Fails to establish notability under WP:GNG. Even ignoring his recent work (a channel with 4.5m subscribers failing to get 100k views per video, and his last upload was 5 months ago), the article made it clear for almost 2 years that there's a lack of secondary sources in the article, and the lack of a biography, personal life, or even the bare minimum acknowledgement of his pedophilia scandal indicates that there's very few reputable secondary sources covering him, thus failing the notability guideline.

 * Delete: I've thought about nominating this article for deletion before, mostly because of the lack of secondary coverage. Idiosincrático (talk) 09:03, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete YouTuber, undersourced. Fails WP:GNG. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:56, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Source 4 is a list and brief coverage, rest aren't RS. Coverage seems to be about him messaging fans that were underage and an "I'm sorry" video that fell flat with the public. I'm not sure either of these makes this individual notable. Oaktree b (talk) 14:19, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep - Initially was on the Delete side, but came across several sources that may prove notability. First, I found a scholarly source that analyzes his controversy - looking at the abstract alone it seems he is the primary topic. Second off, I do see some newspapers that also write about him significantly, such as this News Letter article and the already cited Derry Journal and Derry Now pieces. Finally, The Sunday Times listicle is a pretty solid claim of importance, and is over 100 words, making it a bit more than trivial. I think this in total should be enough to pass WP:BASIC.

 * Delete Even taking into account the source mentioned above, the use of it will be problematic. He hasn't been convicted of any crime, hasn't even been charged with one, and to the best of my knowledge hasn't even had a formal police complaint made against him. So any use of that source for in-depth coverage of the allegations causes WP:UNDUE and, if we're saying that source makes him notable, WP:BLP1E and WP:CRIMINAL problems, as if the majority of the article is about things he's never been charged or convicted of there's problems.
