The records website RecordSetter.com lacks credibility since there is no oversight or check of the records submitted to it - see this discussion at the Reliable Sources noticeboard. It follows that a person whose only claim to notability is that he has a large number of records listed on that website does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria - and Wikipedia should not make the claim that he "holds 2,400 records", since the only thing that's known is that he has submitted 2,400 records to RecordSetter.com. I have found this Huff Post source mentioning him, but that's not significant coverage. bonadea contributions talk 14:47, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete It is truly wonderful (and a bit disturbing) that someone is trying to set a record for "Most bites taken from three apples whilst juggling", but Pankey's claim doesn't appear to hold up. The word record seems to belong to a Michael Goudeau. Fortunately, these antics have attracted no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, so Wikipedia can be spared an article about these trivialities.

 * Delete: No evidence of notability. BTW, I just marked all the dead links in the article. Guess what remained: his YouTube channel. --Guy Macon (talk) 15:51, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: I agree with the above assessments. Additionally, the only thing I can find that is close to being notable is his appearance on "Stupid Human Tricks" on the old Letterman show and being briefly seen on America's Got Talent. While he is mentioned in an article on | Juggle.org, he is not the focus, merely mentioned in passing. Ceronomus (talk) 05:53, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment – I found some sources that provide coverage about the subject. The first one listed below provides significant coverage, the second provides 2 paragraphs, and there's also some short articles about the subject. North America1000 03:04, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
