Talk:Alex Day - Knowledge (XXG)

2108:

Also, the original caption wasn't "lying" - a pretty strong accusation, don't you think? - when it said that he was stepping out of the Tardis. He could have been stepping out of it, and stopped to have this photo taken - to mark the occasion. Or he could have been about to step into it. Or he could be just standing there - which is your interpretation. I don't think it's so clear, or so important, that it required changing the caption. Of course Knowledge (XXG) articles are not primarily humor pieces, but that doesn't mean they have to be humorless, especially when we're talking about the caption to a photo which itself is meant to be a bit humorous. I'm not saying your new caption has ruined the article. I just think it's better to discuss such changes before making them, unless we're talking about defamation or vandalism. It's more polite to discuss such style changes first, and it fits in better with the Knowledge (XXG) spirit of consensus. Contrast this with the change you made today, where you updated the fiveawesomeguys channel statistics. That was straight-forward and practically automatic. It was an excellent improvement to the article, and it required no discussion here. In any case, I would like to at least shorten the new caption by removing the Doctor Who part from it. We can leave your change from "stepping out" to "standing in front". If some reader doesn't know what a TARDIS is, notice that

would thus be considered more notable, but none of which are mentioned. Since this article has a problem of bloatedness I'd like to formally request its removal. (I also wouldn't consider the fiveawesomeguys channel, now defunct for four years, or the BBC Switch videos (also defunct) to be 'notable' but recognise how their view counts and reputation respectively might make them so.) EDIT: Just read the 'multiple issues template' section above and that's exactly what needs to happen. Can't someone just rewrite this so it says 'Alex Day is an unsigned musician who got to number 4 on Christmas Day 2011'? And then only include other information when it becomes absolutely necessary to detail that one fact; YouTube is necessary to explain how it happened, Chameleon Circuit/Sons Of Admirals possibly to illustrate prior attempts ... but that should be all.

3747:"Alex Day, one of the accused, has been a friend and housemate of mine for the last seven years, and during the period that I lived with Alex I did become aware of instances in which he’d cheated on his girlfriends. While this did make me very uncomfortable, the major regret I have about our relationship as friends is that I feel I was too lenient with him about what he was doing. We talked a few times about his cheating, and I let him know that it was something I disapproved of, but ultimately I left any further decisions up to him. I’m ashamed of this, in hindsight. I had urges to talk to his girlfriends about what was going on, but I never found the courage to do it personally. I didn’t want to spoil mine and Alex’s friendship, or our living situation, and so I let it slide. I never want to be that person again." 3061:

if I'm now to give it the benefit of the doubt that there is actually some notable material, I'd like to point out just how difficult it is for anyone to see any wheat amongst such a vast accumulation of chaff. No wonder it has attracted so many AfDs. The swathes of poorly supported and unsupported material and great list of overwhelmingly unreliable refs does the article no favours and screams out, whether rightly or wrongly, "fan site" or "vanity page". A sizeable bowel movement of the dubious material may result in a leaner, much smaller but more credible article that could finally convince me, and others, of its notability. This could have been done a long time ago and, if it had been, might have saved us all a lot of time repeatedly arguing about the merits or otherwise of the article.

