I agree with the above comment from IP 78.149.209.252 - Preceding unsigned comment added by Nameequalsjeff ( talk Yeah whoever made this section is definitely anti-Pool.

See: his reddit AMAs, and all the news articles about him.ħ8.149.209.252 ( talk) 17:58, 17 April 2017 (UTC) Article should be expanded if anything Pool's pretty famous for being a sort of "underground" journo. Henrik Erlandsson 00:43, 11 March 2017 (UTC) - Preceding unsigned comment added by HenrikErlandsson ( talk Ībsolutely ludicrous, and clearly politically motivated opinions. I don't know how VICE News is relevant, since it's not a news agency and reads like a clickbait site. I suggest to again form consensus around keep or delete, and at the very least require citerefs regarding his employment history as journalist. I agree with ( talk)'s analysis, this entry is written by Tim or a friend.

So he's not yet Youtube famous, despite having sought out controversy wherever he's gone since, oh, all the way back to 2011. He's on Youtube, and he has fewer views than anyone you never heard of on Youtube, and suspiciously few for a 'leak type reporter'. I'd provide a ref for my claim, but all the refs supporting it point back to him. It would be unfortunate if everyone could compose their own resume in place of an actual one to get a Wikipedia hit among his first hits who are all the normal social media ones. He's currently posting essays from a trip to Sweden with his girlfriend paid for by extreme right-wing Trump supporters, and this is a theme of his 'dogged reporting' of late. (As paper mags turn to the Internet Wikipedia will have to rethink its policy about cites - side note).

Leave the page as is the remarks about it seeming as more of a resume seem to be a personal attack rather than a discussion about the facts. It is imperative that Tim Pool's citizen journalism be encouraged and promoted in service of a larger challenge to preserve freedom of the press.Ĭebu4u ( talk) 02:43, 6 January 2012 (UTC) The NYPD have established a pattern of arresting livestreaming reporters first (with prejudice), seizing equipment and destroying evidence thereby restricting the freedom of the press. Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.14.68.230 ( talk) 00:59, 6 January 2012 (UTC) Tim Pool's coverage of the ongoing Occupy Wall Street direct action are extraordinary simply by the consistency and perseverance of his reporting, despite the inherent danger posed by the NYPD. Someone needs to edit his page to fix it and I don't know how. If that is not notable I don't know what is. His Ustream page has over One million live viewers and over 4 million unique hits.

He just went on RT, his footage is used by NBC, MSNBC, Al Jazeera, Rueters, BBC, CBS. Several stories just came out over his departure from TheOther99 and his OccuCopter is international news,īeing carried by hundreds of outlets. He has two features with TIME magazine one of which is person of the year. Maybe you guys need to do research and clean the article instead of deleting it. HIs footage is used by NBC universal and all of its affiliates. Thank-( Wikipedian1234 ( talk) 16:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)) Tim Pool is featured in TIME's person of the year. Deletion candidacy will bring this discussion to a wider audience. It seems that some primary editors of this article haven't been active. Thanks-( Wikipedian1234 ( talk) 04:17, 4 January 2012 (UTC)) I've decided to put this article up for deletion.

Pool notable enough to merit an article in the first place. Need I say more? I don't really consider Mr. Pool's dedication to reporting has earned him praise from both social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter as well as mainstream media sources." First of all this entire paragraph is unsourced. "Throughout his reporting, members of the public and viewers of the stream, inspired by the coverage, brought him batteries, food, water and energy drinks to support his reporting marathons."Unique 21 hour marathon earning him fame".The "founder" of timcast and the "tech director" of theother99%.
