This recently deceased person fails multiple checks for notability. He was part of a Youtube comedy trio Cyndago that was not notable, and he was associated with a notable youtuber Markiplier. This notability cannot be inherited either. He fails even the musician notability requirements. WP:BASIC WP:BAND WP:ORGSIG He is only known for his suicide that led into a recent disbandment of that comedy trio. WP:SINGLEEVENT Furthermore, this article is very heavily relying on primary sources that are not independent from this person, or from his friends.

Comment: 260,000+ subscribed youtube channel is not notable? 68.113.249.38 (talk) 21:19, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly it is not. Notability means a different thing in Wikipedia. See: WP:GNG. Briefly said, the major issue here is the serious lack of any third-party sources on Cyndago. If I could have found at least a few of them, I might have just proposed renaming this article to Cyndago. In my opinion most of the information about him belongs to Markiplier's article. These guidelines are related: WP:WEBCRIT and WP:NOTNEWS. Has any newspaper ever covered them? Have they ever won an award? Do any interviews exist?

Delete WP:WEBCRIT, that was what I was looking for when I was told he has "sufficient notability" to pass WP:ENT. — Wylie pedia 07:41, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Is it better now with some more reliable articles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.252.127.229 (talk) 12:58, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So you replaced the Facebook source with another that has nothing on it but the entire Facebook post? — Wylie pedia 13:48, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - sadly, it seems he is more notable for his death than for what he did prior. It's also clear that he and Cyndago can't inherit notability from Markiplier. That doesn't leave much. clpo13_(talk) 22:49, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
