Keep, several articles showing coverage including Toronto Star, Newsweek, ABC, New Jersey, and CBS. They have over 6 million subscribers on YouTube. Also mentioned alongside other Youtubers in this NYT article. The article does need to be cleaned up, but they seem notable to me. Mukedits (talk) 22:10, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, only 5 or 6 of the 43 sources in the article come from first-hand YouTube. The rest come from third-party sources. The sources that are first-hand are used for simple factoids, such as Gasparini’s reunion with NELK, or significant portions of the “History” section that simply don’t have a third-party source. Yes, the article may need some work but bottom line they are certainly notable enough to have an article (over 6 million subscribers and one of the strongest fan bases as well).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Abobeck11 (talk • contribs) 04:26, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per both arguments on top. Every one of their videos reachs 1 million views, and they're always in the news for drinking in college parties, or for misdemeanors (disrupting peace, trespassing, etc). Additionally, they've received a lot of attention, most notably back in October 2020, when they've met President Donald Trump, via Dana White. I don't see why even nominate this page for deletion when it can be further improved. JayzBox (talk) 19:25, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
