* This is extremely difficult. How many mods does someone need to produce before they are notable? Our policy is unclear and half-hearted and is resulting in these years-long arguments. IMO, if someone is both a (popular?) YouTube reviewer AND an active editor, that's cause at least to spell out exactly what is making this person non-notable or notable. We can't continue to judge content based on a totally arbitrary opinion-based metric like what's been happening with these articles up until now, I know that much. From my POV as webmaster, here's the facts: 101 people searched for this guy last month (from today backward) and 12 of them clicked on our article to get more information. That's not huge CTR or a huge number of searches, but it *is* somewhere in the midrange for us (we have thousands of pages searched for once and clicked on once or never). --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 15:59, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

: Also, looking into the article history, I become very confused. [[User:Canofbacon]] originally created the article. I'm not seeing evidence that he did this in bad faith or self-interest, but feel free to prove otherwise. <del>Then [[User:Justice Infinity]] took the opportunity to point himself out as a subject, adding words like "infamous" in front of "Doomguy2000". ''That'' was clearly inappropriate,</del> but up until then no one had taken objection to this article, including regular editors such as [[User:Eris Falling]]. [[User:Grain of Salt]] then nominated the article for deletion, apparently based on this. Is this guilt by association? If so, the nomination was not made in good faith and is invalid. --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 17:34, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

::The only things I did to the article was, clean it up, and re-add the deletion tag which was removed by someone (probably one of aquarius' fans).  I did however nominate the redirect for deletion because it was a redirect for this page right here.  The infamous part was already there when Canofbacon created the article.

::: You're correct so I apologize for the accusation. I misread the history. --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 17:47, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 
  
 
*Well, since you used me as an example, I figured I'd try and give an opinion on this. ''How many mods does someone need to produce before they are notable?'' None, surely? Maps and mods are only one part of what is contributed by the Doom community. Why would a WAD reviewer, a well known one at that, not be notable? If reviewers aren't notable, why did no-one object when [[Kmxexii]] make his own page? Admittedly, I don't know much about Aquarius. As far as I know, he's best known for reviewing Terry wads, which really don't deserve the attention and maybe in that sense, he is not notable. Then again, neutrality etc.
