Birthplace[edit]

Note that while some reliable sources have described him as a "St. Catharines native" [1], from a vlog of his he clarifies that he isn't - [2] @5:25 - "For those of you that don't know by the way, I'm not in St. Catharines. I belive online it says I grew up in St. Catharines, I didn't. I grew up in a place called Welland, Ontario. I moved to St. Catharines with my ex-girlfreind and then I moved to Toronto", that's why Welland is shown. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 01:46, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. That vlog he made is clear enough about that issue. Vanthorn ^{msg ←} 02:00, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Restored[edit]

I've restored this via a request at WP:REFUND. There was a prior AfD, but it was for a different person. There were edits by other users and while there was mostly one person making the major edits, there were hundreds of edits by others. Mostly though, I think that there's a good argument to be made here for notability given the Streamy Award win, so if this is to be deleted I'd rather that this be done via an AfD for the YouTuber specifically.

I wish to edit Matthew Santoro's page slightly to include another tab that highlights the controversy he has been involved in recently. Cosco246 (talk) 08:09, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done This is not the right page to request additional user rights.
If you want to suggest a change, please request this in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
Please also cite reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 15:52, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Allegations" section[edit]

Wikipeida policy on biographies of living persons is quite clear about this.

"Remove immediately any contentious material about a living person that .. is unsourced or poorly sourced".

I have removed a section that is sourced to Reddit (an online forum), YouTube (user generated content by an anonymous person) and some guy's personal website. These are not reliable sources suitable for the source of these allegations.

Do not restore this content without much better sourcing. Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 17:11, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
