Corey James La Barrie

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Although some reliable sources are provided, I believe this subject is only famous for WP:ONEEVENT. The sources all focus on his death and it is doubtful whether he would have been notable before. In fact, a recent AfD resolved to delete the article of the somewhat prominent Brian Hull who has more than 2 Million subscribers. This subject had 300,000. Since Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS, this article should be deleted. Modussiccandi (talk) 23:02, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Corey La barrie was an amazing human being and his collab channel with his best friend Crawford Collins had 178000 subscribers as well as his own 392000 and is currently growing. His mother Lissa and his friends have worked hard, spending months making this Wikipedia page for him and taking it down is wrong and cruel. The comparison mentioned, Brian Hull, isn't verified either on any platform, whereas La Barrie is on youtube, Instagram, and tiktok. Corey was friends with many famous people publicly, and any KianandJc, Alex Wassabi, Tana Mongeau or Why Don't We fan would tell you they knew who Corey was. Brian Hull, however, is a voice impressionist and most of his fanbase are people who just enjoy his talent.


 * While I appreciate your effort to add an article to Wikipedia, we do have guidelines which determine whether a subject should be included. I believe Corey James La Barrie may not meet these guidelines. The fact that he had fans doesn't really matter as much here. Neither does the fact that he collaborated with well-known people since notability is generally WP:NOTINHERITED. My issue with the article is that all of the better sources you provided are motivated by his death. As I said in my above comment, Wikipedia is not a newspaper and people whose notability is confined to one single event aren't always suitable for inclusion. About the Brian Hull comparison: I brought it up not to say that Hull is subject to the same guideline. The reason I mentioned him is to show that Corey James La Barrie would not have been notable by our standards without the coverage of his death. This, I think, is a good sign of someone notable for just one event. Note that, when I say notable, I mean it in a sense restricted to Wikipedia and not to slight Corey's memory.
