Same rationale as original XfD by which closed as a WP:SOFTDELETE and then undeleted per a request at WP:REFUND.

"WP:BLP of a comedian, whose claim of notability ("youngest comedian headliner") is not supported by the sources. Of the four "references" here, one is a primary source copy of a commercial he was in (not a notability-assisting source), one is a mere photograph of him and two other people on a user-generated PR site, and two are to the webpages of local TV stations' morning shows which fail to link to any actual content about the subject. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this, but exactly zero of the sources here right now are helping him get notable under either our notability standards for comedians or WP:GNG." --  Dane talk  20:46, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment: Since I was the nominator the first time, and my nomination statement has been copied verbatim here, I'm not going to make a formal deletion argument because that feels too close to the spirit, if not the letter, of our rule against "voting" twice in a consensus discussion — but I do still want to note that this hasn't been upgraded with a stronger claim of encyclopedic notability or any improved reliable sourcing at all. It's also worth mentioning that the undeletion request at WP:REFUND didn't actually include a reason why undeletion was warranted — I'll grant that since nobody actually participated in the original discussion and thus it closed as a soft delete it wasn't unreasonable to just proceed with the request anyway, but a strong case for the article's keepability still hasn't actually been made anywhere. Also the creator is an WP:SPA who has never contributed to Wikipedia on any other topic but this, so there's the possibility of a direct conflict of interest.

 * Delete per nom, the only claim to notability is unfounded. Ifnord (talk) 18:38, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
