Non-notable Internet personality. Creator of the article seems to be confusing two people with the same name Jack1956 (talk) 23:46, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Delete as nominator. While it may be the same person, his activities are not notable. Add the tons of sources you say exist and I'll look at the nomination again. Jack1956 (talk) 23:34, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - No, i am not, its the same person, we have already concluded that! Whee did you get that i am confusing them, please? Its obvious that its only one person, as there are no other informations for that "second" one. You have obviously opened this request with a wrong idea, so you should close or withdraw this request. This person is an actor, director, lead singer, so, please, do not push removal of this article without reason. Article was just created, so, there are still a lot more to be added! Person is more then notable, with tons of sources about him! -- Ąnαșταη  ( ταlκ )  23:16, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * You should not add your "Delete" here, you are nominator, and nomination is your voice. -- Ąnαșταη  ( ταlκ )  23:35, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Delete. I think Evans is a nice guy and a good singer, but he has not satisfied the criteria of WP:ENT. Note that the confusion about about two people is my fault; Jack1956 must have picked up my earlier edit summary. Ąnαșταη is correct that Evans was connected with "New Stage" and "Take the Stage". My apologies to Jack and all. Nevertheless, here are the reasons why I do not think that Evans is currently notable (he may become notable in the future): Per WP:ENT, Evans is not notable because he (1) has not had significant roles in multiple 'notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; (2) does not have a large enough fan base or a significant "cult" following on YouTube to bring him even into the top 2,500 YouTubers; and (3) has not made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. The fact is that Evans scratched out a living for several years with a variety of singing, acting and modelling jobs – cruise ships, tours, advertising and online hosing/directing, without landing any important roles in major theatre productions, television or film. He has never won, or been nominated for, a major singing or acting award, has not been signed by a record label and has not released any music albums. His YouTube music videos have achieved very modest viewership. He left The Cat's Pajamas in 2014 to move to Los Angeles, where he has currently abandoned acting to focus on building his YouTube channel, at which he is making some progress, and to support his fiance's very successful YouTube and touring comedy career. It is possible that Evans will become notable in his on right in the future, but he is not there yet. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:30, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * "New Stage" was a web parody of tv talent contests filmed in less than a month in September 2011. The series' website is dead. It does not appear to have attracted a significant audience, and I have not found any press reviews of the series.
 * "Take the Stage" was an unscripted web talent contest. It does not appear to have attracted a significant audience, and I have not found any press reviews of the series.
 * Evans' a capella boy band The Cat’s Pajamas is not notable per WP:MUSIC.
 * Evans performed on cruise ships as part of the entertainment. This does not satisfy WP:ENT.
 * Evans toured in a touring production of the Off-Broadway show Altar Boyz. This does not satisfy WP:ENT.
 * Here is what Evans says about Your Chance to Dance -- his group was only in one episode.
 * Evans' YouTube channel is currently providing him with his income. It is not one of the top 2,500 YouTube channels by number of subscribers, and is not one of the top 8,000 by number of views.
 * Evans' most prominent national press coverage has been about his engagement to Colleen Ballinger.

Delete -- Per ENT, this seems ridiculous in keeping. Non-notable and certainly not worthy of keeping.  Cassianto Talk   05:28, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Delete, per the above: there isn't anything notable at the moment: that may change in future, but there isn't enough there just yet. - SchroCat (talk) 10:52, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
