WP:BLP, dangerously close to tipping over into outright advertorial, of an actor, singer and YouTuber with not a shred of reliable source coverage to confer any notability for any of it — the referencing here is parked entirely on primary and unreliable sources. Also a conflict of interest, as the article was created by a user named "DarianOrlando8", a name also contained several times in the article as a collaborator (and likely relative) of the article subject. As always, a Wikipedia article is not something that a person is automatically entitled to have just because you can lean on primary source verification that they exist. Regardless of whether you're claiming notability as a musician, as an actor or as a YouTuber, reliable source coverage is always required — no number of singles or albums gives a no-sourcing-required freebie to a musician, no number of roles gives a no-sourcing-required freebie to an actor, and no number of followers on any social media platform gives a no-sourcing-required freebie to a social media personality. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when his notability and sourceability improve. Bearcat (talk) 03:00, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. He's got some coverage at CBC.ca, such as  and, but they're not very compelling (top ten lists, links to YouTube videos, etc).  I think it's probably too soon for an article yet.  Give it a few more months, and he'll probably be there.  I'm willing to reconsider if someone can find better sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:17, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
