CDawgVA
- ... that YouTuber CDawgVA has performed in many outfits, including that of a Visual kei artist? Source: "You’ve done other crazy videos like being a host, butler, and even pole dancing. In what way was being a visual kei artist more challenging?" [1]
- ALT1:... that YouTuber CDawgVA has been critical of Western live action film adaptations of anime? Source: "Western live-action adaptations have nearly zero credibility among the anime community. Colquhoun doesn’t have hope for their future, concluding that, “I’m a huge anime and Japanese culture fan, and I love anything that gets more fans into anime and Japanese culture. But I don’t think that live actions are the way to expand.”" [2]

Some easy, easy copy edits brought this article down to below the 1500 character limit, and some of the references were really below par--Mccunicano, I don't see how you would include this in an article you want on the front page. So this needs expansion, and stronger sourcing. The first hook isn't all that exciting and the sourcing is weak: it's an interview, so it's his own words, on what is essentially a fan site--in fact, here is another site that shouldn't be used at all on Wikipedia. The second hook is a bit more interesting, but it has a colonializing aspect to it, elided by the fact that this is a Welsh person who doesn't actually speak Japanese (if the jrocknews source is to be trusted) but is speaking out on behalf of a Japanese cultural phenomenon. Moreover, article in an otherwise reputable paper that verified the hook is written by high school students, and what's worse, it is claimed that "As an influential voice in the overseas anime market..." -- but the article only verifies that he is a fan, at best, and that his channel has a certain number of subscribers. So, in the end, yes it's new enough and I don't see copyvio, but no, it's not long enough, and the hooks need work also, as does the sourcing. Sorry, but on the front page, we need the good stuff.

- I think with that said and the scouring I had to do to find what I did that was published about the subject – I'm just going to withdraw the nomination, I thought it would be a stretch from the get go. There's just not enough out there yet. Thanks for the copyedits and taking the time to review this. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 00:28, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
