Now this was a thing on chat that made me want to talk about it more directly, because it's not that it's an issue, more just people having mixed views on the subject. Now I'm not talking about web shows like RWBY or anything, I'm talking about Internet Personas, or we can call them YouTuber Personas. This includes the likes of Filthy Frank, JonTron, NSP, etc. where it can be hard to figure out what's the actual person and a fictional character being played by said person. Now when it comes to say Filthy Frank and Danny Sexbang, it's easy to differentiate them from the actual person. But when it comes in for people such as JonTron or even AVGN, it's harder to tell whether it's a real-life person or the persona.

And it does say that it's against the Rules and Guidelines to use real-life people, but the likes of JonTron as a separate character has shown to differentiate from Jon Jafari himself... if that makes sense. I'm not siding on either side of the spectrum, I'm just asking since it's a topic that interested me. Now the Rules and Guidelines does state to not use internet celebrities, but nothing did say a word about their persona, more the "celebrity" part going to the likes of Jon Jafari or James Rolfe rather than JonTron and AVGN. Basically the question is, should we allow Internet Personas to be allowed on the wiki?

Should we allow Internet Personas to be used as combatants? Yes No

NOTE: I'm not talking about memes here, such as using Meme!Chuck Norris or Pepe the Frog, just personas played by people such as YouTubers and whatnot.
