Hasan Piker banned on Twitch Again
I admittedly I could only find a Newsweek source (I know I know) but how much weight if any should this have on the page if it gets more coverage? [[1]] I know we cannot "predict" coverage but a seven day ban if I am not mistaken is the longest ban he has ever had. Any thoughts? Agnieszka653 (talk) 19:52, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Not notable for its own segment but stick it on the end of the 2025 segment that references multiple bans. Rambling Rambler (talk) 20:01, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- I haven't seen any coverage in any notable RSs, either. It seems like, Twitch hasn't made a statement about the ban length or reason for it, either. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 22:28, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Asking how much weight it should be given "if it gets more coverage" is the opposite way to look at it. The weight can only be evaluated based on the sources so they need to come out first. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:42, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
Proposal: Add at least a sentence mentioning the shock collar controversy
Despite being one of Hasan's biggest (if not the biggest) controversy in Hasan's careear there is not one mention of the controversy here is a article from a reliable scource by wikipedia's standards

- It does seem a bit silly that such a big controversy is omitted from this article, but alas the RfC resulted in no consensus. — Czello (music) 08:17, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
- No. It’s an allegation with no evidence. We don’t deal in rumour-mongering. Rambling Rambler (talk) 15:18, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
- its not rumor mongering there are reliable sources that have covered the story another one being

- It is a rumour. It's an allegation with no evidence.
- We don't add those to BLP unless there's an exceptionally good reason, and "people online claimed he did it" coverage isn't an exceptionally good reason. Rambling Rambler (talk) 15:52, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
- For additional info, there was an RFC about it. Talk:Hasan_Piker/Archive_4 ◦ Sibshops (talk) 15:55, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
- When people look for the shock collar allegation they go to google and then they click whatever the fist link they find is, if it's not on Wikipedia they'll go to another site that covers it. It's better that they get their information from a well-balanced and fact checked source rather than something else.
- That's why it's important to mention the allegations and also mention how they're just accusations. Nordinha (talk) 16:48, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
- You would need to start another RfC as the recent one resulted in no consensus which defaults to excluding the content. --CNMall41 (talk) 03:23, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

Change "As of 2026, Piker is the 30th most subscribed channel on the streaming platform Twitch." to "Piker is among the most-watched political streamers on the platform Twitch, where his channel has millions of followers and regularly draws large audiences for live coverage of major political events."[1] Akts2004 (talk) 16:46, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
- Did you copy-paste the wrong source? It links to copyright.gov instead of a reliable source which makes this statement. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 16:55, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
"Piker has been described as Twitch's "de facto political commentator", using an unabashedly ideological framing"
Someone tell me what this means because i have no clue Trade (talk) 22:51, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
- It appears to be a quote from one academic study, based on the reception section of the article. I don't think it really belongs in the lead, not least because it's quite confusing out of context. I'm going to remove it. Another sentence in the lead summing up his large cultural impact wouldn't be a bad thing I think but this one isn't very good.
