Keep He is notable for being the breakout character of that series, and as a result, has developed a secondary career in making paid public appearances, and has appeared in other media, including merchandising and an episode of the TV show iCarly. This easily qualifies him for notability. I've added five secondary sources to the article to support the breakout character issue, in addition to the other couple of secondary sources that were already in the article. In addition, he does indeed have a large fan base or a significant "cult" following, as his merchandise regularly outsells that of the other characters on the show, which satisfies Criterion #2 under WP:ENTERTAINER.

Keep per Nightscream. He's gotten plenty of press coverage, like this article today, which devotes several paragraphs to him. Is this you, Old Man? Clarityfiend (talk) 03:39, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Looks like pretty solid referencing. I wouldn't have thought there would be all that much to say about him, but it's a decent article. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:00, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
