Subject of the article fails WP:GNG. I can't find the significant coverages in multiple independent reliable sources to establish his notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a social media. The subject of the article may be notable on YouTube but fails our notability criteria. Wikigyt@lk to M£ 07:50, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nominator. Article's sources are largely YouTube postings. Except for the one from TheNetWorth.com, for which note the legal disclaimer at the bottom of its page -- "We don't guarantee accuracy ...". NewYorkActuary (talk) 04:42, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete/Merge to subsection on the KSI article (apologies to him). KSI has 10 million subs, this guy has 5 million subscribers - but only one passing mention on Google News - fails google test. The news media hates youtube personalities (Felix Kjellberg was given an "X" in Variety magazine etc) because youtube personalities are taking their audience and revenue. Seems like he spends most of his time making money on youtube without ever talking to journalists. If information about him gets published in reliable secondary sources that aren't financially linked to him (or just promotional outlets) then it would be worth an article on him, but until then, should just be deleted, and maybe a line on him in the KSI article. -- Callinus (talk) 12:54, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