2013:"It may be slanted towards recent events. Please edit this page to keep recent events in historical perspective." Much information has been added to the article since then, and the style and the structure of the writing has been improved to diminish the recentism-feel it had. Third, "The notability of this article's subject is in question." The issue of notability has been addressed in great length and detail on this discussion page, and there have been NO contributions to this discussion which have made ANY argument that the subject does not meet Knowledge (XXG) notability standards. The discussion has gone on for more than a month now. There seems to be a consensus that this subject is notable enough to merit an article. 1910:) and it says: "Do not delete factual information solely because the URL to the source does not work any longer". and the infromation that i added is 100% factual , that's exacrtly what happened. i'd saved the links to alex's YT videos in my history, which is how i new them. dunno why he deleted them, youll have to ask him that. but hell tell you taht what i put was right. and i was just trying to add some trock info "to keep recent events in historical perspective", like it sais at the top of the page. and i think it makes more sense to mention how trock managed to get mentoined in issue 401 of DWM - atm, it just says that trock was mentioned in the letters page, but it doesnt say how it managhed to get there 3237: 2349:. This can be fixed. There are other sources we can cite. The question is whether we want to keep that information in this article at all, considering that Eddplant is mentioned only once, in passing, and is not the actual subject of the article. If we do want to keep the real-name information in the article, I am proposing that we update the citation, and then move his actual name out of the main text of the article, and into the footnote itself. Without objection, I would like to do this today or tomorrow, and then move on. It seems to me these are the options: 2939:"notable", as well as deplorable, is the deciding factor. Wiki isn't a site for fans/haters to pick and choose you gets an article. Usually it's the fans you start them in good faith but with lack of knowledge of how to use reliable sources, and the haters who AfD them in questionable faith who become savvy at the guidelines and decidedly wiki-lawyer them to death. Personally, I don't watch Alex, I simply don't like the AfD trolls - so given the choice, it's more amusing to counter their unproductive AfDs and watch them cry havoc about it. 767: 746: 4162:, especially since the BBC is generally seen as a good, impartial source. There are two sources, not one, both of which include quotes and information from other places such as Charlie. There are a lot of other places which prove the allegations, however are unreliable so can't be placed there (such as tumblr posts). Also, it's needed for article structure; the two paragraphs are related, but unrelated to the larger section, so surely they should be put in their own subsection? It looks better that way. -- 1926:

editor got published. As you said, letters were published because letters were sent, which is the usual way that sort of thing happens. Also, I think it's generally understood that musicians and other performers promote themselves and their careers, in various ways. I'm not sure it's really necessary to state that in the article, or document it. It more or less goes without saying, doesn't it? On the other hand, if some musician or performer had achieved some success

on several television shows - as well as his YouTube popularity. I wouldn't overstress his YouTube work, because even without it, I think he would merit at least a small Knowledge (XXG) entry. I think the article contains ample citations supporting his notability. For that purpose, at this time, these twelve could be considered the strongest:

Early life (include Chameleon Circuit here), and then Musical career with some sort of emphasis on his Mainstream success (getting a song in the top 10 UK charts as an unsigned artist). Maybe break out Media with YouTube and Television. I'm going to take a crack at cleaning this up in the next few days.

4157:

The allegations completely changed his career and life; it led to a gap in content from him, a huge loss in fanbase, his deleting of his channel, and if you search for his name on Google, the vast majority of links are referencing the allegations. They are pretty much attached to him now. Therefore,

It's probably mostly redundant now. I think this page makes more sense with a structure something like

2666:

I propose that we reduce the number of sources that are cited to a maximum of about four, and keep the ones that are most notable. The Drowned in Sound one definitely needs to go, as it's apparently not very well sourced (apologies, I think it was me who added that one), and the Digital Spy review is

1925:

I didn't remove that info because it was false. I removed it because, without proper citations, there's no way to know whether it's true or false. You'll notice that I left the one assertion that seemed to be properly supported. I doubt there will be any real problem understanding how a letter to the

1489:

I think it would be a mistake to remove an article that thousands of people expect to find here. Along those lines, I wonder if we could determine how many people actually have come to Knowledge (XXG) looking for an article about Alex Day. Could we find out how many searches there have been for terms

3293:

I'm consistently trying to remove the line under 'other video projects' about Day's interview on the CheekTV YouTube channel. It's one video, not a 'project', just shy of 60,000 views; I could name hundreds of other videos in which Day has a prominent role, all of which have more views than this and

3060:

