'Internet celebrity' edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

>In July 2016, Wang became an internet celebrity on the Chinese micro-blog Sina Weibo. A fan club on Weibo devoted to Wang has more than 130,000 followers.

Wait, in a country of 1.4 billion a fan club of 130,000 makes you a celebrity? That's like having a 30,000 "strong" Twitter account dedicated to someone in the US a "celebrity". I also notice that the article to back up this claim comes from Buzzfeed with "kinda weird" in the article title. I know Wikipedia insists on Buzzfeed being "reliable journalism" for political reasons, but this is something that should have never made it into Wikipedia. If my catpics Twitter account has 0.01% of a country's population as followers, is my cat a celebrity? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.2.87.145 (talk) 04:18, 7 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

I mean, it is a RS that calls him him a celebrity. You can write specifically that buzzfeed calls him a celebrity because [fill in whatever info you think is relevant], but I don't think it's particularly important. Toad02 (talk) 18:23, 28 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
