Wikipedos will sooner give some social media literally-who (who they definitely don't simp for) an article than admit that Chris Chan has been a sufficiently culturally significant entity to be worthy of a wiki article, just because they're still seething about him making and editing his own article ten years after the fact.

They go out of their way to avoid mentioning CWC in any context. It gets absurd.

This was mentioned on the talk page, it doesn't seem like a special exemption. It seems like they have general policies against that sort of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AVOIDVICTIM#Avoid_victimization

From the "Kiwi Farms" article:

The most overt issue with that section is how the timeline is described. For instance:
Kiwi Farms was founded in 2013 by Joshua Conner Moon (known as "Null" on the website), a former 8chan administrator.

This is true. However, it is misleading because he became involved with 8chan a while after creating Kiwifarms.

I fully expect the Gulf of Mexico to keep it's name unless every bordering country renames the gulf as well. It will be interesting to see them justify not renaming McKinley though, not Alaskan and I didn't even realize it had be renamed officially since I've only ever heard it referred to as Mount McKinley.

Anyway here's some McKinley arguing.

It's been called Denali there for like 50 years. Officially according to State of Alaska documents.

Yes Wikipedia has an article on this:

It's been nominated for deletion, but from the !votes so far it's likely to survive.

It includes text like this:
Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups celebrated the gestures.

But the paragraph on these supposed groups' celebration is mostly them laughing about it.

Also, there is an article for this:

Not doubting that, it's just that those of us who don't live in igloo-land and only interact with the mountain through books and movies don't know what a Denali is. I think if an official name-change goes through and Wikipedia doesn't honor that it will be very weird and hard to justify even if Alaska calls it Denali. Historic names and local nicknames should never take precedent over the official legal name in an encyclopedia unless a source using the old name is being quoted. If the Alaskan government has been using a different name for the mountain in legal documents since before the official name change I think that's worth pointing out, and I can see the arguments for historic preservation, but the wikipedians aren't opposing it mainly on that ground but because of the circumstances in which the revert (may) happen.