Now that this article, for the first time, has survived the latest in a long series of AfDs I'd like to voice my support that it is in desperate need of overhaul. Speaking as someone who has nominated the article for deletion in the past and maintained my support for that position in the latest AfD,

2183:

All very good and it needed to be added, but I can't help but think the bit about the song being available on iTunes and viewable on Youtube would come across as a bit of an advertisement. I reckon the YT video could be added to the external links, but I think a link to the iTunes page doesn't agree

1336:

As for the notability issue, I'm having a hard time getting a clear idea of what has to be shown in the article. I think Alex Day's claim to notability is based on his leading role in the Trock movement, his invention of the very term for that genre, his release of several albums and his appearances

4190:

Thanks for replying. I agree, it does tidy up the article and will be willing to see it return. However, is it possible the overall wording of this section could be reviewed? I feel as if it leans more toward the side of the allegations are absolutely true, rather than currently unfounded. Examples

3191:

However, there do seem to be general problems with neutrality of this article and its promotional nature suggests this should be completely re-written, or at least unlocked to prevent its current over-egged status from continuing, given that it seems to have already been subject to complaints and a

2091:

It is my understanding that Knowledge (XXG) pages aren't supposed to be humorous, they are supposed to be informative. The new caption is not silly. It tells you exactly what is happening in the picture. I put the Doctor Who part in because some may not be well-versed in the show. I admit that that

2012:

This article has been tagged for multiple issues since day 2 of its existence. Three specific objections were raised. First, "Its external links may not comply with Knowledge (XXG)'s content policies or guidelines." That issue was resolved immediately by removing most of the external links. Second,

This is not a factor that should be used to waive the notability guidelines. But it is one of the questions that could be asked to help decide whether a person is notable. If thousands of people come here expecting to find an article about someone, that in itself is some indication that this person

Just reminding any newcomers that YouTuber relationship status' are strictly trivial and should only be put in the article should there be a 'personal life' section. Since Alex Day currently does not have this section, can we refrain from any updates on the singer's relationships, truthful or not.

song. A genre is a "form of music" - The Timelords didn't create a genre.. they didn't pursue a culture of Dr Who related music. They wrote one song. Day, and others, have create a culture of Dr Who music, and bands focused purely on Dr Who. Your argument makes a point, but it is inaccurate. Trock

3183:

The article states that "Day is the creator of the music genre "Trock"... music written about or inspired by the popular BBC sci-fi television series Doctor Who." However, a group called The Timelords (KLF under a pseudonym) had a number one single, 'Doctorin' the Tardis' in 1988, before Alex Day

Alex Day has, on two occasions, disclosed that he dislikes referring to professionals by their last names (www.alexdaymusic.com/blog). Should we change all the "Day" references to "Alex" for his and some o his followers' personal satisfaction, or just stick to the rules of the website and not take

Well, that makes sense. You make a good point, actually. I usually resist the temptation to make purely stylistic changes to articles, since they tend to turn into edit wars or interminable arguments with lots of hurt feelings. But it's perfectly true. If someone doesn't like your change, they can

Day responded to the backlash by making the video "unlisted", saying "I’m not going to take the down because I don’t want to pretend this didn’t happen - running away from mistakes isn’t how you solve them - but I have made the video unlisted so you can only see it if you have the link. I think

2466:

I'm still not totally convinced that it's entirely appropriate to mention his surname in the article; is it encyclopedic and does it increase the reader's understanding of Alex Day to give Edd's full name? Then again, the footnote option seems like a good compromise, so I'm happy to leave it like

2239:

Once again, some anonymous IP from the U.K. did a drive-by edit and changed the name Ed Blann to Eddplant - without discussing the change, and probably without even looking at this discussion page. This is an encyclopedia, not a personal website. The mere fact that someone prefers their internet

2107:

Your change still calls it a TARDIS, when of course, it is not a TARDIS. It is an old London police box. There's no such thing as a TARDIS. A TARDIS is a fictional entity. And so, as far as I can tell, your new caption is just as humorous, or "silly" as the old caption - except that it's longer.

