Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. No reliable sources listed other than YouTube and Twitter - both of which are not reliable. Only sources I could possibly find were the two articles by Forbes, which talks about another YouTube channel covering the similar subjects (and not reliable anyway due to WP:FORBESCON). No luck searching up his real name either. theinstantmatrix (talk) 13:59, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I've seen similar discussions like this before (if I remember, the Canadian politics YouTuber J. J. McCullough is salted at every possible spelling of his name due to repeated creation) in which super fans have been able to make a rather lengthy video off WP:PRIMARY sources such as Q&A sessions and tweets. The only non-social sources I can find are the Gamer and History Net, of which I have no idea of the quality of the source. Amazingly, the second page of results of his real name instead yields "Griffin Johnson", who is apparently a TikTok star. There is no bias against "new media" in Wikipedia's guidelines, as we can find a million sources for PewDiePie or KSI, but not this guy. Unknown Temptation (talk) 14:42, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is supposed to be built on sources about a person, not a close watching of their youtube channel.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:59, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
