Grey made a live appearance last month. We have [[:File:CGP Grey Live.png|an image of him]] at the event. He has held back on publishing images of himself so far. There are fans that have gone out to look for images of him, and regretted it.[http://www.reddit.com/r/CGPGrey/comments/2n9jsi/hi_25_fantasy_stage/cmbry3y ]. I don't think it would be prudent to post this image of him onto his wikipedia page. If there is some way of initially hiding the image, like was proposed for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Graphical content problem|graphical content]], that would be best I think. --[[User:1Veertje|1Veertje]] ([[User talk:1Veertje|talk]]) 15:45, 25 November 2014 (UTC) |

Person or channel?
I think it would be better to make this article about the youtube channel, not the person. I get why Vi Hart would be about the person and not the youtube channel. We actually know something about the person and she is known for other things than the youtube stuff. But here that's just not the case. It would be like making an article about Henry Reich, only known for minutephysics.
I'd hapily make the needed changes. I just didn't want to do it without consensus from the rest of the contributors. Amphicoelias (talk) 19:16, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- Completely agree. The CGPGrey channel is the notable thing, not the person C. G. P. Grey --192.43.244.42 (talk) 00:11, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Section on his desire for anonymity
should this section be in or not? Please explain why you think yes or no.
Anonymity
He is very secretive about his appearance, often having his face blurred out or hidden when he appears in other people's videos.[1] He also chooses to represent himself as a stickman with square glasses in his "thoughts from the screen" vlog-series. He has said that he "very highly" values his anonymity. He explains this by saying that he likes "being able to walk through the streets of London at night without being recognised and "not having my face in the videos forces me to me to concentrate much more on the visual side of an explanation for particular topic so I can't just shoot myself talking about it."[2]
- No. Article is about the channel. Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinutePhysics and related channels to see how they are written. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.144.224.169 (talk) 09:27, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Creepers
In most of the videos that Grey does, he includes a hidden Creeper in the video game Minecraft. Should this be added in? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BoredomJS (talk • contribs) 14:20, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Done. The edit I made was pretty messy, so feel free to alter it. 2.102.81.45 (talk) 20:30, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
When I said 'alter' I did not mean 'remove completely'. Kindly notify me if you plan on deleting my work, or at least provide some justification. (The reason my I.P. address is different is that I made the first edit using my ipod.) 88.104.241.72 (talk) 21:15, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
- Your work was not deleted, it was relocated to the section above, where it was merged with existing text which overlapped with it. --SnorlaxMonster 07:19, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
Name
I realise that the name is sourced to a news article, but i am unconvinced that it could be said to be his name as he has never stated it and has said multiple times that he values his privacy. Nor does the news article appear to have any source for the name, suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.230.140.138 (talk) 19:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- I've made an edit to my own page with this comment: "I understand that people should limit editing their own pages, but I would like to prevent the use of my full name on the page to bring the article in alignment with the Wikipedia guideline on biographies of living persons." The section of the guidelines that I'm referring to is this one on privacy of personal information. --CGPGrey (talk) 08:28, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- If you state you don't want your full name on the page you can indeed remove it accoding to the guidelines for living persons. However i would like to point out that it will still be in the edit history of this page and since you are the person removing it it is likely people will still stumble upon it if they look through your edit history. The only way to prevent people from seing it is to hide all edits since the one that added your name. I know you are quite fond of your anonimity, so if you'd really like to do this you'll have to contact an administator (I would however like to warn you of the streisand effect). Amphicoelias (talk) 14:04, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm the person who added his name. Sorry about that. Jinkinson (talk) 04:15, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
- It would probably be unhelpful to add that the use of his name falls into a Grey area. Newyorkbrad (talk) 15:17, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello Internet
This article is about Grey's videos and to a much lesser extent Grey himself, so why does his HI podcast encompass more than half of the article? I understand that it is his podcast, but it also Brady Haran's podcast. They are collaborators on Hello Internet, yet there is no mention of the podcast on Haran's article. Any suggestions on what to do about this? Soulbust (talk) 19:58, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
- The reason is that Hello Internet had its own article, but was determined not to meet the notability requires for its own article so merged into this page. (Not that I think it is good the way it is now, but that's why it is that way.) I agree that it is not formatted very well at the moment, and the podcast should also be mentioned on Brady Haran's article. --SnorlaxMonster 15:37, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
An image of his face, spoiler alert.
Grey made a live appearance last month. We have an image of him at the event. He has held back on publishing images of himself so far. There are fans that have gone out to look for images of him, and regretted it.[4]. I don't think it would be prudent to post this image of him onto his wikipedia page. If there is some way of initially hiding the image, like was proposed for graphical content, that would be best I think. --1Veertje (talk) 15:45, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
