Previously deleted at AfD
This was previously deleted at AfD (see template at top of page), and later re-deleted per A7 and G4 a few times. I feel the current version is sufficiently different from the version deleted at AfD not to be eligible for G4 speedy deletion; if you believe the article should be deleted, feel free to start a new AfD. :) · Salvidrim!  ·  &#9993;  23:04, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I've addressed most of the issues discussed in the AfD in the version it is now. If there are still any issues, I'll see what I can do. On another note, he was 66th most subscribed during the AfD and now he is 6th; he has since garnered greater media coverage because of this jump. cheers ⊾maine12329⊿   talks  @wiki  04:03, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

I just want to say that Pewdiepie started his channel on December 19, 2006 and this page says he started 2010. Just saying

Edit Request: July 28, 2013
It states that PewDiePie received 11 million subscribers as of July 11th, which is inaccurate. He just received 11 million subscribers yesterday, July 27th.
 * done It's now 11 million subscribers as of July 28th. Soulbust (talk) 08:22, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

What he is making
As the soon to be most subscribed to youtuber it would be interesting to find out what he is making. As he is Swedish this information is public. The company he's got registered in Sweden for receiving money from his channel, called pewdie productions AB, had 7208000 Swedish kronor (1090750 dollars) in revenue in 2012. As he has twice the number of views so far this year he could quadruple that in 2013. The company details are public and available here: http://mobil.allabolag.se/viewcompany.php?orgnbr=5568951304 his view numbers over time can be seen here: http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/PewDiePie — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.181.135.189 (talk) 22:18, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

List of the games he played
It would maybe be great to add a list of the games he played (as the one you can find on his french wiki page : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/PewDiePie#Liste_des_jeux_jou.C3.A9s — Preceding unsigned comment added by LouisHF (talk • contribs) 11:03, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

 * It's since 15 August & its already mentioned in the article.Soulbust (talk) 23:51, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

The page currently states that the Youtube Spotlight has more subscribers than PewDiePie. However when I go to the Youtube Spolight page (http://www.youtube.com/user/YouTubeUK) it only has 2 022 700 subscribers. Is this because of the fact that it is the UK version (I can't seem to access any other version)? If not then I believe that PewDiePie is the most subcribed channel by far. Flickering Wraith (talk) 11:39, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The article does not say Spotlight has more subscribers than PewDiePie, it says in November Spotlight surpassed PewDiePie's subscriber count, and nothing after that event. 117Avenue (talk) 23:58, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah okay, the phrasing made me believe that PewDiePie hadn't gained more subscribers than them since then. My mistake, sorry. Flickering Wraith (talk) 10:28, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 4 October 2013
UPDATE: Pewdiepie reached 14 Million Subscribers in October 2013. Currently stated as 13 Million Subscribers in September 2013.

Thegameizhere (talk) 15:47, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Which is correct. 117Avenue (talk) 03:21, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

 * That's exactly what he said, and I'm saying 13 million in September is correct. Do you expect the sub count to be updated daily? Wikipedia is not an excessive list of statistics. 117Avenue (talk) 05:14, 6 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Dude calm down, I was clarifying since your response sounded like you were confused.  STATic  message me!  05:33, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Italian
Under "Language" it states that he speaks English, Swedish, and Italian, but to my understanding, he does not speak Italian. In this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuFOFjPCmuA ) at 9:45, he also says he does not speak Italian. I'm not sure if the page is claiming he's fluent or if he's just presented something in Italian since it's under "Presentation," but just to be safe, I wanted to make clear that he does not speak Italian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.27.188 (talk) 01:37, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * You're right, all the Expressen source says is he lived in Italy for a summer. Italian was added 20 April 2013, before the page was moved to the main space. 117Avenue (talk) 03:04, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Separation problem...what's the topic?
This is supposed to be a BLP article. However, the majority of it is not about the person, but rather the channel. There's one paragraph about him, and what is called his "career" is nothing but a history of his channel, which is not the same thing as biographical detail. So it begs the question: what's the real notable thing here? The person, or the show named after him? MSJapan (talk) 05:45, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * They both have the same name, so why does it matter? 117Avenue (talk) 06:50, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

YouTube Partnership Program
The guidelines are here and nowhere does it state that one becomes an employee of Google. That is exactly like saying every person who uses AdSense is employed by Google, which is incorrect. Please do not revert the removal of Google and/or YouTube as employers. MSJapan (talk) 22:13, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

