Doesn't look like much notable. Most of the sources are cited from YouTube. Just because he convinced an actor to recite tweets doesn't mean he is notable. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Sincerely,    Masum Reza ☎  10:18, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * delete sourcing is considerably weaker than it looks at first glance. Not all of the links are to WP:RS, and many are less than they appear.  The first source, for example, is the New York Times, but it is a brief story about his brother's wedding.  I thought the article in Salon looked promising, it's something, I suppose, but it's not much Matt Oswalt for the win: Patton's brother was the comedian you needed to follow during #GOPDebate.  He does have an impressive # of Twitter followers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:22, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Just because his brother is notable, doesn't mean he is notable too. As per WP:NFRIENDS, Wikipedia doesn't care how many followers you have. Sincerely,    Masum Reza ☎  09:30, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
