Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
That should fine. Just remember that Creator pages don't get subpages (i.e. YMMV, Trivia, Funny, etc), unless they are used for works of their's that don't have their own pages yet.
(FYI, I don't check the channel myself)
We don't trope real people (troping their show persona is ok though). Can you come up with at least three trope examples from their fictional content? If so, then it should be fine.
But also see Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment.

Define "fictional" content.
I don't know about fictional, per se, but you need to trope things they do within the show itself.
As an off the cuff example, tropers on WebVideo.Game Grumps can trope anything they say or do in a given episode. They can not trope the games they play (except in how they relate to the Grumps' actions) and any tropes that might be used to apply to their personal lives outside the show or any controversies that might get stirred up are not allowed.

Any random Youtuber does not qualify for a Creator page.
- If the channel produces creative content, such as skits, documentaries, Let's Plays (with a particular style or persona), parodies, music videos, etc., then it can have an article in the appropriate namespace (Let's Play, Web Video, or Web Animation, depending on the type of content).
- If the channel is just vlogs, playthroughs, commentary, etc. without any particular original creative contribution, then it should not have a wiki article.
- Most Let's Plays are just a person on a webcam talking while playing a game. These have no significant creative components and are not tropable.
- The individual person(s) who own the channel or produce content for it could have Creator articles if they are noteworthy independently of the channel. An example could be acting in full-length works not produced by themselves. Otherwise there's not enough material to trope.
- Under no circumstances should a media article ever be about the person or persons producing the content. There must be enough tropes unique to the content to be worth having an article.
See Auto-Erotic Troping for why every Youtuber and web artist doesn't get their own article.

Can I provide some video links as examples of what this group does?
Please don't. I checked out the channel and it looks like they do indeed make creative content, like skits and parodies. So they can have an article, at WebVideo.RDC World 1. Remember that it needs to be about their work, not the people making it.

Hello,
There is this very amusing You Tube channel called RDC World 1. Would it be alright for me to create a creators page for them?