As with everything on Wikipedia, when unsourced material is challenged (and removed) it is the responsibility of the editor wishing to add it to demonstrate it is correct and cite it. If Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg is employed by Google then please provide a cite that shows this. Entering into a contract with a company does not make someone an employee of the company unless it is an employment contract. There is a reason why they call it "a partnership" and not "a job". -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 15:35, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Network
Is he still under Maker studios or is he under Polaris? McMortimer (talk) 13:04, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Link to "Official Website"
I noticed the link to the "Official Website" is currently pointing to http://pewdiepie.se/, which does not appear to be affiliated with Felix at all. The more accurate link would probably be http://pewdiepie.net. A post on that site on November 6, 2013, reads as follows:


 * Hey!


 * So, just to clarify the intentions and some additional info:


 * I'm launching a new site under pewdiepie.net


 * It's not owned by Maker Studios, they are only building the site for me.


 * I'm hoping to use it as a way to build a community much like this site, but something I could actually take part in.


 * (Im not a big fan of forums and its part of the reason why you haven't seen much of me here).


 * Since the forums atm seem to be somewhat of sub community, I didn't want to just throw it away or force it to be something else.


 * I'd be happy to lend it over to mKerix, but it's up to you guys to decide.


 * -Pewds

That post appears to have been submitted by the Community Manager of the site, Heiko 'mKeRix' Rothe.

Is "Generation C" really the same as "Generation Z"?
In "... a group Google refers to as Generation C for their habits", the link Generation C redirects to Generation Z. Z does not fit with the text that follows, "creation, curation, connection and community". Is that correct?

It would seem Generation C is a much more narrow group than Generation Z.

Charitable Actions Citation
Hi,

I can see that 'Clarification' is required for "PewDiePie had the goal of raising $250,000, however the charity raised over $450,000". - A good citation to use would be the official PewDiePie's Water Campaign profile on the Charity Water Website at http://my.charitywater.org/pewdiepie. If you scroll down, you'll see what his goal is, and how much he has managed to raise. Would you be able to add this citation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.4.44 (talk) 01:07, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The clarification is required because this article is about someone from Sweden, living in the United Kingdom, neither countries of which have the dollar as their currency. Thanks for the reference, but it does not say which dollar the amount is in. 117Avenue (talk) 03:39, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for replying. I can see that both countries don't have the dollar as their currency. However, upon looking at the Charity Water Contact Us Page; http://www.charitywater.org/contact/, Charity Water is located in 200 Varick Street, Suite 201, New York, NY 10014. Therefore, I can assume that the dollars is mostly likely to be United States Dollars (USD). What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.6.107 (talk) 14:26, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It is indeed dollars that were raised, similar to his current campaign located at Indiegogo. The donation amount is confirmed on his profile at Charity: Water as well. If needed, I may be able to dig up some more sources. MKeRix (talk) 12:46, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Adding personal sites as external links?
Considering there's a fair amount of information on his official site(s), I think links to them should be added. The main video page (currently in development by Maker Studios) now resides on pewdiepie.net, while the forums that have been his frontpage a month ago now reside on broarmy.net.

 * ❌, please elaborate on the change that you wish to made. However, the reason why there is no image is because Wikipedia follows a strictly 'free for everything' guideline. The image must abide by CC-BY-SA 3.0 standard, and must be able to be used or reproduced for any purpose, including commercial. Many authors are not willing to simply give that up for their images, and is an exceptional high standard, so that is why there is no image. Tutelary (talk) 13:41, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Religious beliefs
In the video "I Googled Myself..", at 0:36, Felix says "I'm agnostic athiest... I don't believe in a God but I can't disprove of one either."

I would like a Religion section added to the Infobox with "Agnostic athiest" and the citation as its assigned value. (I believe this is the best way to do it, though I'm open to other methods.)

 * I understand your hesitation, but the video in itself was basically Pewdiepie googling himself, and if you view the video yourself, the remark seems to be rather serious compared to the rest.

Revert
I am absolutely not seeing the notability in terms of the 'rape joke' thing. One small mention in an article is not enough WP:DUE weight and an addressing on his blog does not mean inclusion into the article. This does not meet the standard for a BLP. If we allow everything inclusion into the article due to merely being mentioned, Obama would've been labeled a communist years ago. It is a wholly insignificant event and in addition is poorly sourced to one article and the subject's main blog. Tutelary (talk) 20:16, 8 July 2014 (UTC) Addressing the sources raised;
 * http://www.theglobeandmail.com/technology/digital-culture/pewdiepie-this-profane-bro-you-never-heard-of-is-youtubes-biggest-star/article17079452/
 * This source is reliable but only briefly mentions the 'rape joke' event as a passing mention at best, failing WP:DEPTH at worst and is not appropriate for BLP, and at best, only supporting the notion of a single statement.


