 * Delete. The article identifies Evans as a "singer, songwriter and YouTube personality".  I have followed Evans and his ex-wife, Colleen Ballinger, closely since 2009 because of my interest in her career.  I believe that Evans's entertainment career is based almost entirely on his association with his ex-wife, with whom he toured briefly.  He has performed on a cruise ship and with a non-notable "boy group", but he has never recorded or released any music.  He is *not* a songwriter; he does not write, and has not written, songs. As a "YouTube personality", Social Blade ranks him 18,969th among YouTubers and 2,128th by number of subscriptions.  Like thousands of other people, he has monetized his YouTube vlogs, but I do not believe that it makes him notable. -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:04, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete A WP:BEFORE suggests the only sources available are tabloids and blogs. The only WP:RS to provide coverage (e.g. NYT NYT, Independent) are only passing mentions of him, always in the context of hs (ex)wife, and mostly regarding their divorce. If that was a claim to notability, we'd all be notable :)  &mdash;  O Fortuna!   Imperatrix mundi.  14:11, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above. No objection to a new article if he becomes notable later, but based on what we have now? Nope. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 16:34, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
