Reviewer Comment[edit]

This title currently redirects to GameTrailers, and the redirect is a "new" redirect, not the result of discussion and stubbing down. It appears that this web site, Easy Allies, satisfies web notability "at least as well" as GameTrailers. I will be accepting this draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:16, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Colin Moriarty Interview[edit]

My arguments for the removal of this section is: 1. This event had no impact the success of the group.

  Looking at the November 2017 period on https://graphtreon.com/creator/EasyAllies there is nothing that signify a drop in in patreon supporters because of this. The drop at the end of the month is 200~ all year round and looking at the year as a whole there is no loss of patreon supporters.

"Several backers pulled their support" Is not backed up by the facts, besides being incredibly vague.

2. This event had no impact the operations of the group.

  A little more tricky because the only comments given are behind a paywall. The Cup of Jones QnA of 11/28/17 talks about it but does not suggest changes to the decision making.

In the end I feel this is on the same level of the Beach Peach Splash drama, which did impact the the way how games were selected to be played. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.57.53.200 (talk)

Something need not have significant effect in order for it to be notable. The claim being made (that several backers pulled their support) is substantiated by the referenced article ("Isn’t it possible for someone like Moriarty to make a totally offensive joke and hold some uncouth thoughts but *also* be someone with worthwhile insights into gaming, politics, and particularly journalism? I’d say yes. Sadly, some Patreons have said no, pulling their support."). Perhaps the wording could be changed from 'several' to 'some', but I'm not sure there's a serious difference there.

The claim being made is being presented neutrally. The point is not being given undue weight in the article, with only two short sentences in the entire article dedicated to it. It is not presented as the majority point of view, but the view of a minority (per WP:UNDUE this does not preclude its inclusion). That it was a significant enough minority as to attract outside media attention and to be addressed in a Q&A in my mind demonstrates sufficient notability as to merit its inclusion.

Current Operations[edit]

Just wanted to query whether this section should be updated or even removed; it appears to be referencing Tabletop Escapades and Box Peek, neither of which are currently running (TTE being on indefinite hiatus and Box Peek having completed its 10 episode run with Kyle Bosman now having left the allies).

I wonder if it's a worthwhile section keep in its current form? It needs to be actively maintained, and all current operations can be found on the Easy Allies website anyway, so repeating here seems redundant. The notes on raising money for charity and the game awards seem like they could move to the general history section citing specific events and/or a period?

A list of shows produced by the allies might be more useful, with brief notes about what they feature(d), and whether they're cancelled, ongoing etc. It'll still go out of date from time to time, but serves as more of a point in time historical note that can be added to/amended, rather than the current section which needs to be periodically re-written? Just an idea. -- Haravikk (talk) 23:02, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Haravikk:, I don't think this would be contentious at all. By all means, be WP:BOLD and make the changes. Domeditrix (talk) 13:05, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
