T1
He hasn't been signed with the T1 org in a while, I'll try to update this when I can. Mokadoshi (talk) 21:39, 3 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Done. Mokadoshi (talk) 00:57, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Birthday
Tyler's birthday is in March, so a couple editors have attempted to put his birthday in the article. The problem is that there is no agreement on when exactly his birthday is. TheScore said his birthday is March 6, 1995 (1:34 in this video). In a 2016 Tweet he also said March 6. In his March 6th broadcast this year, at the end of the stream (5:49:30 in the vod) he said "tomorrow" (March 7) is his birthday. If we can find some reliable sources that say either way, that would be great. Mokadoshi (talk) 05:30, 8 March 2024 (UTC)


 * To be clear, I'm hesitant to use a tweet or video about his birthday if it uses uncertain phrasing like "my birthday is tomorrow" because then you need to wonder about if the post/video was posted late, or how the social media platform handles different timezones, etc. If someone can find a tweet or video from Steinkamp where he says in certain terms "March X, 1995" then I will add that to the article as per WP:ABOUTSELF.

 * , I found a Dot Esports article solely about his background that currently isn't on the page yet. Feel free to add and revise with info from this source. Good luck with getting this to GA. I hope you also nominate to DYK as I see plenty of interesting hooks here! Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 22:50, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I did see that source, but I wasn't sure about it's accuracy. But in general Dot Esports is considered reliable so I'll add it.
 * For the DYK, what hooks would you recommend? Should I reuse the 2018 hook that after his ban on playing League of Legends was lifted, Tyler1's return set a new record for viewership on Twitch? (is that even allowed)? Mokadoshi (talk) 22:54, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh wait, scratch that, I see it was already on DYK. I don't think you can renominate an article to DYK again, but maybe someday an article can appear once more if it reaches GA status. PantheonRadiance (talk) 22:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * But if it got GA, what DYK hook would you recommend? Mokadoshi (talk) 04:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry for the late reply! I think the April Fools stream would make a good one if you could expand on it. Also the source about his chess playing is quite impressive for someone new to it - especially with his Chess Streamer award win. You could also use a hook about his variety content during his LoL ban, like his Bob Ross and magic show streams.
 * Also to make up for my late reply, I want to give you two tips for GA: I think you should add a bit more content from the Washington Post article as there's a lot more about his early/personal life from there. And here's another reliable source I found as well from Intelligencer. Once again, good luck! PantheonRadiance (talk) 08:20, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Child birth
tyler1 retweeted his girlfriend macaiyla's post on the childbirth https://x.com/macaiyla/status/1781049949167239446

I believe this satisfies WP:SELFSOURCE but an edit by someone else citing the same tweet was reverted in my opinion erroneously  Ja Morant fan (talk) 21:57, 18 April 2024 (UTC)


 * It’s not SELFSOURCE because the tweet wasn’t written by Tyler1. Mokadoshi (talk) 00:01, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No, a Tweet is certainly not nearly good enough. Generally unless a child is notable (meaning their is an article about them) their name is not included per WP:BLPNAME, not to mention they are minor. It's fine to say they had a child though.  S0091 (talk) 22:00, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
