Contested deletion
editThis page should not be speedily deleted because the problem of insufficient reliably sourced information has been rectified. Andysmith248 (talk) 14:13, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
This page should not be speedily deleted because the subject meets WP:PERPETRATOR, a factor that was not considered in the AfD. Also, the article isn't eligible for CSD G4 as the current page has been expanded since its previous deletion. - GA Melbourne (talk) 14:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Potential bias
editThe tone of this article is a bit off to me, with a few quotes where this guy is talking about things like a ‘witch hunt’ against him and the claim that he’s ‘anti-establishment’ - a nebulous term at best. It’s worth noting that this man is noted mostly for his criminal offences, not his broadcasting career and certainly not a YouTube channel he subsequently set up. 2A01:B340:84:3A7:FDBA:ACE2:9BFA:6E55 (talk) 17:02, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
Severity of sentence
editFive years imprisonment for stalking seems excessive. Is there a reason for this severity which should be in the article? 2A00:23C8:9FF6:DC01:D860:FAB8:BD2E:552F (talk) 19:58, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- The maximum penalty for a single count of stalking has been ramped up in previous years (it only became a criminal offence in 2012 with a maximum term of five years, and this was increased to ten years in 2017), and he was convicted on four counts, so probably not. This guy got 9 years, and you can find multiple examples of people getting 1-3 year terms for single counts. Black Kite (talk) 12:09, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