 * http://www.p4rgaming.com/pewdiepie-interview-if-im-number-one-on-youtube-then-there-is-no-god/
 * This is a self published interview between the subject and does not even mention any bit of the controversy regarding the jokes. Also, if you look at the other articles the site publishes, it may be considered a questionable source and not able to be used.


 * http://www.n3rdabl3.co.uk/2014/04/humble-weekly-bundle-support-pewdiepie-support-charity/
 * It appears that the site may not be reliable due to the fact that they only screen applicants for 'passion' and do not pay them a wage, making them somewhat an ambiguous source wise. However, due to the higher standard of BLP, I would not trust it for this.


 * http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2014/06/why-game-journalists-hate-pewdiepie.html
 * Again, only a passing mention of the terms of 'rape joke' and not adequate enough for a BLP.


 * http://motherboard.vice.com/en_uk/blog/pewdiepie-is-the-most-famous-web-celebrity-youve-never-heard-of
 * Written by a 'contributor'. What does that mean? Additionally, it's the subsection of a 'blog' and according to WP:BLOGS, should never be used for a statement about a BLP. You also removed the forbes mention because it was only a 'contributor. Wouldn't this be the case here, too? Tutelary (talk) 21:46, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

All in all, if these are all the sources that can be found about it, and given that the BLP standard for sources is much higher than normal; it should not be included. Indeed, some of these sources could be used for other articles similar, but not for this BLP, especially since it's contentious. These are poor sources imho and due to such, I have reverted again. I am very willing to take the 3RR exemption due to BLP; Libel lawsuits are a waste of time and although PewDiePie seems rather friendly; he may decide to take action. Tutelary (talk) 21:46, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

I was the person who originally added it. I think this would make quite obvious that I do believe that it should be included. I wanted to be careful as to how I worded the information on the article due to it involving jokes about a topic as sensitive as rape. However, I think it should stay in the article, as it happened early in his career, and he himself thought it was notable enough to not only make a tumblr post addressing it, stating he would cease the use of his jokes (October 2012), but also later made an actual video adressing it. It's titled I'm sorry, and he beings speaking about the topic after addressing another issue (December 2012). It's no longer on his channel, but several copies of it are found on YouTube. The fact that it's no longer on his channel, is irrelevant, because the whole "rape joke" controversy was notable enough to make a video and a tumblr post about it in the first place. Another thing is that yes, it is a brief mention in his article, because it happened for a short while, early in his YT career. I don't think it would require more than the reliable globe and mail post and the tumblr reference. Otherwise, references would drown out the actual information. Either way, I believe that the information should be added in an objective way, as it is a controversial issue. But I feel it is necessary to the article as it shows a controversy in his career, and how he dealt with it, and later how he kept his promise to cease the jokes (which in a biography of a human being, shouldn't their referenced development as a human be included). I doubt PewDiePie would take action, as long as the information is presented in an objective, referenced manner. We shouldn't hide the less popular things that happen in a human's life, especially when it is referenced, even by that person themselves. Bobcatwaterlion (talk) 05:13, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The reasoning on why I was mentioning the certain level of depth in this case is that depth usually--but not always refers to notability. If certain news media organizations specifically outline in great detail the cases of him making a rape joke; and a significant portion of his following decides to outcast of chastize him for doing that, then that is a long term effect and I can consider it to be significant to the article. Additionally, him removing his video may be the subject not trying to be associated with the jokes in any case. So in any case, if you want to propose text, I'm more than willing to collaborate with you on it. Tutelary (talk) 17:23, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Tutelary, you are wrong to say it is not covered in detail by sources. The rape jokes have been mentioned in an interview, his blog, a dedicated video, the globe and mail, and paste magazine. How can they be discussed in anymore detail? There's nothing more to discuss, which is why a single sentence is enough in the article to represent that. Iy shows the subject has admitted it and is open about it.--JacktheHarry (talk) 19:35, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Let's all to work towards a compromise here. I don't think it should be covered severely in depth, and I do have certain reservations about including it, but I can be swayed. It should not be done in Wikipedia's voice, and should be clearly attributed to each and every source, IE: Globe and Mail stated...X magazine said...PewDiePie on his official blog stated...all of that. How about you propose the text that you want to add and we'll discuss it here, so we don't get into another revert war. (Esp since BLP is an exemption from 3rr).

