Biased and destructive edits

I feel like the section has received and will continue to receive biased and unsourced claims/statements. I.e. the term "jokes", as no one technically has the right to define the subject's actions as a joke, or not-a-joke. If YouTube were to make a statement, referring to Paul's actions as "mockery" – or if Paul himself claimed "I was joking" – than of course the term "joke" 'd be acceptable. It's also a necessity that editors refrain from negative adjectives like 'incentive" or "disrespectful". Instead, I changed the statement to read something along the lines of "critics/viewers feel it is insensitive/disrespectful".

I understand the section and "incident" are negative, and ethically/morally unacceptable to many people, but some readers may have differing view points, which is why encyclopedias must remain as neutral as possible. -- AlexanderHovanec (talk) 01:41, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up

I also spent some time tighty-ing the page to make it look like an encyclopedia. Hopefully everyone's alright with that. Happy editing! :) -- AlexanderHovanec (talk) 03:54, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Candidate for Deletion

I personally feel this is a page that best belongs as part of the original Logan Paul entry. The two images of Aokigahara forest and the overly extended headers just make the page look crammed and untidy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dean3000 (talk • contribs) 05:03, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I dsagree, The page has info on both a lawsuit and what could possibly lead to his account being deleted due to said controversy.--2604:2000:1382:40D0:9CA8:8D7D:BAED:45EC (talk) 09:53, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I also disagree. Significant news coverage features this controversy. Some of the most famous people have addressed the issue. Lawsuits, petitions... it's pretty big. Over 30 million have been involved, and that's just in terms of YouTube views. -- AlexanderHovanec (talk) 21:21, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this page should be deleted. It is unnecessary and despite its high news coverage, it is most likely to die down soon and not have that long-lasting of an impact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewsal16 (talk • contribs) 00:15, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, if the story continues to unfold with lawsuits and him being banned from Japan (something I hear is being proposed). Other than that, perhaps it should be. We'll see.Trillfendi (talk) 16:35, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree (delete). The article contains zero information that isn't in the original Logan Paul entry. In fact, it's the result of copy/paste from that article.Renerpho (talk) 09:17, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
