An edit-warring which involved many users (but not me) is ongoing in this article over whether it should exist individually or as a redirect. The arguments of the users reverting to a redirect are that the subject is not notable separately from Smosh. Bringing it here, since without a careful AfD consideration the edit-warring will last forever. Ymblanter (talk) 08:52, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep as Padilla easily passes WP:GNG. In regards to Smosh, he is no longer related with them nor their companies and is a solo individual. Handoto (talk) 21:07, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm sure he is notable enough for his own page at this point. He's been of public I treat for a while. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.134.14 (talk) 22:30, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Smosh. Just because he is no longer associated with Smosh, does not mean he is individually notable and passes WP:GNG. All of his major film works were associated with Smosh and/or Smosh co-founder Ian Hecox. Any recent coverage about Padilla are about him in relation to Smosh. He has simply done nothing notable outside of Smosh.  Sekyaw  (talk)  20:02, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep he's certainly a notable individual and while a lot of news coverage is him related with Smosh news, not all of it is. With Smosh going through all the recent changes, I can see why more recent news about him is smosh-realted. His work with Angry Birds and collaborations with notable creators is a great example of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.139.232.233 (talk) 00:04, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect - No notability outside the duo, despite the SPA "Keep" !votes above. Sekyaw's analysis is spot on.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:04, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
