 Not done: Not seeing how this is an appropriate external link. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:39, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
For clarity, this is Gooden’s website which he uses to promote SquareSpace in ad reads. I agree that this doesn’t warrant inclusion in the external link section (as beloved as it is by his fans), until secondary sources with significant coverage of this website can be used to provide context in the article.

I'm planning to nominate this article to GA soon. Just a few issues

Primary ref 2 doesn't have a timestamp. (solved)
Amanda's full name is uncited (removed last name)
Potential source?
I think it would be good to have a picture of his YouTooz.

@Strugglehouse: @Dyaluk08: I reverted your edits because they added unsourced information and removed section headings. 
Regarding the headings: Seperating "Primary sources" from main references is used in PewDiePie. Without the subheadings in "Career" and merging already large paragraphs, it basically looks like a wall of text. The merging of early and personal life is used in many other articles and a similar article and I used it here because I felt that they were short enough that they could be in a single article. Also see MOS:OVERSECTION.Examples of unsourced information introduced: 

...due to their vaguely similar physical appearances. This is entirely subjective. The NBC News source it cites says instead "...followers would pretend to confuse them."
He is also known for referring to his fans by the singular noun "guy" as a parody of the usual method of YouTubers beginning each video by saying "hey guys". Entirely unsupported by the NBC News source. There is actually a source which discusses this, but seeing as it is a thesis, I'm hesitant to include it
Video quotations in the AV media citations are unnesscesary if we already have timestamps.
Also, Strugglehouse, if you disagree with the choice of lede image, feel free to discuss it here. The reason I'm policing this article so much is that this is currently a WP:GAN and I want to keep it at the same quality.
Thanks, — VORTEX3427 (Talk!) 02:59, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

@Strugglehouse: Yes, the sources are perfectly fine. But I disagree on the information being included. Amanda is a private figure and there's really no reason to include her former surname and birthdate. — VORTEX3427 (Talk!) 13:50, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
