Brian Hull (impressionist)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I was about to move the article to draft but I believe it should be deleted instead. The one source provided is the subject YouTube channel. Generally, the subject appears to be simply a YouTuber with a large number of subscribers. A Google search turns up lots of self-published sources but not much by way of reliable sources. This is why I think the article fails WP:GNG, WP:BASIC and WP:ENTERTAINER. Modussiccandi (talk) 17:59, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak delete Decent writeup in a local-distribution paper. Another California new piece there.  I've found a few pieces from Huffington Post, but they are very brief.  This piece from a newspaper in Kansas isn't really sigcov.  from the Today Show. Another brief piece. Gizmodo gives him a short write-up.  I'm finding some more similar short pieces (in fact, largely identical ones).  With only two decent sources available, and everything else not resembly WP:SIGCOV, I'm gonna say that WP:GNG is not met.  Since all the coverage seems related to one viral video, WP:BLP1E also likely applies.  Leaning delete on this one, unless another good source can be found.

 * Delete - Above, Hog Farm found some fairly useful but brief news coverage, but Mr. Hull is a hobbyist who does impressions in his own self-uploaded YouTube videos and picked up some online fans. Good for him but that does not equate to notability here. While this has been sorted to the Bands/Musicians page, the true WP guideline of interest is WP:ENTERTAINER and he has not met the requirements there.  ☆☆☆ DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 21:56, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: Barely found anything about him aside from his voice acting activities. Perhaps a WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 09:18, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete for now, or put it back in the userspace. Per Hog Farm there has been coverage of one viral video and future notability is likely possible, but we will have to wait. Spudlace (talk) 20:15, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
