:{{u|AleatoryPonderings}}, meaww.com copied almost all of the content from Oliver Darcy's article in businessinsider.com. They didn't do any original reporting. We have reason to think they're reliable. The author, Jyotsna Basotia has a bio that says: "Like everyone, I watch TV and lie down on my couch — I'm just clever enough to get paid for it!"

Activist??

What is the wikipedia definition/classification for activist?? Isn't he a youtuber who got banned. Otherwise wikipedia would also need to classify nick fuentes differently.Chefs-kiss (talk) 15:32, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

He appears to be referred to as an activist, for example: Far-right activist is among the latest Capitol rioters to be arrested. (NYT). I don't know about Nick Fuentes, I guess he could be described (and gets referred to) as an activist too. — Alalch Emis (talk) 16:59, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
@Chefs-kiss: What is the wikipedia definition/classification for activist?? It's a common misconception that there are some sets of criteria on Misplaced Pages for various descriptors, and we evaluate a person's behavior against them to determine which should be used. Instead, we look at the terms that reliable sources use for a person, and attempt to reflect the most widely-used. If you are seeing that reliable sources regularly use some other description for him, feel free to suggest it. While it's certainly true that some sources may have referred to Baked Alaska as a YouTuber, it seems unlikely that they do these days, given he was banned from the platform. For what it's worth, Nick Fuentes is also referred to as an activist in a few places, and reliable sources sometimes describe him as one as well; it's not in the lead primarily because sources more frequently refer to him as a "commentator", etc. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 18:13, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
