 * Hello. Thanks for your comments, but I would love to understand this a bit more. The subject is definitely notable, as they both have a large following and have had a lot of press published about them by major publishers. I only included the top tier publications as I thought that was a pre-requisite, but there are also several other publications that have written about them as well. In addition, I thought I wrote the piece in a very neutral tone, and it definitely isn't promotional. I am simply an artist that has followed their socials for a long time and was suprized they didn't already have a wiki entry given how much press they have received recently about the Banksy NFT they made. I also reviewed other wiki pages of similar social media companies like unilad and worldstarhiphop and made sure I wrote mine in a similar style. In any case, I have obviously spent quite a bit of time researching it and getting all the references correct, so I would appreciate the opportunity to further work on it rather than the article being deleted.

 * Delete Per nom; insufficient WP:SIGCOV in reliable sources; most of the sources are press releases or passing mentions. Created by single-purpose account who's first 10 edits were pointless edits to get autoconfirm status and all subsequent edits have been to promote things related to a company that it trying to associate itself with Banksy.

 * Keep With respect, it is unfair to say that my first edits were 'pointless'. I was new to Wikipedia, and making small, grammatical and punctuation changes is how you start to learn the platform. I have subsequently made several, larger edits to improve Wikipedia and am continuing to learn how the various Talk Pages and other resources operate on this platform. Finally, I am not trying to promote anything. I follow the account on social media and noticed they didn't have a wiki page while other similar businesses like worldstarhiphop does, so I thought I would make one.

 * Delete as WP:ORG. I've been unable to verify the "most watched video creator across the globe" claim at Tubular Labs as their stat archives only go back a few months, unable to verify the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity award as the link is dead, and after finding that the "No. 3 globally in the Top Media & Entertainment Properties" source was actually talking about LADbible it becomes apparent that... all the claims being made about GLOSS, and most of the article content (even the April 3 date of foundation) are just copied from Wikipedia's LADbible article. I've removed all the awards and history copied from LADbible. It's possible the hoax goes further and "media company Gloss" and "NFT website GLOSS" are not the same organisation, the only reliable source about the Banksy artwork stunt does not explicitly link it to a particular company website or NFT auction site. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:20, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:PROMO, a self-serving promotional article.  HighKing++ 15:01, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