Semi-protected edit request on 4 December 2014
Hi all, I noticed there are 2 areas that are either incomplete or awkward in structure. However, the article is semi-protected and this is a new account so I can't fix them myself. In particular, they are:

''"PewDiePie's channel is under Polaris, a gaming network, part of Maker Studios, a multi-channel network that drives the growth of the channels under it.[63][64][65][66] His channel also appeals strongly to younger viewers, a group Google refers to as Generation C for their habits of "creation, curation, connection and community".[63] Other articles have documented that 95% of gamers engage in watching online videos related to gaming, providing further insight on PewDiePie's rise in popularity on the internet.[57][67]

In October 2014, PewDiePie began hinting at the possibility that he may not renew his contract with Maker Studios, once it ends in December 2014.[68] Reports that covered this information also added that PewDiePie expressed his frustrations with Maker the studio's parent company, Disney; PewDiePie was quoted saying, "The fact that Disney bought Maker Studios doesn’t really change anything for me. If I ask for help, they reply, but that’s all the contact we have. We’ll see what happens."[69] PewDiePie previously expressed his disdain with Machinima, another YouTube network, and their treatment of him.[70] After a legal process departed from the network.[69] Rather than re-sign with Maker, PewDiePie has mulled the option of launching his own network, although he has declined to provide in-depth details on the subject.[61][71] However, in light of news outlets reporting the gamer's disinterest with Maker, PewDiePie tweeted, "I feel like I was misquoted in the WSJ and I'm really happy with the work that Maker has been doing for me."[72]"

Change to:

PewDiePie's channel is under Polaris, a gaming network, part of Maker Studios, a multi-channel network that drives the growth of the channels under it.[63][64][65][66] His channel also appeals strongly to younger viewers, a group Google refers to as Generation C for their habits of "creation, curation, connection and community".[63] Other articles have documented that 95% of gamers engage in watching online videos related to gaming, providing further insight on PewDiePie's rise in popularity on the internet.[57][67]

PewDiePie previously expressed his disdain with Machinima, a rival YouTube network that he had been signed with prior to Maker Studios.[70] Feeling frustrated with how Machinima treated him, PewDiePie hired a lawyer to free him from his contract with the network.[69]

In October 2014, PewDiePie began hinting at the possibility that he may not renew his contract with Maker Studios, once it ends in December 2014.[68] Reports that covered this information also added that PewDiePie expressed his frustrations with Maker the studio's parent company, Disney; PewDiePie was quoted saying, "The fact that Disney bought Maker Studios doesn’t really change anything for me.

This edit would make the flow of the paragraphs much smoother. As is, it sort of jumps around a bit between talking about Maker to mentioning Machinima before talking about Maker again. Also, this fixes the issue with the fragmented sentence in the original version.

The other edit I suggest making would be:

''Beginning in April 2014 and spanning into August, Kjellberg, along with his girlfriend Marzia, began a marketing campaign for the Legendary Pictures film As Above, So Below.[80][81] Kjellberg's videos for the marketing campaign included a miniseries featuring him participating in the "Catacombs Challenge". The challenge involved Kjellberg searching for three keys in the catacombs to open a container holding "the Philosopher's stone."[82] Kjellberg and Bisgonin's videos were able to earn nearly 20 million views.[83] Maker Studios, which PewDiePie and Marzia are signed to, as well as represented by brokered the ad deal between the two and Legendary Pictures.[82]''

Change to:

''Beginning in April 2014 and spanning into August, Kjellberg, along with his girlfriend Marzia, began a marketing campaign for the Legendary Pictures film As Above, So Below.[80][81] Kjellberg's videos for the marketing campaign included a miniseries featuring him participating in the "Catacombs Challenge".

The last sentence in the original version appears to be burdened with awkward phrasing. Perhaps this would be better as it flows nicer and doesn't have the added bit of redundancy.

"Religion = None" vs. "Religion = Agnostic" or "Religion = None (Agnostic)" in infoboxes.
Per WP:BRD and WP:TALKDONTREVERT, This comment concerns this edit and this revert.

(Please note that nobody has a problem with the use of "Agnostic" in the article text. This only concerns infoboxes.)

