AVID:Requests for Comment/Prohibit mention of personal uploads in Availability section

Personal uploads relate to captures of logos/other media posted by individuals (i.e. LogicSmash, Broken Saw, etc.) rather than official channels of companies. If that is acceptable to consider in the Availability section, then YouTube uploads will be often mentioned. The issue with this is that we're basing this information directly off of YouTube videos and channels, some of which may be unnoteworthy and unreliable, considering there exists many logo captures that have no source. That includes calling a very rare logo like the 1971 Viacom logo common thanks to YouTube uploads, which feels off and dishonest since readers want specific sources to find the logo rather than somebody's direct capture of it.

Not to mention this can also be considered adding non-notable information in the same respect as the million-subscriber eligibility criteria or even self-promoting. With the latter, there is a possibility someone may upload their own capture of a logo, or even insert it into fake openings, and put it in the Availability section by mentioning their channel name and video. Doesn't that make the site feel more informal? Also, the "inserting non-notable information" instance has happened recently where on one article, a YouTuber with only around 1,000 subscribers is mentioned for having a lot of captures related to a specific logo (gtp2day).

While most pages do not have "Can be found on numerous YouTube uploads" or something like that, I think this rule should be stated to only allow official sources by real companies/workers who were involved in the making of the logo. Pages must stick to the notability rule, so why not sources? Camenati (talk) 18:52, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
