The "Why I hate Wikipedia" YouTube video discussed at the other thread you link was made by YouTuber and journalist J. J. McCullough. You wanna see something funny? This discussion is from 2008: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/J.J._McCullough https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... The J. J. McCullough biography was created and deleted a total of five times on Wikipedia (with two different spellings of J.J.): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/J.J._McCullough_(2nd_nomination) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/J.J._McCullough_(3rd_nomination) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/J._J._McCullough https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/J._J._McCullough_(2nd_nomination) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... I believe he may not be telling the whole story in that video.