promoting themselves, that actually might be worth mentioning in an article. Bottom line: I was just trying to keep this article up to Knowledge (XXG) standards, which generally require assertions to be documented with proper citations. And by the way, I ran this past a very well-established and

1327:

I tried to smooth out the timeline to make it more balanced between recent and remote events. But frankly, we are writing about a 21-year-old here, and most of what he's accomplished could be considered recent. So that could be part of the problem. I think I could possibly add some historical

3812:

Expanding on my previous post, I'd like to point out that a large amount of the sources cited in this article go to web pages that no longer exist. As I'm fairly new to editing Knowledge (XXG), I'm not sure whether this is okay or not, but I've decided it's probably worth pointing them out.

3272:

Alex mentions in one of his videos that he didn't invent Trock, he merely thought up the name. I think that this is notable, because we don't want to take credit away from Trock artists prior to Alex. I think the album he put together ("Trock on") should be mentioned here too? He says in the

2938:

Your comment was 100% subjective: "deserves", "that great stuff", "less well-known". There's a big difference between your personal opinion, and Wiki guidelines on notability. I don't think several terrorists or religious extremists "deserve" Wiki articles - the fact that their behaviour is

the iTunes site was May 31, 2010, rather than the date we had in the article. I removed some internal Wiki links from the lead paragraph, all of which are repeated in the main body of the article, in order to clean it up and make it read more smoothly. Hope everyone's ok with these edits.

4118:

Why is this section so prominent in the article? The BBC is the only source and it seems to dictate unproven criminal activity by Day. I am not saying the man is innocent I am just wondering why the accusations cannot be filed simply under personal life. After all, there was no criminal

These aren't the kind of sources that would justify including such material in the article. "Day admitted to having been, in the past, manipulative without realising it, but denied ever engaging in underage or non-consensual sex" isn't the sort of thing one can usefully add to a

Reading through the discussion on here, it looks like this article has a few problems. In the light of Alex's recent songs on the UK charts, the article looks like it spends too much time talking about Chameleon Circuit (the section on Alex's page is almost as long as the entire

3732:. This is due to a number of allegations made against Alex on Tumblr. Charlie admitted to only having as much information as everyone else and that his assumptions are based on that information, but he said that some allegations definitely appeared "more valid" than others. 2923:

I don't think Alex deserves an article. He just doesn't have enough of that great stuff which catapulted his friend Charlie into YouTube superstardom. He isn't as beneficial or as technically innovative as Charlie, either; his blogs are shorter, simpler and less well-known.

His book, it is not the first 270 copies that get signed. Quote from his own website "The first thousand physical books will be signed and hand-numbered; the first 270 will be given the name of one of the 270 London Underground stations." Just wanted to add that :)

There seems an enthusiasm for adding information about "nermie army", which is fair enough. However, this really needs a reliable independent source. It's disputed (someone doesn't want it there), and unsourced. Don't edit war over it, please.

A couple of days ago I added to the article another example of the Chartjackers project being mentioned by the mainstream media. My concern is that this sentence is now looking rather long and a little unwieldy. It currently reads as follows:

Hey, there anyone from the world of Tumblr. Could we please keep everything 'Cherimon' off the pages of Knowledge (XXG). I can see the humor in it, but a lot of people on here work hard to make this article clean and factual. Thank you.

OK, feel free. I apologise for thinking that it was not really that important a detail to discuss first. With things like that if anyone does take exception it can be discussed, but I didn't expect it to be contentious.

There have recently been scandolous allegations of Alex Day on consent. They could be put under personal life or a new section in the article. While none of this is reputable yet, it may deserve some attention.

That said, this is still clearly quite a thorny issue. For one, Edd would clearly prefer that he was referred to by his stage name. In all other articles that mention performers who go under stage names (e.g.