There are many reasons for not saying "Religion = Agnostic" or "Religion = None (Agnostic)" in Wikipedia infoboxes. They include:

It implies something that is not true


 * Saying "Religion = Agnostic" in Wikipedia infoboxes implies that agnosticism is a religion. It is like saying "Hair color = Bald", "TV Channel = Off", "Type of shoe = Barefoot" or "Hobby = not collecting stamps"."

"Religion = None (Agnostic)" is better -- it can be read two different ways, only one of which implies that agnosticism is a religion -- but "Religion = None" is unambiguous.

It is objectionable to many Agnostics.


 * Many Agnostics object to calling agnosticism a religion,[://atheism.about.com/od/Criticism-Critique-Agnosticism/a/Is-Agnosticism-Religion.htm]

It goes against consensus


 * A similar question regarding atheism was discussed at length at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive 142. Opinions were mixed, but the two positions with the most support were "Religion = None" or removing the Religion entry entirely. More recently, it was discussed at Template talk:Infobox person, and so far the consensus is for removing the Religion entry entirely. I think it is safe to say that if "Religion = Atheist" and "Religion = None (atheist)" are against consensus, then so are "Religion = Agnostic" and "Religion = None (Agnostic)".

It is unsourced


 * If anyone insists on keeping "Religion = Agnostic" or "Religion = None (Agnostic)" in any Wikipedia infobox, they must first provide a citation to a reliable source that established that the individual is [A] An Agnostic, and [B] considers agnosticism to be a religion.

It attempts to shoehorn too much information into a short infobox entry


 * In the article, there is room for nuance and explanation, but in the infobox, we are limited to concise summaries of non-disputed material. Terms such as "atheist", "agnostic", "humanist", "areligious", and "anti-religion" mean different things to different people, but "Religion = None" is perfectly clear to all readers, and they can and should go to the article text to find out which of the subtly different variations of not belonging to a religion applies.

'''It violates the principle of least astonishment.


 * Consider what would happen if Lady Gaga decided to list "Banana" as her birth date. We would document that fact in the main article with a citation to a reliable source (along with other sources that disagree and say she was born on March 28, 1986). We would not put "Birth date = Banana" in the infobox, because that would cause some readers to stop and say "wait...what? Banana is not a birth date...". Likewise we should not put anything in an infobox that would cause some readers to stop and say "wait...what? agnosticism is not a religion..."

In my opinion, "Religion = None" is the best choice for representing the data accurately and without bias. I also have no objection to removing the religion entry entirely. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:04, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Lead paragraph
From this revision that I wrote to this one that I didn't there are several things I'm removing, although there are various things I'm keeping. Let's break it down
 * as well as his nickname Pewds, is a Swedish web-based comedian and producer, best known for his gaming/vlog videos uploaded to the YouTube channel of the same name.
 * I'm changing this to: Swedish web-based comedian and producer of Let's Play commentaries and vlogs on YouTube. It's closer to the former revision. Removing mention of the Pewds nickname because that nickname isn't popularly used among cited sources.


 * and has collaborated with other channels, including Smosh, Rhett and Link, Ryan Higa, and more.
 * Removing this because although true, it isn't notable enough to include in the lead. It would work better as a mention in the body, but for that it would need a third-party source.


 * PewDiePie generally receives positive acclaim from critics, fans, and casual audiences alike, but has been criticized many times over. Although considered goofy, unfocused, sometimes even obnoxious, and annoying by some writers, most media outlets agree that PewDiePie's content is genuinely unfiltered.
 * reverting this back to former revision, because PewDiePie does not receive general criticism, in the image section that I spent a lot of time researching for there seemed to be just as much praise and criticism, hence polarizing. Removing the term "unfocused" because when originally expanding this lead, I used phrases that were explicitly used in quotes from media writers/outlets. Keeping the "genuinely unfiltered" over the former "genuine and unfiltered" because I feel it flows better this way now.


 * He has been a main point of controversy, with his earnings from YouTube videos a constant topic, since earning $7 million dollars from 2014, but he himself had uploaded a video, entitled Lets Talk About Money, explaining that he doesn't care about the money and still believes in what his original plan was: to entertain his "bros".
 * Removing this for a few reasons. One, references aren't often used in the lead except for statistical things (like the amount of views and subscribers he has). I understand the money thing is a stat, but it is discussed later in the lead in a paragraph that fits it better (that paragraph describes his dislike of articles that cover his earnings, and that he dislikes the fact that the media calls him famous, etc.)


