This page was tagged CSD G7 by an IP editor and the page creator protested, asking for it to be taken to AFD instead so I'm obliging them. I don't think this article has WP:SIGCOV for this person though I think that is common with streamers, especially the numerous teenage streamers. He is mentioned as being a "rapper" but there is no information in the article about any music produced or released by him so I guess he is an amateur rapper. This article probably should have started as a Draft and gone through AFC review but here we are. Liz Read! Talk! 00:04, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't object to Draftifying. As long as it is in main space, I think it'll be tagged for speedy deletion. Liz Read! Talk! 23:41, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I knew this article was going to go to AFD as I was creating it—pretty much every article about a YouTuber/streamer does.


 * Unfortunately, this YouTuber is definitely notable, he's all over YouTube right now. The thing is that there's just not a whole lot of coverage. There certainly are several articles about his Twitch ban as well as very minor coverage of his song and the biography article, I'm just not sure if it's sufficient enough. Some of the Twitch ban articles I found do talk about him a little though, outside the main coverage of the incident. This probably isn't a good rationale for keeping this but I'm sure he's going to get much more popular than he is right now and will likely get more coverage.


 * Anyhow, I feel like what's in the article right now is just enough to at least warrant a weak keep. Waddles 🗩 🖉 03:16, 13 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. Uses KnowYourMeme and a really obscure website, namely Mixedarticle, as sources, with the former being marked as an unreliable source (per WP:KNOWYOURMEME) and the latter appearing to be bot-generated. In fact, Mixedarticle claims that he has a daughter, despite him being a minor, which is enough to render the source unreliable. Fails WP:NBIO. Jurta talk 10:55, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The Mixedarticle source is obviously of extremely low quality and unusable for an article, but it should be noted that it's quite possible (and common) for children to be born to teenage parents. jp×g 20:14, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, not sure what I was thinking when I said that. Jurta talk 10:30, 14 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Draftify All YouTuber/Influencer articles should go through AfC. I can see this being notable in the future when there would be better sources but it’s not ready to be an article right now. SK2242 (talk) 20:27, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Numerous hits, in non-notable sources. Clickbait type stuff. No reliable sources found. Oaktree b (talk) 00:07, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Draftify While obviously failing GNG at the moment, he is a very popular figure right now, and so I think it's better to draftify in case he does pass it in the relative future. Pladica (talk) 04:24, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete / Draftify per above consensus. Sources currently found on the subject are non-notable and unreliable. Being popular recently doesn't guarantee media coverage or instant article creation. Sparkl (talk) 19:00, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
