 * Delete for now - My first two searches at Google News provided two news links here (for a comedy documentary he co-created) and here (event listing for Bamboozle appearance). His LinkedIn page lists him as an "entrepreneur" and listing him as a partner with New Hollywood Entertainment, a Google News search for this provided nothing but I did find this brief mention in another search and a page at the company's website. His LinkedIn page also lists him as a co-CEO and President of Affirm XL but searches for this provided nothing but social media. If the IMDb page listed is really his, there isn't much information there either (one minor role in a 2010 short and information about his parents). His LinkedIn page also lists him as receiving an "American Chemical Society" Scholarship which I found this confirming he was a research assistant. His LinkedIn page doesn't mention studying at Boston University but I also found this which lists a Chris Kanik as an ACS scholar at Boston Univ. I'm not an academic but this doesn't seem to be notable for a Wikipedia article to me, or notable as a comedian either. He has kept himself busy but he's not notable for Wikipedia at this time. As always, I have no prejudice towards userfying or a future article. SwisterTwister   talk  19:44, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Weak delete - being the president of a company leans to notability, but nothing else he's done (stand up comedy, commercials, etc.) has been talked about in reliable sources, just things like Facebook and Twitter. --24.145.65.56 (talk) 04:15, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
