YouTube personality WP:BLP article with no reliable secondary sources found. Tgeairn (talk) 20:09, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete All the sources that are on the page seem to be primary sources, especially a link to his Patreon (really, free advertising?). Not seeing anything outside these sources to show notability. RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:49, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I cleaned up the article and added some sources I could find. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 09:28, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete I myself am a fan of his YouTube videos but this article reads terribly, and his name just isn't out in the open - he's only known to the Internet community, for now this is his only claim to fame 172.56.20.240 (talk)
~~Keep~~ Weak Keep I further cleaned up the article and added information from a new interview. At this point I think this meets notability standards. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 13:15, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and maybe there should be a revote since this doesn't resemble anything like what the article used to be like. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 13:40, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He has over a million YouTube subs, and he is very well known on the internet besides YouTube, such as on Reddit. 24.224.195.254 (talk) 23:25, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - At this point, following the work of many, the article has 14 references. None of these individually or in combination meet WP:GNG or WP:WEBCRIT. Specifically: 1) Twitch is self-published content, 2) livecounts is routine reporting (at best, and the ref in the article is broken), 3) tubefilter is closest but does not meet either of WEBCRIT, 4) reddit AMA is not independent of the subject, 5) self-published, 6) upvotes on reddit are not notability, 7) passing quote, 8) article is not about the subject, 9) ???, 10) being nominated in a reddit contest is not notability, 11) about a debate, not about the subject, 12) about a debate, not about the subject, 13) statistical reporting does not confer notability, 14) Yes, another channel exists. --Tgeairn (talk) 00:40, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Even after a valiant cleanup, the article's subject does not have significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. (?) I verified the source review above, and the secondary sources listed (save for the Daily Dot) either do not discuss the subject in any depth or are unreliable for statements of fact. czar 23:27, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
