apparently non-notable youtuber sourced to blackhat SEO fake news sites and otherwise non-rs. Can find little else in a search. Also worth noting the creator hijacked the article. Praxidicae (talk) 13:24, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete clearly non-notable. I couldn't find any good sources that could be used in an article. No prejudice to re-creation if any new sources pop up after deletion, but for now my opinion is pretty clear. TheAwesome Hwyh 16:28, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I couldn't find any significant coverage. A quick search for YouTubers by followers shows that to even be in the Top 100 would require 25 million: this vlogger has 1.7 million. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 16:33, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment to be fair, there's plenty of clearly notable YouTubers and channels not on that list (Linus Sebastian, Crash Course, Michael Stevens, and many others). TheAwesome Hwyh 16:40, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There just isn't enough actual media coverage to establish WP:GNG. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:37, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - vloggers are run of the mill, and anybody with a YouTube account can be one. This one seems to be very ordinary, and short of significant coverage about him. Bearian (talk) 18:54, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Do not Delete - number of YouTube followers should be looked at in context of the topic he speaks about i.e. Self Improvement. His channel has more followers than Rich Dad Channel (Robert Kiyosaki), London Real, Teal Swan, etc. which are all notable in this area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ezeekeh (talk • contribs) 01:41, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
