> Out of curiosity, which other YouTube series do you think would be requested if MIB is added?

That's the thing, it doesn't really matter. The problem is that what qualifies as "significant" for fandom-related content is too subjective per person to regulate. The degrees of separation can be anything from "Oh, Monster Island Buddies is pretty significant, why not add DaikaijuLegends' Zone Fighter? Maybe Up From The Depths' channel should have a page too? And if we add him then..." You see what I mean? Fan content is an extremely slippery slope to go down, it's why a vast majority of wikis (like TFWiki and Wookieepedia) have little-to-no fan content covered. We might eventually get to the point where we're adding complete no-names to the wiki because some users believe them to be significant enough to add. It also is a problem of priority: I know for a fact that including fan content would lead to a good number of users choosing to ignore important articles (like writing plot summaries for actual movies) in favor of writing for whatever YouTube channel they like instead. It's a mentality I don't think we should encourage.

So yeah, I still don't think we should do it. I don't think including it is worth the hassle that will most likely follow it.
