I have been looking for sources for this article a few months ago, and I skimmed through all the articles about him. I didn't find him notable then, and I do not think he is notable now. wumbolo ^^^ 16:35, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Of the 15 sources on the article, 9 are from Youtube or Twitch, 2 are from speedrun sites which confirm the existence of his speedruns but give no indication of notability above any other speedrunner, 2 relate only to his academic work, not the thing he's supposedly notable for (and are definitely not enough for WP:NACADEMICS). This leaves only the two Kotaku articles as anything close to establishing notability. Even so, they aren't really significant enough coverage for WP:GNG. They're about Super Mario Maker and speedrunning, not about Carlsagan42. Searching around yields a few other similar references, but nothing that convinces me of notability.

Delete. The only sources that are relevant are the Kotaku ones, and they just mention him in passing. RoseCherry64 (talk) 16:52, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I found a mention of him on the Nerdist website but even though the article had a video of his, it was about the mod he was playing through - not one he designed - and the article was not about him specifically. There is also an entry for him at Wikidata that should probably go if the decision is made to delete him here. LovelyLillith (talk) 00:28, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