 * Indian YouTube personality, Marzia Bisognin (known by her followers as CutiePieMarzia), as well as their pugs, Maya and Edgar Allen (named after Edgar Allan Poe), who are featured occasionally.
 * Marzia is Italian not Indian, and the name of the pugs is perhaps too specific for the lead.


 * In 2015, PewDiePie announced his official game, entitled after many comments from "bros": PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist, and is scheduled to be released in the summer, although the game's official release date hasn't been announced yet, as well as his book: This Book Loves You, a parody of self-help book s, with a release on 20 October 2015.
 * Keeping the information, but once again removing the references as they are not for the lead.

Soulbust (talk) 08:49, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know which version was what, but I restored the lead from the GA version. All this chit-chat about his dogs, his girlfriend, his parents (and a link for "business people"?) has no place in a GA. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 20:27, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

PewDiePie - Digital Age -HJF
I very much like that there were many different resources incorporated into the paragraphs with adding links into the actual words making it easier for the reader to quickly glance at a reference as they read. I do appreciate the fact that they do not get too much into Felix's personal life so that he has his privacy and the authors do not try to snoop into every little things. For the most part, this article is not biased and gives clear statements based on facts given by multiple sources, however, I didn't see much about PewDiePie's early life. I would have really liked to know more about the Swede when he was younger as well, rather than just his YouTube career so I could get a sense of how he became the kind of person he is. Perhaps if someone interviewed him about his life as a child it would have added more possible background on this YouTube Celebrity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.62.206.150 (talk) 19:04, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Overall the article about PewDiePie was good and had a lot of information that I did not know. However, one thing that left me a bit confused was the dates. One section had one date and another section roughly about the same thing had another date. Other than that, it was a good article about him.

Kjellberg's views on income
I made some edits to the article recently relating to Kjellberg's views on income. I was seeing an obvious tendency for excessive focus on the biography subject's own views about earnings. His own views are relevant, but only to a limited extent. In this article version, it went too far as far as I'm concerned. An international celebrity with a 7-figure income from a source that is fairly novel is in itself notable. I don't doubt that Kjellberg might be frustrated when media reports on something other than his persona or his productions, but there is nothing unusual or unfair about it in this context. And it really doesn't matter if these are deeply felt views or a deliberate marketing strategy, because the idea of Kjellberg's public persona as genuine and spontaneous is part of his success. He has a vested interest in upholding that notion, deliberately or not. Any media coverage that is perceived as going against this should not be immediately followed by protests from Kjellberg or attempts to draw attention to things like how much money he has raised for charities.

Please watch the POV here. There is such a thing as being too sympathetic with the biography subject.

Twitter temporary suspension
Pewdiepie's twitter account was suspended for an ISIS based joke, but it's been restored. I'm not good with editing, so could someone look into adding something relating to this? --CitroenLover (talk) 18:17, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * How long and notable was the suspension? Was it for a certain time or did he appeal and it got restored? AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 00:20, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * No idea how long it was, but it's notable because of his twitter having been unverified and suspended for an ill-timed joke and losing millions of followers and tweets as a result of the suspension. Given PDP is the #1 YouTube channel, nearly anything that happens to his brand (be that his channel, twitter feed or a facebook page that he runs) is notable by itself, given that so many people will see it.
 * Some sources for what happened: here, here and a video from him. --CitroenLover (talk) 09:57, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Suspended for some hours or even a couple of days on Twitter for a joke doesn't seem notable at all. People get suspended every day, and by the way he unverified himself for other reasons. Also, it seems the account is already getting its followers back.--Sakretsu (talk) 12:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * This is about the same impact as a celebrity changing or dropping their Twitter account because it was hacked into or because they needed to go offline for whatever reason. I'd fit this under WP:NOTNEWS, unless it was his main record-setting YouTube account that got suspended or changed, and he had to reset all his views and subscribers.

Hey!

Just thought it would be good to include a snippet regarding his latest social media (Twitter mainly) behaviours eg. un-verifying himself or constantly changing his Twitter profile username and full name. There is even a site, which detects under what name PewDiePie is currently present at http://whoispewds.com/

Some sources: PewDiePie explains why he has un-verified http://variety.com/2016/digital/news/pewdiepie-twitter-isis-joke-1201849083/ Marina Joyce jokes http://www.wetheunicorns.com/debate/pewdiepie-marina-joyce-jokes-parody-mocking-debate-too-far/#Z4st8AHxWkgSdFOg.97 Banned from Twitter after ISIS joke http://thenextweb.com/gaming/2016/08/31/pewdiepie-just-suspended-twitter-making-isis-joke/
