Non-notable YouTube channel. Significant coverage not found. This article was also previously deleted via WP:PROD. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 01:53, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Keep I don't agree that this is a "not-notable" YouTube channel. Trap Nation is: the flagship channel for The Nations Network; has over 21,000,000 YouTube Subscribers; is the 29th most subscribed YouTube channel (or thereabout). As I quote, "Trap Nation has and still is YouTube's number one source of unique & diverse electronic, future bass, and trap music." If you're looking for media coverage, this Google search results page shows that there are 10+ pages of recognised media articles on the channel: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Trap+Nation%22&tbm=nws&sa=X.

• Keep - I also don't agree that this is a "non-notable" YouTube channel. As a (popular) YouTube channel that features music and also hosts events, it's difficult to examine the notability within an existing criteria. That said, I am confortable to say that it meets our WP:GNG, with articles like this from Billboard, that are written independent of and mention the subject (as their number one choice, in that case). --HunterM267 ^talk 05:28, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

I fail to see how anyone can possibly claim that "Trap Nation" fails notability, hence I'd consider a Speedy Keep.
