80.1.183.88, the redirect is fully protected you will need a compelling case to show notability to even have a chance of working on it. You could initiate a split discussion WP:SPLITTING on Talk:Sidemen (YouTube group). You'll need to show independent notability from the group and bring your best WP:THREE sources. There is a Draft:W2S if you feel you need to write out something to see if sources are enough. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 16:10, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest W2S gets his own Wikipedia, as he is the "second most famous" Sidemen. Currently with 16.3 subscribers on YouTube. Noogometni urejevalec (talk) 12:26, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Harold "Harry" Christopher George Lewis (born: November 24, 1996), better known online as W2S (short for Wroetoshaw), is a Guernsey YouTube personality known for his FIFA Fut Draft and Pack videos. He is also widely known for his real-life challenges with his family and friends. Harry is one of the seven members of the Sidemen.

Harry stopped uploading on his 'W2S' channel in 2020, but often uploads on his second channel, 'W2SPlays', and is still active as part of the Sidemen. Background Harry was born in Guernsey but grew up in Alderney - one of the Channel Islands - until his family moved to Guernsey in 2004 when he was 6 or 7. He has a younger brother, Josh, and a younger sister, Rosie. They all attended Guernsey Grammar School. The Sidemen often used the Guernsey stereotype as a joke against Harry, regularly referring to him as "inbred" and having an incestuous relationship with his family.

During his childhood, Harry played for a local football team called 'Rangers F.C.' and once lost a match 32–0. He first got into gaming when his parents bought him a Nintendo GameCube for £5 from a car boot sale. Harry was evidently an intelligent student growing up as he sat his GCSE maths exam a year early and still achieved a grade A*.[1]

Harry is one of three Sidemen members who never lived in the Sidemen House. Until 2014, he lived at his family home in Guernsey. He then moved to London in September 2014 - at the age of 17 - to an apartment in the Stratford Halo tower which he shared with Callux and Calfreezy. The three of them moved out of the tower in the summer of 2018 and into their own house overlooking the River Thames.

In mid-2020, after Callux moved into a new house by himself, Harry and Calfreezy moved into a smaller, new apartment. In March 2015, Harry bought a flat in Guernsey in addition to his London accommodation, which he has now sold.[2]

In 2017, Harry bought a dog named Herb who originally lived with him, Calfreezy and Callux in their Stratford Halo Tower apartment, but now lives in Guernsey with Harry's parents.

He was in a long term relationship with Katie Leach between 2014 and 2019.[3] He visited the German Pascha (the largest brothel in the world) in 2015 and paid for multiple experiences.[4] He claims that this was before he was in a relationship.[5] He has since began a relationship with Anika Byrne 2020- onwards.

YouTube Harry initially set up numerous YouTube channels on which he'd experiment with different ideas (i.e. he had separate channels for vlogging and playing instruments). When he was 13 or 14, he did a fake iPad giveaway to get subscribers, but later admitted the iPad was the property of his brothers.[6]

Eventually, he set up his main channel "wroetoshaw". He created this name from FIFA and it is a contraction of the players Nicky Wroe and Tom Bradshaw. At the age of 17, he dropped out of school and decided to do YouTube as his full-time job. Harry was the last to join the Sidemen, becoming a member around the same time he dropped out of school in early-2014 (a few months after their formation).

An image of Harry's scrotum was leaked onto the internet during a Twitter hack in April 2015. He has since made a joke out of this and has titled one of his vlogs as such.

In August 2015, Harry personally sent £50 to all of his Twitter followers on GCSE results day who tweeted him proving that they gained straight A*-A's. There were at least 16 in total - meaning he sent a minimum of £800.[7]

Harry hit ten million subscribers on his main channel in April 2017 and received his "Diamond Play Button" from YouTube shortly afterwards.

Since then Harry has not uploaded onto his main channel W2S since the 19th of February 2020. He says he has videos filmed he just can't be bothered to edit them anymore instead he has been uploading onto his second channel W2Splays instead as they are smaller videos so they are more easier to film and edit.

Also Harry has created a third channel called W2SClips where he uploads short funny moments of himself over his time doing youtube.

Personality Harry is known for being the most "fearless" and energetic Sideman by being loud and overjoyed in videos. When Harry uploaded FIFA videos, he was known for smashing his chair or controller against the wall or at anything around him when he raged or became excited. A notable time this happened was when he threw his chair behind him and it smashed his TV.[8]

Harry has been described by Ethan and Simon as very "kid-like" and having a "lack of care for the world". He also uses self-deprecating humour and has joked about having a "minor drug addiction". Harry is also considered the least consistent of the Sidemen by not uploading very frequently. This was often one of the jokes in Cards Against Humanity sessions.

Although Harry appears extremely outgoing and extroverted in the Sidemen videos, he has talked numerous times about his lack of social confidence. This is shown in many videos that are filmed publicly or in front of a larger audience. He also spoke about how he found it difficult to make conversation, especially with fans who met him in public, and prefers when people lead the conversation for him in the video.[9]

People have speculated about Harry's alleged drug use because of the diss track Little Boy (where KSI accused him of using crack, ketamine and MDMA) during the 2017 Sidemen War. Harry has since joked about using marijuana and having a drug addiction but it is unknown if it is actually true. In 2021, he said was "not currently on drugs".

Until 2014, Harry lived with his parents and siblings in Guernsey.

He then moved to London at the start of September in 2014 - at the age of 17 - to live in an apartment with Callux and Calfreezy in Stratford Halo Tower. In March 2015, Harry also bought a flat in Guernsey in addition to his London accommodation, since then he has sold it.

Harry, Callux, and Calfreezy lived in the Stratford Halo Tower apartment for 4 years, up until the summer of 2018. Then they all moved into a luxurious house at the end of King's Stairs Close, in Bermondsey, South-East London.

The trio lived there for around a year and a half up until March of 2020 when Callux moved out and bought his own place. Then Calfreezy and Harry moved into a smaller flat in London where they are living currently.

Harry has stated recently that at the end of this year (2021) or the start of next year (2022) he will part ways with Calfreezy after living with him for 7 years and buy his own place in London.

Cars During the summer of 2014 (at the age of 17), Harry bought a chrome-wrapped Range Rover Evoque. He later re-wrapped it with a gold-chrome finish. After just a year of driving the Evoque, Harry sold it to Calfreezy. Just before he sold it, Harry re-wrapped the car for the third time, making its appearance satin black.

After parting ways with the Range Rover in summer 2015, Harry bought a Lamborghini Gallardo, which he sold a few years later. He also possessed a grey Audi A4, supposedly his casual car for when he goes back to Guernsey.

KickTown On October 28, 2019, after not uploading for 9 months, Harry finally uploaded a video on his main channel and announced that he's opening the first football challenge club in the world called 'KickTown' situated in The O2, London. Sadly, after many months of not making enough profit and the impacts of the first 2 lockdowns, Kicktown closed its doors for good in Early November 2020.
