Is Shane Dawson dating the Gabbie Show? No! She is very cute!

ᾚᾅΦᾇωἑἔ

No! He is currently dating Ryland Adams Gisselm (talk) 22:21, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the section on Shane's personal life, it mistakenly states that he is dating a fellow YouTuber. The link supposedly confirming this is just to a silly YouTube video of them that has brought up the topic (since proven false) that they are dating. Nowhere in the video does it mention them as a couple. Thanks for clearing this up :)

Hey, I noticed that your Wikipedia pages for people sometimes include their catchphrase(s) so the edit that I am requesting is that you add that Shane Dawson's catchphrase is "Hey what's up you guys, yes." He often uses this cathcphras eat the beginning of his Youtube videos. Thank you! 24.64.85.54 (talk) 23:56, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. One concern is that it might not be notable enough to add. Also, we need a source that is both reliable and written by a third party, meaning not Dawson or anybody involved with Dawson's work. Please see WP:RS. CityOfSilver 00:08, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Partly done: Made edit 1 and 2. Did not make edit 3 because one video does not seem enough to constitute an associated act, Tana Mongeau does not seem notable enough, and several YouTube collaborations are not included a associated acts. --Danski454 (talk) 11:33, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shane Dawson uploaded a one-hour long video about the return of fellow-youtuber Eugenia Cooney. Cincinnati resident (talk) 04:27, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are at least three, highly critical, references to Dawson's father. All are sourced to the subject's own videos on Youtube, but framed in WP:VOICE. WP:BLP ? Pincrete (talk) 17:39, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It has been proposed in this section that Shane Dawson be renamed and moved to Shane Yaw.

Shane Dawson → Shane Yaw – If you look at other youtubers' article names, they are almost always their real names (examples: Daniel Middleton, Joseph Garrett). I don't see any reason why this is different. Minecrafter0271 (talk) 22:59, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose, per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:STAGENAME (etc.). Shane Dawson is the name he's known by and referred to in almost every source (i.e. He's rarely, if ever, referred to by his birth name Shane Yaw). Additionally, there's a difference between someone online being known by their username (like your example "Joseph Garrett" going by "stampylonghead" online), versus someone online going by a name that's actually a name (i.e. a different surname, like "Shane Yaw" going by "Shane Dawson" for example). (...Also, by the way, your other example Daniel Middleton's page is actually at "DanTDM".) But even with that distinction, you still have examples like Felix Kjellberg (whose page is at his widely-used username PewDiePie), so similarities to other pages aren't a great argument when other pages are split. Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:24, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME, never referred to as Shane Yaw anywhere. If there are other articles on YouTubers known by a pseudonym that aren't titled that way, that's a reason to move those pages, not this one. Nohomersryan (talk) 00:17, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose, per above. As long as there is a redirect at Shane Yaw to get the few here that look under the wrong name we’re fine. Gleeanon409 (talk) 11:02, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
