Talk:Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History

Does this really need to have an article? Unless Chris acknowledged these video essays or has talked to the creator personally like he did with Sachumo, I don't think this should exist. Reading off CWCki articles isn't very impressive and has little to do with the history of Chris himself. DirtyCrappedMiniskirt (talk) 00:26, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

He has actually talked about them and acknowledged them on Twitter, though mostly in a negative light in the past because it exceeded the hurtful truth level. The series is also highly popular on KF and Reddit with Chris himself even following and liking Geno's tweets about the series. Even if it is just reading the CWCki, it's an easily accessible way to see a lot of Chris's videos and audio in chronological order. --Moppo.moose (talk) 01:05, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Again, spoonfeeding random CWC factoids to twelve year olds isn't impressive nor is it important to Chris himself. CWC mentioning him is more of a reason to keep this article up, but if the only documented acknowledgement was a tweet then it should probably just stay on the twitter article(s). If this article stays up, every kid with a 10 dollar walmart mic and sony vegas will start plugging their "extensive documentaries" on this wiki.

Cutting this article down

I think we should cut this article down and only document Chris' responses to it. Seeing that's what we do to all the fan works. Description of each episodes and the youtube account backstory about the old and new series seem pointless. Since Geno works hard on these, maybe we could put up a link to the episodes playlist on the main page. - klop (talk) 03:53, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Section

Should there be a section about the people who interact with Chris having had some influence from the series? The intro mentions KwaiiSandbag:

The documentary itself ended up being a part of Christory in a more direct fashion, as at least one enabler interested in Chris's story reached out to him and successfully encouraged him to stop role-playing as Sonichu by pretending to have psychic powers.

Other examples would be Jacob Sockness and (supposedly, there's no source on her article) Bella. The WCT might count too since he was apparently in Geno's Discord server and met Naught through it. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 00:08, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

He most certainly played a crucial role in introducing many, many people to Christory, so I certainly think there should be a section dedicated to that. Psycho (talk) 02:53, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Hyphen

Does the series use the hyphen in "Chris-Chan"? Scrolling through the episode titles, it seems to spell it as "Chris Chan". This article should be renamed without the hyphen if that's the case. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 06:48, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
