Fails to meet any WP:GNG in my opinion. As a YouTuber the person has 16K subscribers. The sources are mostly blogs or primary. The few others seem to be passing mentions. SVTCobra 03:17, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article was in a rotten state and the sources were poor. I'm added multiple sources from national newspapers that have a focus on Bratchpiece as an individual performer and performing with others. With the previous level of focus on YouTube within the article I expected it might have been created when that was the route to some fame in 2007. I was surprised to see the article had only been started in 2016 as there are multiple sources to show that at this point he had been involved in stand up. Several sources describe his act with father and brother as Scotland's only stand up comedian family. He has been involved with quite a bit of writing since 2013. I think as one of the first viral internet comedy video sensations in Scotland that managed to still be writing and performing comedy 14 years later, I think he has made a fairly unique contribution, thus passing WP:ENTERTAINER. I think the article should be moved to Neil Bratchpiece over the redirect as the Wee Man was only one comedy persona. Drchriswilliams (talk) 15:29, 23 December 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Comment In light of the fact that Neil Bratchpiece has a career that is not solely tied to The Wee Man character, I do agree he meets notability guidelines for entertainers. You may consider this deletion request effectively withdrawn. I thank Drchriswilliams for improving the article and agree it should be moved to Neil Bratchpiece.
