Moses McCormick

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article was created in the immediate aftermath of the death of the subject, and Wikipedia is not a memorial (WP:MEMORIAL). The subject does not meet notability criteria. He was not widely known outside of his online followers, and his proficiency in most of the languages he spoke was quite basic. He did not contribute substantially to knowledge on how one can learn multiple languages. Hzae (talk) 14:56, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Users claiming there is or there is not GNG should more thoroughly explain why that is the case (by measuring the sources currently in the article; and additional ones if they can be found, with the usual requirements - i.e. WP:42).
 * Keep. Laoshu is a notable polyglot, has significant coverage, meets GNG, and is quite well-known in many ways. By the way, I am typically into academic linguistics and generally do not take many amateur polyglots on social media very seriously, but to me, Laoshu looks like he has made quite an impact on the online polyglot community and is worth including here. — Sago tree spirit  (talk) 17:57, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Moses McCormick meets notability criteria, he received significant coverage from independent secondary sources. He was wildly known in the language learning community and well beyond thanks to his unique style, method and personality. Clement75 13:09, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep: Per reasons above. The sources in the article (except Twitter) seem reliable. I also found a few more reliable sources which talk about him:, and . That said, the article is good enough to pass WP:GNG.  ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 10:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per . The article is still relatively new, but that doesn't mean it can't be developed over time. Snickers2686 (talk) 03:47, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
