Hi, i was wondering if a article can be made for YouTube as the DiC Mario cartoons are currently available to purchase and watch for free via WildBrain's YouTube channels and also is available currently on the Nintendo Switch.

1. Camwoodstock (talk) We're on the fence for like every other Video Publisher Proposal going on, but hear us out here... We're a little more positive on this one, althought not because of the DiC Mario stuff. No, we're mostly considering this because of Nintendo's very explicit presence on YouTube as a platform overall. We mean, they literally have a few things they made up exclusively for YouTube; namely stuff related to The Play Nintendo Show, the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls video featuring Bowser and Bowser Jr., and, of course, the Nintendo Direct-shaped elephant in the room where they officially upload basically every trailer they've ever made under the sun on there. While we generally don't have articles just for Nintendo's social media accounts, we think YouTube is the one you could make the most compelling argument that it could have one. Of course, if it doesn't get one, then that's understandable; but we do think that a full YouTube article wouldn't be the worst thing ever, all things considered.
2. Axis (talk) I'd prefer if YouTube was a disambiguation page, but a page briefly covering Mario-themed YouTube videos (or listing those already covered on this wiki) is also fine. I'm just afraid it'll become an unmaintained page once created.

Oppose

1. Swallow (talk) I honestly think it will look ridiculous if an article about YouTube is created in any media wiki. YouTube can pretty much host anything, regardless if it's officially or not. As YoYo said here, this would only be worth about one or two sentences regarding Mario-related content; basically saying how YouTube has the Mario cartoons on it. YouTube being on the Switch is also irrelevant to Mario-related coverage.
2. FanOfYoshi (talk) Per Swallow.
3. 7feetunder (talk) In addition to the "these don't need to be separate proposals" sentiment already expressed by everyone else, these video distributors are not article-worthy subjects, and you make barely any case for the contrary. At best we could have a "list of video distributors" article, but even that would require a good argument to convince me we should have one.
4. Super Game Gear (talk) Per Swallow and the others.
5. Mario (talk) Useful content in the page is probably already dealt with in existing articles and categories.
6. Mushroom Head (talk) Per all.
7. Killer Moth (talk) Per all.
8. Biggestman (talk) Per all. We do not need any of these. I will copy and paste this for all of them.
