Sam Hyde podcast
editAre the Sam Hyde podcast sources in the early life reliable? 2600:100C:A211:7F18:C9B7:A8C5:FEE0:4AD6 (talk) 04:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Per this line in the podcast's description, no, these absolutely fail WP:RS even if Youtube wasn't already considered a generally unreliable source by consensus.
All comments made in this video are purely satirical and for comedic/entertainment purposes only. This is a comedy video. Do not take anything said in the video seriously. All people seen in this video are paid actors, this video was filmed on a film set with professionals. Comments made by actors are not to be confused with the real opinions of the actors. This is a staged comedic performance.
I've gone ahead and removed them from the article. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 04:31, 15 April 2024 (UTC)- Granted the info is most likely true but the source isn’t the most reliable…btw undid part of the edit since it indiscriminately removed reliably sourced info. 2600:100C:A211:7F18:C9B7:A8C5:FEE0:4AD6 (talk) 11:39, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- It did not "indiscriminately remove reliably sourced info." As I mentioned above, Youtube is considered a generally unreliable source, per consensus. I've once again removed that material. Please do not reinsert it without addressing the sourcing.⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 15:38, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- To clarify, WP:ABOUTSELF would not apply for the podcast right? 2600:100C:A211:7F18:4573:3C78:3EF5:2CF5 (talk) 01:41, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'd think it'd be a stretch argument, given that it's not really the subject's own podcast; but beyond that, in this case I think the disclaimer in the video description directly negates the reliability of the source regardless of whether it would have otherwise been acceptable. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 01:48, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeahhh I can see why it’s not considered reliable 2600:100C:A211:7F18:4573:3C78:3EF5:2CF5 (talk) 02:05, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Smoking Gun source
editSince the birth date is on the arrest record, is it considered a reliable source? 2600:100C:A20C:6C0F:440C:5169:5AAC:E774 (talk) 20:08, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Is the source considered a primary source? 2600:100C:A218:9A7B:FD18:E2A9:2A2B:B5B0 (talk) 20:46, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
