![]() | This article was nominated for deletion on 25 June 2023. The result of the discussion was Withdrawn. |
I have reverted the edits. Three kinds of edits were made: Infobox, images and external links. First, this article does not need an infobox. The infobox is redundant and emphasizes unimportant information. See WP:DISINFOBOX. Second, the image added in the Lead is not as good as the one that I have restored and is essentially the same. Finally, we just had a discussion about ELs above. If you want to discuss them further, discuss them here. Do not simply delete them. My opinion is that there are not too many, and that all the ones that are there are of interest to our readers. Per WP:BRD, please discuss here. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 17:14, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

This article has 170 references. This is ridiculous. Yes, I know who Miranda sings is, I am a fan, but this article is way too long and repeats the same info over and over. The wording or descriptions need to stop as well. For example I see tons of adjectives like endearing, etc. there is also a use of ellipses, which doesn't read well at all. This article should be cut in half. Does this article really need a review from every entertainment website for every single performance? 76.123.200.158 ( talk) 19:00, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Im going to start removing some things from the article. It's way too long, it now has 182 refs! I don't feel that Wikipedia has to list every aingle thing that the Miranda character has done. Does anyone want to help me trim down this article? per policy: WP:Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. 2601:483:100:CB54:808E:3128:BEAC:2B97 ( talk) 21:47, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Although Ballinger married Joshua David Evans in 2015 and briefly used Evans professionally, she has returned to using Colleen Ballinger as her professional name, as reported today in Variety. She also changed her social media accounts back to Ballinger. See this (at the top), this and this. I have asked an admin to move her article back to Colleen Ballinger. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 03:37, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
An editor is edit warring over the use of the serial comma in this article. The article's editors have, to date, consistently chosen not to use the serial comma, and, per MOS:SERIAL, the article omits it consistently. There is no consensus to add it. It clutters up sentences. Please stop WP:Edit warring. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 21:35, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
This article is out of hand. It's full of adjectives, reads like fan cruft, and is ridiculously long. An article about a fictional character that has 182 refs is ridiculous. Does anyone want to help me remove the adjectives, fluff and trim down this article?

Now that Miranda has 2 seasons worth of background story in Haters Back Off, should there be a character box along with a fictional biography for her? I think that will be great to treat that section as a television character section. 192.5.215.225 ( talk) 18:58, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

I suggest that you change the part where it says she dances badly. I myself watch her videos, and i know she dances bad but that is an opinion. I bielieve that there should not be an opinion in an article about someone because that is your opinion and somebody else might disagree. So other than that I think this is a very informational article. Emma's Heart ( talk) 06:26, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
After a long observation I always notice this page is being vandalized and people add things without citations. Maybe a protection could prevent future vandalism? KimmyChan13 ( talk) 14:15, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
In reference to the changes made by Ssilvers, this article has serious problems with puffery and descriptions provided in wiki voice that are just repetition of reviews. XeCyranium ( talk) 02:49, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
Some of the sources used in this article such as BroadwayWorld
Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_398#Concern_regarding_Broadway_World and WeTheUnicorns are low quality sources that should be removed and replaced. There also seems to be some
WP:OR, like the statement Since 2013, Miranda has frequently collaborated on videos that other YouTubers display on their channels, often accumulating millions of views
, which is directly cited to the youtube collaborations themselves.

Rather than continuing edit warring, please leave the WP:STATUS QUO in place and discuss, per WP:BRD - preferably without the needless insults of "ownership"? I'm seeing WP:STEWARDSHIP of the article at the moment, so maybe we just focus on the wording of the article, without letting it get personal? - SchroCat ( talk) 12:35, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
It's been featured in a wide variety of sources, such as "Colleen Ballinger: YouTube star writes song to respond to accusing fans" on the BBC, and people were mocking it on Youtube for quite some time due to it being an "apology video" that was actually a song that accused her grooming allegations of being "toxic gossip", despite the fact that there was proof at the time.
