Regardless of Gilbert's talent or his notoriety within a small cross-section of the Internet, there aren't enough reliable secondary sources to justify this article's existence at present. The only source not produced and published by Gilbert or Polygon is this Buzzfeed listicle, which is largely a collection of screenshots and other images. I couldn't find any coverage about him from any vaguely reliable tech news sites (excluding Polygon, of course). Jc86035 (talk) 10:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Sources related to his work: The Verge (Stranger Things), Tor.com (Skyrim), Comicbook.com (Skyrim), Comicbook.com (Pokémon), Game Rant (Skyrim), Game Rant (Pokémon). I don't know if these establish notability, because they aren't about Gilbert himself and are really more like announcements than reviews of Gilbert's work. The latter five links are related to his work as an employee of Polygon. Jc86035 (talk) 10:50, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete If there was more coverage along the lines of the Verge I might feel different but judging him by the standards that I would a YouTuber, he lacks notability and coverage from reliable sources. I could see in a year or so an argument made under some amalgamation of his work which falls under NENT but for now just not seeing it. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:33, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete seems to be a case of WP:TOOSOON for a writer who does not yet meet WP:CREATIVE or WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:38, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - does not meet WP:BASIC (has not "received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" - does not meet WP:ANYBIO (has not "received a well-known and significant award or honor" or "made a widely recognized contribution") - therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 00:36, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
