AfD
This is an article about a video. A related biography article about Caleb Lawrence McGillvary was the subjection of AfD on two previous occasions: 19 May 2013 and 2 June 2016. -- GreenC 20:54, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
- I had to revert this edit as it changes the topic of the article to the person. As noted above, articles about the person have been deleted two times and attempts to recreate it will be speedy deleted. Thus, the topic of the article is about the video, for which there have been no previous AfD. See discussion at User_talk:GreenC/2017#Speedy_deletion_nomination_of_Kai_the_Hatchet-Wielding_Hitchhiker. -- GreenC 14:14, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
- that's all well and good, @GreenC and I agree we should keep the video as the title.But it's important to say, the LEAD reflects a summary of the entire page's CONTENT. not just what is in the TITLE. If the content about the murder conviction belongs in the article (and I believe it does), then it also belongs in the lead (in proportion to coverage in the article). By my reading, that means roughly ~30-40% of the LEAD should be about the conviction, which I edited to reflect. This is all in relation to the video, but it is a notable fact about the guy and what many people visiting this page are interested in reading. Hence, DUE for the article and the LEAD! — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 12:51, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
The night before what?

- The night before 16 May 2013 as the sentence says. - GreenC 20:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

- Do you have a reliable source to support that? — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 14:18, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
