There was an article under this name many years ago that was deleted. Assuming this is the same person, he has certainly become much more notable since then, but it is still not clear that notability has been established. This was suggested as a ProD and was rejected after having been endorsed by a second editor (neither of whom was me), and I feel that it should go to full AfD to settle the matter. It seems to me that WP:CREATIVE and WP:ENTERTAINER are not satisfied (except perhaps criterion 2 of WP:ENTERTAINER), and general notability criteria are probably not established either. It looks to me like all the references in the current article that would establish his notability apart from Cinemassacre Productions and their various "programs" are in non-notable sources.

 * Delete He isn't notable. The only bit of of notability is that he works with James Rolfe (filmmaker). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:7:A180:749:8046:508C:F45:5E11 (talk) 14:41, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect though I'm not sure which is the best target. The name is certainly a searchable term, but as noted, non-notable on his own and tied to Rolfe/AVGN/Cinemassacre. I just don't know which of those is the best target for this, likely Rolfe. --M ASEM (t) 16:05, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete He doesn't fit the Wikipedia definition of notable. TEH  ( talk  •  contributions ) 22:37, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cinemassacre Productions (where he works and is mentioned in the lede by name) as a worthwhile search term. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had only passing mentions in a video game reliable sources custom Google search—not enough to substantiate an article but redirects are cheap. Please ping me if more (non-English and offline) sources show in the future. czar ⨹   21:13, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
