Keep: His YouTube channels have more than 4 million subscribers.-- Dewritech (talk) 09:48, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- This is not a valid argument for keeping. He could have 1 billion subscribers, but still not meet ]

- WP:ENT does not state that social media followers should be considered as a factor. It states that he needs to have significant roles in films and TV. If you want to consider Youtube as some kind of TV channel, then still he would need to have lot's of news coverage about his roles and he doesn't. Social media followers could be fake and bought, so it is not a reliable factor. Peter303x (talk) 08:46, 12 June 2021 (UTC)]
- @Peter303x: Please read my first comment above, I believe you should be more active on more AfDs, such as this, apparently people believe if the article has a huge fan base then it's considered as notable. I actually refer to an article as "it" while you refer as "he", consider your POV. Mjbmr (talk) 10:33, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Weak Keep nearly 4 million subscribers on his main channel should constitute a "large fan base or a significant "cult" following" to satisfy
WP:ENT
. However, the sources do need some cleanup

In summary, despite a significant fanbase, there haven't been many sources to satisfy GNG besides local news coverage, but the coverage does go beyond
WP:ROUTINE in my opinion, so it just barely passes. Note I have since removed the Daily Star and Metro sources as they're uncontroversially unreliable. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:47, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

- Most of the sources are self-published or PR and do not satisfy WP:ORGIND. GermanKity (talk) 04:21, 29 May 2021 (UTC)]

- Delete Sources do not have in-depth coverage and there is not that many sources. Peter303x (talk) 23:09, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- Strong Keep Per above, per ]
- Delete. Fails WP:NOTNEWS. The sources are human interest puff pieces, and are mainly local news. There's not enough here to warrant an encyclopedia entry.4meter4 (talk) 13:19, 12 June 2021 (UTC)]
