Hello @WhatADrag07, I'll review this. Note that since you have less that 10% of the authorship on this article, it is considered a drive-by nomination. This is what the GAN instructions page says about this:

If the nominator is either the author of less than 10% of the article or ranked sixth or lower in authorship, and there is no post on the article talk page, a reviewer may uncontroversially consider the GAN a drive-by nomination

However it is understandable that you missed this as it is buried in a footnote on that page, so I'll go ahead and review this anyways. Normally if the nominator has low authorship, it indicates a lack of familiarity with the sourcing (hence why the requirements of higher authorship exist), which often means the article has sourcing issues. I notice also that the article has one unreferenced passage at the end of a paragraph:

Watkins became the youngest Royal Rumble Entrant not to be signed to WWE at 20 years and 11 days old, which also made him the youngest ever Entrant beating René Duprée by 1 month and 1 day.

Which also indicates sourcing issues. Therefore I will start with a source spot check to see if the text is supported by the sources throughout the article. The spot check numbers are based on this version of the article.

[15a]: N Almost, but "averaging two viewers per livestream" is incorrect, the source says he averaged two viewers on his first livestream.

[16a]: N The source discusses only his ban from Valorant. It does not support any of Watkins became prominent after his fanbase began posting clips on TikTok of his often-violent behavior during live streams towards games, players, and his camera, which gained popularity and became memes. His outbursts have resulted in bans from the streaming platform Twitch

[37]: N Supports most the text, but doesn't support at least during the round of 16 match between Portugal and Switzerland

[18]: N The words "rape threat" are stronger than the source. Watkins was the first contestant to be eliminated, and shortly after the game had ended, he quickly rejoined the Discord call. He started harassing Kash through offensive remarks. Watkins was then kicked out of the call, with Ross apologizing to Kash for his behavior. is not supported at all

It's clear this article has serious sourcing issues and needs a full source-text integrity check to fix them all. That will take some time and change the article significantly, so it should be done outside of the GA review. Therefore I will fail this now. @WhatADrag07, I would recommend picking a smaller and less controversial article for your first GA. If you do that, feel free to ping me and I'll answer any questions and help review your work. IAWW (talk) 21:52, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
