Entertainment-related Youtube channel category removed
editA question to @Jeraxmoira, you removed this category saying "not a YT channel" as the reason, but it is a YouTube channel.
Was this some sort of mistake? If so, kindly restore it.
And I'm fine with keeping the category notice on for others to contribute if they like. Raskolnikov.Rev (talk) 07:46, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- The lede says "BOOS, in its first years known as #BOOS, is a popular Dutch online investigative journalism and consumer show", which made me think it was a show rather than a YouTube channel. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 10:58, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ah ok, no worries. As noted later on, it is both a YouTube show as well broadcast on two public broadcasters. This was actually the cause of some controversy, which I may add to the page later. In the Netherlands public broadcasters have sole rights to any shows they produce, and they're put on their own TV channels and online platforms. However Tim Hoffman and BOOS managed to convince the broadcasters to let them have a YouTube channel as well where they post their own show as this would appeal more to younger audiences, and they were given permission. I believe to this day it's still the only Dutch public broadcaster produced show that is allowed to do this. Raskolnikov.Rev (talk) 18:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- The problem here is that you have titled it 'BOOS (web series)', which implies it’s a series rather than a channel. I would advise you to move this page to 'BOOS' and write about the channel and all its shows, focusing on what it is known for. But if the channel is only known for this show, then you can write exclusively about the series without mentioning it as a channel. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 19:14, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- I can see why there would be confusion here. The channel is the same as the show, it doesn't put out any other shows, so it's best to keep it as is.
- I'll add the part about the public broadcasters versus YouTube channel conflict with the relevant sourcing so that can further clarify it. Raskolnikov.Rev (talk) 07:51, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Done. Disambiguation is not needed here. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 07:57, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
