Why doesn't Chris Chan have a Wikipedia page?

Lengthy discussions on the talk pages for these articles debating whether Chris is worthy of inclusion have been scrubbed from the site. The closest it has come is in 2021 after the incest case, which was agreed against as it would violate the policies on harassment and the principle that Wikipedia must not be a place for speculation or for news, and because some people in contact with Chris have been accused of serious crimes themselves, which would violate the child protection and criminal BLP policies.[11]
The article for Kiwi Farms is an unusual case, since Chris is undeniably relevant to the history of the site. However, the article ties itself in knots trying to avoid mentioning Chris by name and gender-specific pronouns, despite mentioning the CWCki:
Click to expand...
Kiwi Farms was founded in 2013 by Joshua Conner Moon (known as "Null" on the website), a former 8chan administrator. It was originally launched as a forum website to troll and harass a webcomic artist who was first noticed in 2007 on the Something Awful forums. Eventually, an Encyclopedia Dramatica page was created about the artist. A dedicated wiki, titled "CWCki" based on the artist's initials, was created by people who felt that the Encyclopedia Dramatica entry was not detailed or accurate enough. Kiwi Farms was originally called "CWCki Forums" before "Kiwi Farms" was coined in 2014.

Attempts to name Chris on the article have repeatedly been swiftly reverted and entirely deleted from the history page,[12] and the article has also received Extended Protection, which is usually only reserved for the most widely known figures or topics in history, in order to "promote compliance with the policy of biographies of living persons.

They fucked up the last redesign on desktop with that horrible sidebar asking if you want a wide or narrow article taking up 20 percent of the screen. That should be something in a dropdown menu or options. At least you can change to any theme ever made in the settings
 
They finally named he who shall not be named in the Mewgenics article.

In their infinite wisdom, this is the reason why Chris Chan is included.

Shouldn't we not include Chris Chan?​

Right now, under the "Controversy" section, it mentions Christine Chandler as one of the individuals who have voice acted. However, there is generally consensus on other articles that we should not mention Chris Chan, even if she is covered by notable articles:

Talk:Kiwi Farms/FAQ

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive340#Christine Weston Chandler page ("Chris-chan")

So do we include her or not? Max BuddyRoo (talk) 18:22, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

Yes, there are other individuals that do not have the existing WP concern of being included that are covered as subjects of concern in the game by reliable sources. We dont need that as an example. Masem (t) 18:26, 15 February 2026 (UTC)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mewgenics#c-Masem-20260215182600-Max_BuddyRoo-20260215182200

Absolutely. Most of the WP:RS coverage about the ongoing (as of writing) controversy surrounding some of the game's casting choices have singled out the Kleins as the main source of contention, but a few articles have been published recently that give a bit more WP:SIGCOV on the backlash of Chandler's role, including one documenting a Twitter post by Edmund McMillen (the developer) questioning whether she could be held responsible for her 2021 arrest in an attempt to quench the aforementioned backlash. Note the sources use "Christine Chandler" rather than the colloquially-known moniker "Chris Chan", possibly to avoid WP: DEADNAMING. Giovanni Potage (talk) 12:33, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

That entire section is a good example of why Wikipedia's insistence on 'verifiability, not truth' is so dumb, how Wikipedia is just a circlejerk of confirmation bias and how what they consider a 'reliable source' is absurd. THEGAMER article they cite doesn't provide evidence of this backlash, PC Gamer doesn't provide any evidence and the IGN citation is a dead link. In fact the only source that provides evidence of this controversy is the Rock Paper Shotgun article and the evidence they rely on? This, some random fucking forum I've never heard of.

That's it, the actual tangible existence of a 'controversy' is some people on an obscure forum were upset, but now it's placed on a Wikipedia article and has become part of documented record. Even if we assume every response in that forum was by a unique user that would amount to 400 users at most or 0.02% of people who bought the game if we assume 2m copies sold. This is about as relevant as reporting that the creator of Mewgenics sneezed, far too trivial of an event to even be worth documenting in an encyclopaedia.
 
>Page about extrajudicial killings of white people in US
>Bulk of article is a clearly politically motivated spin on how it wasn't as bad as black lynching and actually it was brown Italians and Jews not white people!
>White is lower case on an article about them being murdered while every other race is capitalized

One of the worst articles I've seen. Just out and out cultural Marxist propaganda.

The bulk of the opening is just straight up "okay so 1/3rd of lynching victims were white but actually they were Jews, Italians, Latinos and Asians actually! And they also weren't lynched as bad okay? so don't even DARE think it was like the magical black lynching!"

NO CHUD YOU NEED TO KNOW IT WAS MOSTLY BLACK PEOPLE OKAY?! DON'T YOU GET IT?

The most common way Wikipedia leftists lie is by omission. They will leave out crucial information to a story in order to spin a politically motivated narrative that helps further their cause. Here we see the author leaving out the fact Renee Good was actively obstructing federal law enforcement and tried to ram the officer before being shot. This information which is key to understanding what actually happened is totally omitted. This sentence implies Renee good was simply killed with no just cause or reason. This is false. This is how their propaganda works.

Interesting how one is a "military intervention" and another is a "war." I wonder why. And just look at how the opening paragraphs differ.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_military_intervention_in_Libya#
On 19 March 2011, a NATO-led coalition began a military intervention into the ongoing Libyan Civil War to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 (UNSCR 1973). The UN Security Council passed the resolution with ten votes in favour and five abstentions, with the stated intent to have "an immediate ceasefire in Libya, including an end to the current attacks against civilians, which it said might constitute 'crimes against humanity' ... [imposing] a ban on all flights in the country's airspace – a no-fly zone – and tightened sanctions on Muammar Gaddafi's government and its supporters."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war
On 28 February 2026, the United States and Israel launched airstrikes on sites and cities across Iran, assassinating Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several other Iranian officials and inflicting over a hundred civilian casualties. Iran responded with missile and drone strikes against Israel, US bases, and US-allied countries in the Middle East, and by closing the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global trade.

What account are they using to lurk here?
 
Some Early Life Wikipedias can reveal the whys of people and who to trust and who not to trust. But this one reveals how utterly bizzare our world has become.
