article, since a spat with him seems to be the main claim to fame here. There are no ideas that are unique to this person, so there is no particular reason why their particular views need to be documented or responded to in an article addressed directly to them, especially given that they appear to have had no presence of any kind since ~2015. Notably, contrary to what was stated above, their most viewed video has 60,000 views, and is their response to Thunderf00t, reinforcing that they are most notable for petty internet drama. Altogether, this article has nothing substantial to contribute to the site's mission, because its subject has nothing substantial to contribute even to fundamentalism.

  4. GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells Where every lie is true 19:57, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
  5. Delete , old videos , few subscribers , does not add anything to Ratwikis sites and missions.Oneandtwo (talk) 18:32, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
  6. Dead channel, wasn’t interesting in the first place. Pizza SLICE.gifChef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 20:12, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
  7. Seems utterly irrelevant nowadays. The fact the opener admits the page had to be trimmed down because it was insanely long already tells an entire story. -- Techpriest (talk) 22:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
  8. I think this is undue attention for someone with 44,911 total views. Justarandomliberal (talk) 23:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Keep[edit]

  1. Raw subscriber count isn't the only measure of a YouTuber's relevance. VenomFangX has made himself enough of a nuisance to the reality-based community to force them to engage with him, if only to shoot him down (see also Shockofgod). Keep the article; people need to know who this twerp is and why his opinions are worthless. Luigifan18 (talk) 17:07, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
  2. Seconded. Carthage (talk) 17:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
  3. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 00:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
  4. Seems more of a history/archive piece, and one of the original YEC's on YouTube. Part of a small and fascinating era. Patty Pat 12:57, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
  5. There is no real cost in retaining it. Suggest perhaps somebody gives it a tidyup / summarisation before left as an archive piece. I know it is not part of RWs mission but I suspect we might be the only documented article on them left now, and I feel it's important it is documented. KarmaPolice (talk) 19:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
  6. Is of historical significance, at least. Plutocow (talk) 19:34, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
  7. Ioe bidome (talk) 23:46, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
  8. Keep Revolverman (talk) 20:51, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

  1. Okay, who re-opened this one? This was voted on back in February! Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 23:43, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
