Article is ostensibly about the YouTube channel created by this person, as none of the actual BLP-related content is actually sourced. The sources include a couple of local newspaper articles about him visiting a school, one article about the channel, and another in which it is listed among several others. No substantive coverage of the subject of the article himself is found. Kinu ^t/_c 10:36, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The article is also being edited by User:PaulBarbato in an apparently autobiographical manner. --Kinu ^t/_c 10:51, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kinu, Either the account is Paul himself, or it is just a fan who wanted to write the article so badly. Koridas (Speak) 00:30, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not enough coverage on the host himself. Non-YT sources are local coverage about the channel with merely passing mentions about him, not meeting WP:GNG. Willsome429 (say hey or see my edits!) 13:24, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Absolutely filled with primary sources. 4 of the sources are from the subjects own YouTube channel. The 5th and 6th source do mention him, but are passing mentions as it only talks about the GeograBee and not Paul himself. The 7th and 8th source only has one paragraph about him, so it is a passing mention. Koridas (Speak) 00:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
