Monetization diabled 6 weeks after community guidelines strike?

On 6 October a video of mine was removed and I got a community guideline strike. Today - 6 weeks later - monetization was suspended for my channel with no info given about the specific reason.

I have not received any other strikes since the strike mentioned above. Does that mean my strike from 6 October was the reason? Is such a long delay between a strike and the monetization suspension normal?

Also, is it normal to have monetization suspended from your channel after one strike?

I've not heard of that happening before for a whole channel, but it sounds like a possibility that a YouTube moderator reviewed your channel and decided that your videos aren't suitable for monetization and advertisers for whatever reason? How many videos do you have, I see one on your channel linked to your YTTalk profile?
 
In their email they said: "We have suspended monetization on your channel EVIL Humor for non-compliance with our Partner Program Policies. This may include community guidelines violations and/or copyright issues on your live or deleted videos".

There is indeed only one video on my channel at the moment, but I haven't been informed if there's anything wrong with that video or if it was my previous video that has been removed and has brought me the strike 6 weeks ago.
 
Without knowing anything about the video removed, it's hard for us to say what happened, but, considering the sole video you have up now is nothing more than an edited live video from someone else, I'm tempted to side with YouTube here.

I mainly want to know if a situation like that is normal (monetization suspended 6 weeks after the strike) or if I should search for the reason elsewhere.

You're implying it's a copyright issue but the list of copyright notifications is empty for me (youtube.com/my_videos_copyright).

I'm not implying it's copyright issues at all.

I simply pointed out that there are plenty of potential copyright issues with the only video you have posted right now and, since you don't seem to have any issues posting such, it wouldn't surprise me if the problems were caused by other copyright issues or some other unscrupulous activity.

You've received it twice now.

The point remains that you clearly posted something you weren't supposed to, received a strike for it, and have since suffered further repercussions.

Whether the full suspension was attributed to that, the current video you have up, or something else you have done is irrelevant as they're all in violation of copyright and against the rules.

As the original video has since been deleted, (youtube.com/my_videos_copyright) should be empty now.

Typically, it requires 3 strikes to have your monetization suspended, but they likely either received complaints or found something themselves while reviewing your strike that they found was in non-compliance with their Partner Program Policies.

Since you're a small channel and haven't had more than 15,000 viewed hours in the past 90 days, YouTube won't help or assist you further.

This was my line of thought, it's a channel credibility issue.

If you only have a couple of videos up and not many views, and one of them received a strike already then it's kind of defining your channel as a problem channel as there is nothing else to go on.

If you had a channel with say 50 videos and only one or two were a problem then it'd be a different situation.
 
YouTube disable monetization when they want to, and have been doing it more and more often.

Channels that aren't advertiser friendly will have some videos disabled from monetization, (they don't tell you when it happens, you just have to check your videos and make sure ads are displaying) or have their entire channels banned from monetization, even without copyright issues. A lot of it's automated, and it's a pain to fix -- even for big channels.
