Deji (YouTuber)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A non notable Internet personality, musician & boxer who falls short of WP:MUSICBIO, WP:GNG & WP:BASIC. He seems to be related to a notable person but per WP:NOTINHERITED that doesn’t count. A before I conducted shows subject is not notable. Celestina007 (talk) 20:06, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. There are not enough secondary sources out there to justify a separate article at this time; some of the sources in the article are actually duplicates.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 21:24, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Note to closer - There is also a draft, Draft:Deji (YouTuber). If this article is kept, the draft should be merged with the article.  If the article is deleted, the closer should decide whether to keep the draft or delete the draft.  Robert McClenon (talk) 05:06, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, this guy has clearly received coverage from reliable sources. He has received coverage for the time his dog attacked a woman, as can be seen here:, as well as the source already in the article. He has also received coverage for a dispute he was involved in with his brother, as can be seen here: and for his involvement in the undercard of the KSI vs. Logan Paul match, as can be seen here: .

 * , You need to familiarize yourself with WP:GNG. Now tell me how does one reliable source discussing the death oh his dog satisfy “in-depth significant coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject”?? Furthermore please do show me a Notability policy or guideline in which subject of our discussion qualifies & warrants a stand alone article for him. Please kindly provide the policy that he satisfies. Further how does a dispute with his bother reported by unereliable sources that lack editorial oversight & self generated sources prove subject of our discussion is notable? Celestina007 (talk) 12:09, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Per WP:RSP The Daily Dot is considered a reliable source for matters of Internet culture, which the sources provided are clearly about. Clearly the BBC source provides significant coverage of him, which is literally the thing a pass of GNG is fundamentally based off. Also, considering the article is not even about the “death” of his dog, I am forced to wonder if you have even read it or performed a BEFORE search. Per WP:THREE, I am of course not providing every single piece of coverage on this person that exists. Devonian Wombat (talk) 13:16, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

*Keep per improvements: The Draft:Deji (YouTuber) seems to be of better quality than the current article, I think they should defo be merged and with the information both on the draft and current page, it'll meet the gng guidelines, reliable sources are included in both of them. Mr. Apollo (talk to me bebe) 01:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC) *Weak Keep per the rationale provided by Mr Apollo and Robert Mcclenon.- An@ss_koko(speak up) 10:09, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - he has 8 million subscribers, but the coverage is decidedly weak considering his popularity. Maybe WP:TOOSOON. Bearian (talk) 00:56, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - Like many YouTubers, he is basically famous for being famous and does not satisfy general notability or any other sort of biographical notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:00, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - striking out !vote by a, a confirmed sockpuppet of .Celestina007 (talk) 10:53, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete how many more times do we need to go through this? Articles for deletion/Comedy Shorts Gamer, Oladeji Olatunji? Praxidicae (talk) 16:47, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Also I'm not sure any of the keep voters understand our sourcing requirements, especially for BLPs or they haven't bothered to actually look at the sources. I've removed several that are completely unreliable and we're left with 0 sources that establish notability. Praxidicae (talk) 16:53, 25 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Even if the info in the draft is merged into this article, I would still consider it for deletion per WP:GNG. Much of the coverage on Deji consists of negative YouTube drama, and even though he is popular on YouTube, it doesn't take away the fact that he really isn't notable for doing anything else.  Sekyaw  (talk)  08:08, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources don’t actually give significant coverage on Deji himself, just events he’s been involved with. – 2 . O . Boxing  11:14, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
