Does this fit mission statement?[edit]

I don't obviously decide what fits and what doesn't but even if this article was expanded to include Blair's shit treatment of her staff, I fail to see this article belonging on RW. For comparison, the page on another YouTuber, Keemstar, was deleted because it did not fit mission statement, and this was in spite of his wingnut political views (his lack of influence and otherwise being apolitical in his actions was why IIRC).

If Keemstar's page had to go (which it did), what reason does Blair have for being here? Her videos in terms of beliefs tend to be "moderate left" in terms of views and her videos regularly talked about conspiracy nuts, cults, and woo in a negative light. If pages on bad YouTubers are now encouraged, shall we make a page on WingsOfRedemption? DaddyOFive? Jaystation? Sorry, as someone who is a former fan of Blair (until the controversy in April 2023) and agrees she fucked up, I don't think this belongs on RW.

I do think media analysis is missional. WOR isn't educational, illuminaughtii at least pretended to be an educational Youtuber. That said, I am skeptical if we should have articles for every dramatube incident x, y, and z. James Somerton seems much more missional as his content directly relates to social justice (which intersects with a lot of our core missional principles). Carthage (talk) 17:48, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
