Elliott Morgan[edit]

Biography of person who does not appear to meet notability criteria. There are two claims to importance: first, the person is a co-host for a YouTube channel called SourceFed, and second, he told the audience of this channel to vote for another co-host as a candidate for a contest in Maxim (magazine) which resulted in so many write-in votes that the magazine's website crashed. To my mind, neither of these claims of importance is an actual claim of notability. The YouTube channel has no article of its own, just a section (created recently by the author of this article) in another article.

Furthermore, there are no reliable sources, only self-published sources, YouTube links, and blogs (well, the Maxim magazine link is a reliable source, but that's a very trivial mention of the person.) bonadea contributions talk 18:04, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable - outside the sketchy Maxim reference, this has no reliable sources. The same could also be said for his co-host's article, Lee Newton. MikeWazowski (talk) 13:54, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note How can this also be said for Lee Newton. How is the 2012 Maxim crash sketchy? Its sketchy that a website crashed in 7 minutes due to the overwhelming amount of write-in votes for her? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soulboost (talk • contribs) 21:31, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable YouTube presenter. OK, perhaps minor note for allegedly occasioning the crash, but that's just one event WP:BLP1E. Peridon (talk) 10:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep 1 event? SourceFed crashed Maxim twice. Also I don't know how he can not be notable if 350,000+ people tune in and have seen Elliott and his co-host over 60 million times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soulboost (talk • contribs) 06:37, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Even if the site crash is a notable event (which I don't know whether or not it is - the website doesn't even have a Wikipedia article, only a section in the parent magazine's article, and I haven't seen the crash covered in any secondary sources), a) being one of the two people who asked people to vote which in turn led to the crash isn't necessarily a notable thing, and b) Morgan's role is not supported in the source. The Maxim source doesn't mention the crash, and there are no secondary sources at all about his role in the event as far as I understand. --bonadea contributions talk 14:00, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
