Speedy deletion nomination of SkyDoesMinecraft


A tag has been placed on SkyDoesMinecraft requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Page deletion
I thought I'd explain why the page was deleted. Ultimately it was because I couldn't see where SkyDoesMinecraft passes notability guidelines. He's certainly popular (WP:ITSPOPULAR), but I didn't see where he'd received any coverage in independent and reliable sources per WP:RS. Saying that other people are on Wikipedia (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) isn't really an argument for inclusion since some of the performers have received coverage enough to warrant an article whereas others might actually fail notability guidelines but just not been put up for deletion yet. (The article for Markiplier actually is pretty spotty when it comes to sourcing, so I'm surprised that it hasn't been nominated for deletion yet based on those sources- that's kind of the unintended side effect of pointing out other articles since it can end up that some of the other pages get deleted as a result.) If you can find coverage then that'd help argue towards notability and I'd be willing to re-create this and put it through AfD, but offhand I don't see where he passes notability guidelines.
