Since politics can be a touchy subject, and users come from both ends of the spectrum, guidelines must be put into place to avoid politically biased articles that make outrageous comments, which can offend the opposite spectrum.

*<b>No derogatory comments</b>- Comments like "Obama is a nigger", or similar derogatory comments may be true, but are also used as an insult, which can be offensive.

:Question! What about humour that's obviously untrue, but still not biased? Such as "George Washington was otherwise known for knocking (down trees) before entering a door". That's all right, isn't it? --[[User:NinjaCoachZ|NinjaCoachZ]] 16:02, 16 May 2010 (CDT)

::If it doesn't offend, and is not politically motivated, then that is fine. That guideline is really intended for people that might call George Bush either a racist or a retard, or make similar claims about other politicians, in more or less of a serious attitude. -[[Yoshit]]

Another thing. Why is it that we're only concerned about American politics being biased? There's plenty of satire about British politics here, and I bet if I made an article gushing over Paul Martin nobody would mind that much (then again, Paul Martin didn't really ''do'' much as I recall). --[[User:NinjaCoachZ|NinjaCoachZ]] 21:03, 29 May 2010 (CDT)

Guidelines for Politician Articles

In YTPedia, November 23, 2019

The past guidelines which demanded neutrality for politicians came from a different staff in a drastically different era, and are now discarded. From this point forward, politicians are free to be lampooned so long as it's not in an edgy, 2008-era manner. There is only one major bit of criteria to follow: the politician in question should have enough relevance to YouTube Poop or its associated community.

For example, dew deleted the pages of any US president that didn't have enough community relevance. The status of said presidents's pages is as follows:

  • Abraham Lincoln had a page that was since deleted due to community irrelevance.
  • John F. Kennedy had a page that was since deleted due to community irrelevance.
  • Richard Nixon still has a page because he was a noted injoke on YouChew (particularly via me).
  • Ronald Reagan still has a page because of Whelt's popular YTP of him.
  • Bill Clinton had a page that was since deleted due to community irrelevance.
  • George W. Bush had a page that was since deleted due to community irrelevance.
  • Barack Obama had a page that was since deleted due to community irrelevance (though there were a few classic Obama-related moments in YTP history, such as the glitched up M. Bison reacts video, these alone aren't enough).
  • Donald Trump still has a page because he has been a common YTP source since the beginning of his presidential campaign.
