Reasons for opposing the deletion of article "Frank Cooper" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewethanchowtoy (talk • contribs) 21:52, 10 October 2016 (UTC) It has been suggested that "Frank Cooper" is irrelevant and this page should be removed. I disagree with this due to the fact that he is a very important and significant figure for the hobby NERF, where he promotes the hobby to new viewers. NERF is in turn a very important hobby/brand/toy because many kids play with them, and NERF blasters draw in an estimated $400 US million dollars a year.

In conclusion, while he does not have as many views or subscribers as some channels, he is still significant because of his promotion for the hobby NERF. I feel this page should stay up.

Any more comments/questions may be posted in this talk page or on my talk page. Regards,Matthewethanchowtoy (talk) 21:51, 10 October 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewethanchowtoy (talk • contribs)
 * Delete From WP:INHERIT:
 * Inherited notability is the idea that something qualifies for an article merely because it was associated with some other, legitimately notable subjects. This is usually phrased as "____ is notable, because it is associated with Important Subject."
 * So Frank Cooper is notable because he is associated with NERF? I do not think that is sufficient justification for keeping the page. Cheers Comatmebro  User talk:Comatmebro 22:35, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

But NERF is one of the largest toy brands in the world right now. Matthewethanchowtoy (talk) 22:43, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Additionally, he has most surely caused more sales in this hobby, he has created many viral videos. NERF is significant again because it is one of the largest toy brands in the world, and contributes vastly to the global toy market. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewethanchowtoy (talk • contribs) 22:47, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as failing the General notability guideline, as summarized in the "Golden rule". I have found no significant coverage of this person in any reliable, independent sources. It is apparent that the article creator has an interest in this subject, but notability requires evidence that sources with a reputation for accuracy and editorial judgement have already given attention to a subject. Until then, it is TOO SOON for a Wikipedia article. --Animalparty! (talk) 23:48, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
