 * Delete. Does not have significant coverage in independent reliable sources, therefore does not meet WP:GNG. Can't see the old version of the article, but there's a chance it could be speedy deleted under WP:CSD. Jenks24 (talk) 12:00, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This article was tagged for speedy deletion under G4 criteria.See this revision .But the sysop Malik Shabazz declined the speedy deletion, that's why it has come to AFD. Max Viwe &#124;  Viwe The Max  17:31, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Too many details and well written, that's why. 107.16.78.114 (talk) 22:48, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, I should have checked the history first. Thanks, Jenks24 (talk) 14:08, 20 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep I think the article meets the criteria for WP:ARTIST, particularly point 1. I can't agree with the statement "having a channel on Youtube does not makes it notable." This actually isn't the point I'm making. I have added another reference (http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/8435627/loosest-aussie-bloke-ever-wins-online-fame) which I feel is further support of notability, from an independent news source. If the community feels this work has not made considerable impact, I would suggest this is inconsistent with the treatment of ZDoggMD. This artist has less than one tenth of the video views than the artist in question, and less than one sixteenth of the subscribers. I appreciate these statistics aren't criteria specifically listed in the Wiki guidelines, but surely from a discretionary point of view cannot be ignored by the community.Straphanger510 (talk) 21:46, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Straphanger510, if you can't agree that "having a channel on Youtube does not make it notable", please look at Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. Notability is established by significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and having a Youtube channel does not demonstrate that. Note also that notability is completely separate from popularity: the fact that many people have watched his videos does not help us write a good Wikipedia article — that's what independent sources are needed for.
