New information since the deletion has come to light, diminishing the claim that there is no indication of importance as per A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. The subject of the wikipedia article has taken his performance from electronic media to the theatre stage[1]. This should serve as a credible claim of significance. Further, original deleter is no longer an active wikipedia user and unable to review decision. 203.6.176.27 (talk) 00:26, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Endorse. The correct link for the article in question appears to be Friendlyjordies. I don't see anything in the most recently deleted version which makes me think the WP:A7 was out of line. This is actually the second time this has been deleted under WP:A7, the first time being two years ago. And, I don't see anything in the proposed source which would satisfy WP:GNG. --RoySmith (talk) 01:14, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The links in the template were malformed; I tried to fix them.  Sandstein  09:03, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse. The article seemed to have been written more as a joke than anything else, so even if we were to say that A7 didn't apply it would still have been a valid G3 deletion. However the problem is that the article as it was written didn't really make any huge assertions of notability that would have made it too borderline to speedy. I did perform a search to see if he would merit an article, but the best stuff I found were this and this, which wouldn't be good enough to assert notability for him. He just appears to be a mildly popular YT performer that has done some performing off camera. The vast majority of YouTubers don't pass notability guidelines, honestly, and notability is so hard to prove for them that even PewDiePie's article kept getting deleted until only a few months before he became the most subscribed person on YT. It's just that hard. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:23, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse. Don't come back until you have third party coverage of the subject. Independent, non-promotional, and in a reliable source. Moshtix, a ticket selling site, doesn't do it. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 20:39, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse, looks like it would still be deletable under A7 if re-created. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:54, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
