Hi, I will be reviewing this. Ca ^{talk to me!} 14:23, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

From a quick skim

• Lead is too short compared to the length of the article. I recommend adding mention of his side ventures and his streaming persona
• In June 2024, former Twitch employees disclosed that his ban was due to sexting with a minor using Twitch's Whisper feature in 2017 Clarify or remove the mention of "Whispher feature" -  Already done
• It mixed clips of him trash talking over footage of gameplay with real-life footage of him in costume as Dr Disrespect, Clarify "Dr Disrepect" here refers to a persona, not the person himself. -  Done
• ...sparked criticism around the sale of "Founder's Access" NFTs. Wikilink at "Founder's Access" NFTs is WP:ASTONISHing since it targets a generic article about a blockchain game. - Rewritten.
• YouTube suspended Beahm from the platform's partner program and demonetized his channel. Clarify or find a wikilink for "demonetized". Its use in YT is different from its general use. - Rewritten.
• Overall, the sourcing looks alright, and the negative WP:BLP claims look to be well-sourced. I will be performing a more through review later, spotchecking and looking out for WP:NPOV issues 👍.

I apologize for the delay; I did not have time to review this article. I believe I will be able to do the spotchecks this weekend. Ca ^{talk to me!} 11:26, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome to do so at your earliest convenience / when available. Take your time. 2601AC47 (talk) 19:16, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Second go

• Replace Distractify source, unreliable for BLP [1] - Removed as well as the information that relied on it
• The studio's mission is to develop a "day-zero" community experience where players might decide on "feature prioritization, pivotal design decisions, and fuel innovation in the shooter genre" This reads confusing. I have know ide what "day zero" community means and the quote looks like standard business buzz-speak. Recommend paraphrasing. - Also couldn't understand and isn't written in one of the following inline citations, removed.
• Per WP:CSECTION, controversy sections are discouraged. However, as per the essay, the subject is now primarily notable for his minor-sexting controversy. So I believe it is WP:NPOV in this case.

• In hindsight, the "career" section only contains info about his early career. I feel as if the "Controversy" section could be a subheading under the "Career" section -  Already done

• After reading over the sources and the article. I disagree with the part where it says Beahm acknowledged the nature of his ban, and characterized the messages as "inappropriate". in the lead. His full quote is ‘leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate’, and even that statement was deleted by him, elements which retrospective sources like [2] emphasized. -  Done
• You should add the fact that he got paid in full after going through arbitration after the text The legal dispute was eventually resolved in 2022, with neither party admitting wrongdoing and "moving on". [3] - Quoted directly from source. The Verge, Rolling Stone, and others don't seem to provide any information aside from directly quoting his tweet.

Spotchecks

• ✓ Pass Claim He later acknowledged sending messages that he claimed "sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate"; that statement was removed in August, and he tweeted afterwards that "we have lots to talk about" is verified by the two sources.
• ✗ Fail Yohan 2017 does not verify that the moustache's name "Slick Daddy". - Removed.
• ✗ Fail Kaser 2021 does not verify the figure "2 million". Also it should mention Ember Sword is a crypto game since Dr. Respect seems to be engaged in that space. - Removed 2 million and used the prefix used in the source.
• Win.gg should not be used for WP:BLPs per [4] - Removed.
• ✓ PassIn December 2017, he confessed on a livestream to having cheated on his wife, and he stopped streaming for several months before returning in February 2018 is verified by the three sources.
• ✓ PassAdditionally, his partnerships with FanDuel, Midnight Society, Turtle Beach and other sponsors were suspended. is verified. However, its should be clarified Fanduel simply did not renew their partnership, not suspension.
• ✓ PassBeahm claimed in August 2021 that he knew the reason and sued Twitch. is verified.
• ? Maybe Former Twitch employees responded that it was inaccurate, characterizing the messages as "sexually graphic" and that Beahm kept sending these messages even after being made aware the individual was underage Technically verified, but clarify source, it was from an anonymous former employee talking to Rolling Stone. -  Done ish?

Reference ideas

From my search, I found few sources that can add finishing details to the article

• [5][6] Bheam's attempt to remonetise his YT channel
• [7] Response video on YT with angry denial of accusations

Copyright

• Images are appropriately licensed. The lead image appears to be an original photo, according to reverse image search results on Tineye.
• WP:Earwig returns no concerns.

On hold

There were some spotchecks that failed, so make sure the sources of the article verify its content. Some points are awaiting improvement. When the above issues are fixed I will be promoting this article. Good job! 👍

@Ca: per [8] I'll try and finish up your comments here. I am aware of the subject but not intimately familiar with them, and it's difficult to wade through so much of the bullshit spam that is written about internet celebrities, but I've followed WP:RS/VG as my reliability rubric. I've answered the comments individually. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 18:07, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for finishing the review for 2601AC47. Ca ^{talk to me!} 23:03, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

A good thing I tried months ago to clear it up to the best of my abilities, with moderate success. And again, I regret to have left this alone for too long (but I still earn a credit). 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 18:20, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Now nominated for DYK, and a weary world. 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 19:50, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
