Talk:Alpharad

Alpharad's Talk Page - First Section

Hello guys. So I originally wanted to post a list of sources here after the Alpharad article got submitted, but later decided that it wasn’t necessary to do so at the time (along with being occupied with school and other projects). But after seeing recent changes to the article, specifically with the “Music” and “Personal Life” sections coming into existence, I’ve now reconsidered posting this just in case more issues come to light on Alpharad’s article, and to generate some more discussion on him.

First off, here are the ten sources I originally added to the article. Most of these sources, besides perhaps Dexerto, are considered reliable and independent, and should establish his notability enough.

[1] (Early Life - School), [2] (Content - Speedrunning), [3] (E-Sports Involvement), [4] (E-Sports), [5] (E-Sports), [6] (YouTube/Subscribers), [7] (E-Sports/Affiliation), [8] (E-Sports/Subscribers), [9] (E-Sports/Affiliations), [10] (Subscribers/Other Projects)

Secondly, I wanted to include a scholarly article from the University of Brasilia I found a couple months back which compared several gaming YouTube channels in terms of their content styles. This could also be used to describe his content too. If you want to see it, here it is, check pages 56 - 59:

Third, there were a couple sources pertaining to the Plussy Knight debacle that Alpharad was apparently a part of. I wanted to ask if these sources are considered reliable, and if so, would this information be appropriate to include in the article? I’m a bit conflicted as to whether or not it’s relevant to include, but I’m leaning towards no because it may seem to constitute undue weight, in that it might not be significant enough to Alpharad’s career and seems more like petty drama. Here were the sources I omitted.

https://win.gg/news/5084/did-plussyknight-fake-his-passing-question-mark-communities-raise-questions (YouTube/Plussy Knight)

And finally, do you guys have any more actual good sources that support his career? I see that people are now adding new sections of the article with either no sources or primary/self-published ones (which are okay to support aspects of his personal life, but aren’t okay for him being a musician). You guys need to make sure whatever info you’re putting in the article actually follows Wikipedia’s guidelines, especially for reliable sources.

Also, I want to give a special thanks to user @PizzaDelivery4u for creating the article in the first place. PantheonRadiance (talk) 09:28, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

The TubeFilter article mentions his music career. I've edited it closer to the assertion that he is a musician. I don't think that the Plussy Knight drama would fit into this article, but the analysis one could. Maybe in a further reading section? SWinxy (talk) 20:12, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

@SWinxy Oh yeah, I forgot that the Tubefilter article mentioned his music career, thanks for that. For the analysis one (I assume you're referring to the scholarly article) I was just gonna weave info from it into his YouTube career section. PantheonRadiance (talk) 06:38, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

What kind of cat does he have?

What kind of cat is Frasier? 2603:9001:20C:58F6:F84D:18CA:A335:4920 (talk) 23:08, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't see any news articles that discuss his cat, not like People magazine Celebrity Dogs so probably can't answer it here. Does he have a video about the cat? AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 01:49, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

He has two cats Frasier and Taylor. If you really want to get technical add Tostada but I'm only saying that because he lives with Jaiden and her cat Tostada (dont forget about ari and tofu but that's a minor detail here) oh nevermind for the type i think Frasier is a exotic shorthair.

Jacob's response to this page

So, Alpharad himself viewed the page on stream, and claimed it was pretty inaccurate. I'll just leave the video about it right here. Hawkatana (talk) 23:54, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

@Hawkatana: Thanks for the link. I think a few editors have already gotten to work correcting things, and most of the egregious issues are resolved. Feel free to fix things yourself if you see an issue! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:03, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

I hope someone can upload a better picture of him! Cool to see the mistakes have been corrected though! Emilej01 (talk) 00:05, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Fir's hyperlink in "Associated Acts" links to the tree

Apologies, I'd fix this myself but I'm not familiar with wiki editing so I don't know how. But someone really should. Even if there's not a page for him, it shouldn't link to the tree. Roebro (talk) 05:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

okay so basically on a video Jacob basically said he needs someone to change the photo because he doesn't like it so I wanted to know if you could change it to a different one Short gurly (talk) 20:42, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Not done for now: Do you have a properly licensed photo to replace this one? Sincerely, Guessitsavis (she/they) (Talk) 23:10, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
