Not notable: clear case of BLP1E, in this case notable only because he died young. It is possible that the YouTube channel is notable by our standards (as low as they are for anything in the news), but this young boy is not. Drmies (talk) 23:21, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:BLP1E. Similar to Articles for deletion/Daniel Kyre, whose article was likewise created only after he died. Like Drmies says, his YouTube channel might be notable if it passes WP:WEBCRIT. clpo13(talk) 23:47, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as a pretty obvious BLP1E. I'm not convinced there's anything particularly remarkable about this death which merits an article. Robofish (talk) 00:31, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per WP:BLP1E. The only sources showing notability are obit articles mentioning that his death, but nothing outside of that. - Aoidh (talk) 02:55, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agreed.--Koppadasao (talk) 10:34, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - The channel has over 1.5 million subscribers, which is pretty big by YouTube standards. Maybe a merge or some sort of article, because the channel seems notable. Upjav (talk) 19:01, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator.-- Musa  Talk  00:57, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge A page should be written for the the Brataleys and his page should be merged into that one -- Masterknighted (talk) 04:25, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Can't really see what he has done to make him notable DrKilleMoff (talk) 13:27, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Exceedingly clear delete Nor do I find "YouTube channels" to be specifically "notable" under extant Wikipedia standards.  Collect (talk) 14:32, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails depth of coverage to meet GNG. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 16:09, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - per above, as well as per WP:MEMORIAL. --Booyahhayoob (talk) 20:42, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - He is not totally insignificant and his videos have at least several hundred thousand views. It's not insignificant. Foia req (talk) 06:17, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Pageviews are not a reliable metric for notability on Wikipedia, especially since the YouTube views can be bought. I'm not suggesting the views for this particular individual were bought, but data that can be manipulated so easily is not data that can be relied upon to show notability. - Aoidh (talk) 22:43, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per above, especially WP:NOTMEMORIAL: we are not a memorial website for young people who die suddenly. Also, "not totally insignificant" does not mean notable, and even if his family is notable he is not so. My sympathies to his family. Bearian (talk) 17:10, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per above - Millions upon millions of people die every day ... Not sure what makes this one so special (Sorry I don't mean this in a dickish way but can't really word it any nicer than that!). – Davey 2010 Talk 23:07, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
