A ten-year-old with a Instagram account. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 23:38, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep This ten year old has made national news. He mets the notability standards and has had ample major newspapers interview him. cbratbyrudd ( π, ν ) 23:57, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep He may be a 10 year old, but the sourcing is adequate to meet WP:BASIC. PohranicniStraze (talk) 15:56, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The sourcing is hardly adequate, and it tends toward the dangerous promotionalism of children with no respect for children that is becoming all too common. None of it adds up to the indepth reliable source coverage we need to demand of every article on someone below the age of 12.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:13, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep The article obviously lists some sources that are questionable for establishing notability, and the language and claims seem likely to be contested. Neither of those are good reasons to delete the article. Even ignoring the references that are from unreliable sources or are merely aggregated social media posts, there remains significant coverage of subject in multiple reliable independent secondary sources. Not all social media attention translates into mainstream media attention. This time it did. Passes WP:BASIC. Sources cover multiple events, so no WP:BLP1E problem, either.

 * Keep - Meets WP:NBIO in that he has received substantial coverage in reliable, independent sources. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:51, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, mostly per Bakazaka. It's true that he's "a ten year old with an Instagram account," but the article contains multiple reliable, independent sources that provide significant coverage. Meets WP:GNG and WP:NBIO.-- SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 22:59, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
