Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ian Carter (entertainer)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Consensus is that the subject does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards. Of note is that cursory source searches demonstrate that iDubbbzTV also does not appear to have received any significant coverage (e.g. Gnews search, Gbooks search, Highbeam search),  so a page move to this name is not warranted at this time.

BLP of a YouTube content creator. While the YouTube channel iDubbbzTV has a lot of subscribers and views, there is actually very little written about it in reliable sources, and even less about its creator. None of the sources currently in the article mentions his name at all, and they all fall into one of three categories: a) trivial mentions of iDubbbzTV, b) primary sources for iDubbbzTV, or c) sources not mentioning iDubbbzTV or Carter at all. When I searched for more sources per WP:BEFORE I did find this which seems to confirm Carter's name and connection to the channel, but that's not a reliable source and it's certainly not significant coverage of him. bonadea contributions talk 15:14, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Move to iDubbbzTV or something and remove the BLP content. I think the channel is big enough to warrant an entertainment page, but I fully agree that Carter himself is not independently notable. Jergling (talk) 15:35, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete It unfortunately does not matter how 'big' a channel is, (even on YouTube itself the subscriber metric is largely considered unreliable,) there really isn't enough evidence of outside notability for edups or his channel to warrant an article at this point.

 * Delete per WP:PROMO; a self-cited vanity page. No indications of notability or significance. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:32, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
