Steve Cash
Just like any other kind of celebrity (musician, actor, TV personality, whatever), a YouTube personality needs to meet our notability rules. That is, he's not automatically notable just because he exists — he becomes notable when you can add reliable media sources which demonstrate that he's garnered actual media coverage from actual media outlets independent of himself. If you can add real references indicating that Steve Cash has actually gotten covered by media (magazines, newspapers, radio, TV, etc.) other than his own web page, then he can have an article. That doesn't have to be big mainstream media, because even fairly small newspapers can be valid sources, and he doesn't actually have to be as famous as Céline Dion, because I've written plenty of articles about people who are nowhere near that stratum of fame — but there has to be media coverage of some kind, because that's how we determine whether a person is notable enough to be on here (and whether the information in the article is accurate or not.) And it's also not enough to say that media coverage exists if you didn't actually reference it in the article, either — you need to actually cite the media coverage as a reference.

In a nutshell, it's not a comment on him as a person — the article, as written, just didn't properly explain how he might be notable enough to be kept. Hope that helps a bit. Bearcat (talk) 04:02, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
