While I'm a big fan, Gilbert doesn't meet our notability criteria for journalists or creative professionals. The coverage of him is largely trivial or tertiary coverage about his work. The work, which is humorous, does not make him an "important figure" in his field, nor is it widely cited by his peers. There's just not enough information on Gilbert, at this stage, for an article. Can (and should) be revisited a few years down the line. — ImaginesTigers (talk∙contribs) 15:22, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for responding. I disagree with these as indicating Gilbert's wider notability (which came up at the article's previous deletion.

NintendoWire is a fan-site with no consensus to allow biographical citations (but can be used for, say, reviews of games or gameplay).
My bad, disregard that one.

The AV Club is reliable, but their article is about one of his videos more than it is about him. If you have a look, it mentions that the video was co-created by Gilbert and his partner. It isn't about Gilbert—it’s about his video (which is, admittedly, pretty funny). You've also linked that article twice, so you may have mistakenly copy and pasted the article twice.
He's an artist / creative professional. Why would any media coverage not be about his art? As for that fourth source, my mistake, sorry. I had been meaning to link this

As for MXDWN, it’s a very small site that has never been asked about on
WP:RSN
.
Unsure why website largeness is reportedly a factor in a website being a reliable source. MXDWN has editorial oversight and is a secondary source independent of the subject.

That withstanding, I do still consider all of these to be primarily about his videos, even if they were good sources. — ImaginesTigers (talk∙contribs) 20:39, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, but I disagree. Can you link me to a wiki policy stating that sources partly about someone's work do not show notability? ^{if there is i'll change to support.} One could argue he is

directly and in detail". Additionally, as I said above and as Czar says below, nor are all of these reliable sources. The AV Club one, sure, but it’s actually trivial; in no way is that appropriate to source a BLP. — ImaginesTigers (talk∙contribs) 23:47, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply

Yeah, I've realized I'm in the wrong here. Sorry about my confusions, and thanks for helping me understand. I'll be sure to be more thorough in future AfC reviews. Voted for delete above.
