Talk:Nihachu

Reliable sources

The only independent reliable source that goes into significant detail about Nihachu is NME. Are there any sources which will help her meet WP:GNG? — VORTEX³⁴²⁷ (Talk!) 12:45, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

@Vortex3427 This source and this source go into quite a bit of detail. Strugglehouse (talk) 20:04, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this article is currently too far from the GA criteria for a full review. The situation here is tricky -- it falls right into a lot of the reasons it's hard to write about Internet culture on Wikipedia, which is that the sources that are the most reliable in colloquial terms tend to be unreliable in Wikipedia terms.

Most of this article is primary-sourced to Youtube videos. This is Wikipedia-acceptable in some contexts, but not as used here -- the significant majority of sources are this, and the exceptions tend to be either primary (e.g. government documents) or unreliable (e.g. Wikipedia-laudering 'bio' sites) themselves. Only a few sources are all of secondary, non-self-published, and at least reasonably likely to be Wikipedia-reliable. There are enough of them to demonstrate notability, but not, as seen here, enough to write an article. In some cases these self-published sources also talk about other people, which falls afoul of WP:BLPSPS (a complicated policy in the modern age, but an extant one).

Simultaneously the article is very short, to the degree it's not really a sufficiently in-depth look at Nihachu's life, but it's clear the sources for a better one don't exist. Even with the heavy primary sourcing here, it's still only 600-ish words. Some of the stuff that's included I'm also unsure about. There is very heavy focus on Nihachu's mental health, and while it's clear that's currently a subject she's comfortable speaking about in these terms and doing outreach about, I'm concerned about whether she'd want her article to look the same way in a few years. Openness about mental health issues (especially highly stigmatized ones) is something people can waver on quite drastically throughout their lives, and are frequently moreso as young adults than elsewhere.

I also have some concerns about the prose, such as a heavy use of contractions and some overwriting (e.g. frequent use of 'would').

I'm sorry to quickfail here, and I hope not to discourage you from working to improve articles in the future. The sources don't currently exist for a GA here, but there might be other articles you could take to this level. Internet culture is tricky; I've written a GA on it, but for something much earlier in the internet's history, where there was enough time for more secondary sources to report on it. Wikipedia's understanding of sourcing is quite unlike the ones used in many other places, and it's not an easy place to write about it accordingly. Vaticidalprophet 07:58, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Removals of pictures by TA

On here and Wilbur Soot @~2026-24716-91 has been removing the image of them both citing her request to not be associated. While I trust that this was said, I'd like a twitch link of a VOD or clip to verify it. Also, given that it exists, should we remove the photo as per subject request? Realtent (talk) 15:01, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

The vod is no longer on twitch because it was 2 years ago. Here is a link to a clip on YouTube posted 2 years ago

(https)://youtu.be/abkChwxUrcQ?si=-9J17oNmrebNnQlo

as well as a X post she made briefly speaking about it as well

(https)://x.com/neimki/status/1762585456036954226?s=46

it will not let me post the links so copy and remove the parentheses ~2026-24716-91 (talk) 16:50, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

The youtube link is of an unofficial channel, and the link to the stream in that description has been removed. The twitter/x link talks in vague terms, and while I infer who it's talking about, I wouldn't call it solid either. I'm not going to revert though as to not start edit warring. Realtent (talk) 17:14, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

It doesn’t matter if it is unofficial channel. It’s clearly her saying it ~2026-24716-91 (talk) 18:03, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

As per WP:ABOUTSELF, "Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves." The youtube isn't published by herself, so we probably can't consider it.

Also, while we remove content based on subject request, I haven't seen any media that documents that she wants this picture removed. Unless you are her and are asking for this to be taken down as per your own request, this probably doesn't apply.

"Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves."

The YouTube is clearly a questionable source, and it is clearly her speaking, so therefore it is allowed as per WP:ABOUTSELF. Brynn Who Likes Editing (talk) 10:14, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 18 May 2026

For sainity, and for current and past feelings, i feel as though the photo with niki niachu and wilbur soot should be taken down, while its a reflection of a past, and of career with the incident as of in earlier 2024, it feels a bit disrespectful to the creator, espically with comments made. thank you and please consider. ~2026-29805-92 (talk) 01:32, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: No valid reason supplied for removing the image. —C.Fred (talk) 01:42, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

 Done I've removed the image, see my edit summary for rationale. Brynn Who Likes Editing (talk) 10:15, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
