Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nordan Shat

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's

talk page or in a deletion review

). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The consensus is that this individual does not meet the notability guidelines for a stand-alone article. As there is no mention of Shat in the FaZe Clan article beyond in a list of managers (none of whom have articles), a redirect would not seem to be appropriate at this time.

• Keep The article should be kept because it has relevant information both about Shat himself, and the clan he is part of. As mentioned above, the article could be lacking some information, to some extent. But if we look at it from that perspective, many pages like this such as: CaptainSparklez should also be reviewed. Nordan is the largest figure in the Call of Duty sniping community and has grown his two channels combined larger than the clan he is part of.

• The main problem is that the article currently fails
  has no bearing on this particular article, it just means they may need to be deleted or redirected as well. Sergecross73 msg me 13:56, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Keep Subscribers are enough to show notability. I don't think it needs to be deleted.--Musa Talk  09:40, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• "Youtube subscribers" is not a valid criteria for notability on Wikipedia. Please read the

• Redirect/merge with
  Shawn in Montreal. Subscriber count alone is not enough to show notability, secondary sources independent of the subject commenting on his subscriber count could be. Cannolis (talk) 15:14, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Redirect - He fails the
  reliable source dedicated directly around the subject. His group has its own article though, so it could be a viable search term. Sergecross73 msg me 13:53, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Delete or redirect. Being popular doesn't automatically mean a person should have their own Wikipedia article. Maybe in the future, when
  untill that time, an article is not needed. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 10:49, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Delete. No matter how popular a YouTuber might be, the notability standards for YouTubers require
  reliable source coverage about them — no YouTuber ever gets an automatic "because they have X number of subscribers" freebie, if RS coverage in media is not present to support an article. But there's exactly zero RS coverage shown here. Bearcat (talk) 00:54, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply
