the thing is Youtube is a very valid medium as long as it is not self-insertion.. many stories and mods exist on Youtube that while maybe not "meme" are still notable and it is unfair to simply remove them all under a basis of "all fan fic is bad".

The wiki should aim to remove and punish articles that deal with people making fake characters based on their own work (such as someone making an evil version of a character that does not appear anywhere else).

If a work has more than one Youtube video on it made by someone who did not make the original story it shows it has reached a popularity of a small franchise - because via that site the story is shared with hundreds of viewers.

Something does not require millions of followers to be valid, in my view, to do that harms the wiki - what we need to focus on is articles that are basically Mary / Gary Stu inventions and hoaxes (which would mean no links to any valid Youtube videos) and extremely poor grammar / nonsense (such as "troll" articles).
