This page is a huge magnet for trolls. Nearly every edit has been by a troll adding vandalism. Qazwsxedc 01:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Regardless, he's still something of a local celebrity. Lock it until they forget. These dudes don't have the longest attention spans. --Pumj 01:43, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Agreed with deletion. Also looks like you should block an IP range, not just individual users, if possible. -- 16:02, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

I Disagree. Chris is a struggling artist with a large fanbase. As such he deserve some support from his community. Griffintown 19:43, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
It should mention somewhere that he threatens local business owners. --Snyder 06:32, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Page has been protected as a result of more vandalism. --BrianWheeler 10:27, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Internet Celebrity?

Until someone can produce a definite definition of an Internet Celebrity, I disagree with this page (Which I can imagine was written under the close watch of Mr. Chandler) and it's claim he's an internet celebrity. Internet celebrities are personalities like Lucas Cruikshank (Fred) or James Rolfe (The Angry Nintendo Nerd) whom I've heard of on various sites, formats, and news outlets beyond just a couple of web pages.

I can say that being your average internet denizen, that I have never heard of Mr. Chandler or his antics beyond his YouTube channels, his articles on Encyclopedia Dramatica, and his own wiki. I would like to ask editors out there to re-evaluate what makes an internet celebrity, and, with respect to Mr. Chandler, whether he fits that bill. --KentuckyFriedGunman 16:56, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

  • Shouldn't the fact that you, yourself, just now, being an "average internet denizen", in your last comment gave three, very popular, bona fide places you've heard of him, along with the fact that a large amount of people are eager to write about him here make him notorious enough? Artiph 00:22, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
That comment did not make sense. Further elaboration would help. --KentuckyFriedGunman 18:33, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
  • I'm the original creator of this article, and I can guarantee you that Mr. Chandler doesn't know of this page, and that it was entirely fan-made. Also, Mr. Gunman, the fact that you have listed Chris Chandler as one of your potential "Targets" on your blog (here: http://kfgfilms.blogspot.com/?zx=cada791d4586782c ) proves that you are not only of considerably bad taste, but also clearly biased against this individual, and thus not in a position to question the validity of this article. Jim Watson 00:33, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
What was said on the blog proves nothing, and what you did cite was taken out of context. Please do your homework before making such bold accusations. Also, another bold statement you said about Mr. Chandler's unawareness of this particular article sounds very odd. An oddness I'd like to call "suspicious". I would love proof, if any, that Mr. Chandler is entirely unaware of wiki articles about him. --KentuckyFriedGunman 18:33, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
The burden of proof isn't on me, you're the one suggesting this page was written by or under close supervision of Chris. Do you have any evidence linking Chris to this page? Well, neither do I. Jim Watson 23:44, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
  • What defines an internet celebrity? Christian has had his photo tweeted by none other than Nicole Ritchie. He's appeared on breakfast radio shows and had an entire segment to devoted him on the evening news. Christian has described himself as "internet famous", and he is his own best source. --Frenchonion 06:24, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
I would love your clear definition of fame. Appearing on local television and local morning zoo radio shows does not make one an internet celebrity, as by your definition, I have become an internet sensation, being asked questions on CBS Sunday Morning and appearing twice on local news stories on our PBS and CBS affiliates. Furthermore, there are at least 20+ sockpuppets of Nicole Ritchie on Twitter, and any one of them posting someones picture does not make them famous on the internet. --KentuckyFriedGunman 18:33, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
EDIT: I must point out that using Frenchonion's formidable logic, that I also qualify as an internet celebrity based on my own testimony. After all, I AM the best source of info about myself. --KentuckyFriedGunman 19:13, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Hey KFG, seriously, what are you doing here? You have never made an edit to the Cvillepedia and you probably don't even live in Charlottesville, why do you care about Christian Weston Chandler then? Maybe because he's an e-celebrity? Oh, and besides that, the fact that your childish webshow spends time on Christian Weston Chandler, someone who you obviously don't know in person, pretty much proves that he has e-fame. Why else would you schedule a show about him... Jim Watson 23:40, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
