Questionable notability - almost entirely sourced to sources written by Linus Sebastian himself. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 15:45, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep at 2.7 million subscribers he's achieved notoriety. Curro2 (talk) 19:28, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete zero reliable source coverage. The number of subscribers has no bearing on notability. Curiocurio (talk) 21:04, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep an almost decade-long presence as one of Youtubes most identifiable technology faces. Although a number of the citations are video based, they cross over separate sources (these videos feature Sebastian but are interviews by independent sources). Citation also exists on 3rd party sites (LifeHacker, DailyDot, TubeFilter, NewEgg Unlocked, etc) which support the significance of Sebastian as a subject in the technology world. Citations created by Sebastian provided only to provide proof of his involvement in his own projects and not to demonstrate notability (and account for 6 out of 14 current citations only). Suggestion is to source further citations and build on the article. --Melonbob (talk) 04:36, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He is notable by the means of having a significant following and searching on him on the news section does get a bunch of articles out where his videos are referenced or discussed in magazines. A m i t 웃 02:30, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
