Thank you for nominating this article to GA. I see that you have worked hard on this article, but unfortunately, I will have to quickfail this article due to it not meeting the good article criteria, mostly criteria 2, "Verifiable with no original research". The article is well written, it's just the sources that make the article not comply with GA criteria. Once the issues are resolved, I do not see any problems with renominating. If you need help, I recommend utilizing WP:Peer review and referencing other Good Articles of similar subjects. And if you have questions, the WP:Teahouse is welcome to help you. Cheers!
 * The article contains a lot of original research, for example:
 * Marriott's first online works were cartoons and animations, is sourced to the original YouTube channel, and would require one to look elsewhere to find out if the information is true. The latter part of the sentence, using Microsoft Paint, clay figurines as well as Lego to portray storylines. is also unsourced.
 * He would later become friends with ImAllexx and host a weekly podcast, Camp Cast, with him which ended in 2019. Marriott would then become part of a YouTube group in 2020 with newly found friends and fellow creators called the Eboys with ImAllexx, WillNE and Memeulous, during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The group's content would consist of re-creations of TV shows like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, challenges and vlog-style videos. This part is sourced again to a primary source that requires one to look through the channel.
 * Most of the Social media section contain events with unknown notability. See Hbomberguy or Dream (YouTuber) as an example of an article that contains events that are notable (sourced to secondary sources).
 * The article uses a lot of primary sources, which should be switched to secondary when possible.
 * Some sources used are of questionable reliability, and should be switched to more reliable ones when possible or removed. See WP:RSP for a list of reliable and unreliable sources.
