Reason: Doubtful relevance / no relevance shown in the article: According to subscribers not even among the top 100 or 300 (place 307), subscribers or views are not a hard criterion for relevance anyway. The article is almost entirely covered by YouTube and Twitter. There is no external representation. The broad, long-lasting media reporting, which according to WP: RK # A is generally required for relevance, is certainly not proven . Lately only a few tabloids, which, among other things, try to use his mother's accidental death for clicks. In addition, the language of the article is very poor and much of it is a translation from English. (This is not a reason for deleting, but a general note.) In addition, some of the content in the article is factually incorrect. Apart from a few small reports, the Google search didn't reveal much either. Broad reporting failed. - ExtremPilotHD ( discussion ) 07:05, 19 Aug 2020 (CEST)

Life

Roman Atwood was born in Millersport, Ohio to Susan Anne Christman and Curtis Dale Atwood II. Roman has always been interested in filming and producing videos, and he was already producing videos in high school. After his school career, he worked in his parents' rope factory and took on simple activities there. This led to Roman becoming increasingly dissatisfied with his life and finally decided to concentrate on his YouTube career.

Before he was successful on YouTube, he had already published other projects, including on YouTube. Roman Atwood's first notable production was a series called “The Nerd Herd”, a Jackass-inspired series of stunts and sketches. After that Roman founded the project called “Sketch Empire” together with his friend Jon, but these videos were never particularly successful and at some point they were discontinued and deleted.

At the age of 18, he married Shanna Riley, his first wife, with whom he had their first son, Noah Vaughn Atwood (born October 18, 2004). However, in 2008 he divorced Shanna after cheating on him with a friend while he was on a business trip. The divorce officially took place in 2010. After divorcing his ex-wife, he met Brittney Smith. She is the sister of Veronica Gilroy, the wife of Chase Gilroy, who was Roman Atwood's best friend at the time. With her he had their first child together in 2011, Kane Alexander Atwood (born October 23, 2011). That was around the time he made his breakthrough on YouTube with his prank videos. As he gained notoriety on YouTube, he made his "Smile More" motto a brand and started his own merchandising company. He sold T-shirts and similar merchandise from the living room at home.

With the success of his two YouTube channels and his own company, Roman has decided to move to a larger house in Thornville, Ohio , with his girlfriend and son . He lives there with his family and numerous pets, such as his husky “Flash”, his cats “Tux & Nitro” or his donkey “Empire”. You became known through his vlogs and can be seen regularly in them, alongside his family and co-workers.

In 2017 he had his third child Cora Atwood (born July 16, 2017), about a year later he married his girlfriend Brittney on Maui , after proposing to her on vacation together.

On May 29, 2019, Roman's mother, Susan Atwood, was killed in an accident while on a family vacation. Roman announced this via Twitter. After the accident, he continued to produce videos and was active on social media, but since early 2020 Roman and his family have disappeared from all social media without a trace.

It was not until July 7, 2020 that he returned via Twitter and announced a return. In what form and when this return would take place is not yet known.

Career

Pranks

This cooperation was awarded the title of the best “Brand Campaign” of the fifth Streamy Awards .

Vlogs

In addition to his prank videos, Roman Atwood has gained popularity through his vlog channel RomanAtwoodVlogs.

The goal was always to publish vlogs daily and the longest series in which he succeeded lasted 449 days.

His vlogs were known to be very familiar as his entire family played a huge role in his vlogs. But his pets and other people who were often at home were also featured in the video.

Legal cases

Due to the legal dispute, Noah had to be kept out of his father's videos, which caused various hashtags such as #FreeMyNinjaNoah. Roman Atwood won the custody case and Noah has continued to be part of his vlogs ever since.
