Problems at Cody Ko

I just stopped by to let you know that those two links you edited should have been removed outright along with the content they're supposed to support because they are not reliable enough for a biography; please see WP:DEXERTO and WP:RSREDDIT for details. Happy editing!   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:50, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough. Thank you. I just saw that they weren't formatted properly, so I changed that rather than critiquing the value of the sources, which, in retrospect, I should have done. I am curious, though, in regard to the Reddit link, it wasn't a comment from a user. It was a video of Cody Ko uttering the n-word in a stream some years ago. Is that still considered an invalid source of information solely based on where it was posted? Jmg999 (talk) 21:28, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

I believe videos on Reddit are subject to the same guidelines established at WP:RSPYOUTUBE.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 17:32, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for that link. I could see where this might fall under a copyright violation, but it seems that a video clearly originating from the subject in question should be offered some validity. It was reported elsewhere, albeit w/ the similar sources of proof, but Ko also apologized for what was in those videos, lending some credence to their authenticity. Is there a way to open this discussion to a larger community consensus, b/c I believe that using someone's own content should considered valid, even if it doesn't necessarily originate from them.
