Should we add some of the relavent memes or current controversies?[edit]

These could be added by citing youtube directly since the news does not cover Leafy's ongoing spiff with H3H3. As for memes the reptilian brotherhood would probably also be an easy one to add and would really flesh out this page. Bgrus22 (talk) 07:41, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday[edit]

This article states that he is 25 but doesn't confirm his actual date of birth. Should we just put "age 25" in the "birth_date" parameter of the info box or leave it blank? Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 07:41, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This has been resolved with the use of Template:birth based on age as of date. I doubt that hitc.com is reliable but Vice also mentions his age. Per WP:DOB, specific birthdates must be public information according to reliable sources. Reliable sources are not optional. Grayfell (talk) 00:17, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LeafyIsHere comes from the Hardcore Factions Minecraft community where his commentary videos originate from. First video titled "Kids that DDOS". He talks about a minecraft server he ran, where people kept DDOSing it for money or fame. HippoEXE (talk) 15:00, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A new section dedicated to his recent social media return, notably twitter.

1. TWITTER##

Vail returned to the social media platform Twitter after his account was limited for over a year due to violations of Twitter’s rules. He became prominent in the gaming and LGBTQ+ community, after his account was used for posting far-right, homophobic, transphobic and sexist content.

Adjust as you need to, add links where necessary, some relevant links below.

Neither of those are reliable sources, so I have reverted. Grayfell (talk) 05:03, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Years active[edit]

Years active should be changed from "2011–2017, 2020" to "2011–2017, 2020, 2023-present", since, as the above edit request mentioned, he's streaming again. 2A06:5B01:713:1000:C525:1DB5:5F42:45F2 (talk) 03:43, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

leafys nationality[edit]

Nationality isn't the same as ethnicity. Either way, cite a reliable source. Grayfell (talk) 05:05, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Make the sentence: "Vail was terminated by YouTube in 2020, citing repeated violations of their harassment policies." sound less like Vail was killed.

Maybe "Vail's account was terminated by YouTube" or "Vail's channel was terminated by YouTube in 2020" or "Vail's YouTube channel was terminated by YouTube in 2020." 50.39.168.113 (talk) 19:15, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Closhund /talk/ 19:27, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't think that anybody would think, even for a moment, that YouTube kills people for violating its ToS but I agree that this change is a slight improvement. DanielRigal (talk) 19:30, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New info[edit]

Leafy´s Twitter account was suspended yesterday due to several controversial and problematic tweets he has made

https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/news-controversial-youtuber-leafyishere-banned-x

Nn88nn88 (talk) 17:20, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

His controversial tweets date back to at least June, so ~~Twitter~~ X was surprisingly lenient with him. For the timeline, his first known Twitter suspension was actually years earlier. According to Wikitubia (Fandom), it was in April 2021, but that source is not suitable here. Elominius (talk | contributions) 10:50, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Birth year category[edit]

The article only has the 1995 birth year category, even though the introduction states he is born in "1995 or 1996". Is it standard practice to add only the earlier birth year category? Elominius (talk | contributions) 03:29, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
