Non-notable "Youtube celebrity". No references to substantiate the claim of notability. Zero hits at news.google.com, only 169 total hits for this supposed "celebrity". Apparently he's encouraging "fans" to write about him on Wikipedia. Corvus cornix 21:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't agree with you. He might not get that many hits at news.google.com or the sites you mentioned, but he's well known in the YouTube community. Ask anyone. He's especially known in the British youtube comunnity... he's on top when it comes to british vloggers especially. He also got featured recently. He met a lot of youtubers, including the YouTube living legend Geriatrics1927 (don't know the year for sure), charlieissocoollike and renetto. He went to the US this summer, and stayed with YouTubers mostly, for example Ian Crossland. He's a big time YouTuber. Anyhow, anyone who's involved in the community has at least heard of him, and many know at least a couple of his video's.

As for his latest video encouraging people to write on the wikipedia article, isn't wikipedia a encyclopedia where everyone can help write? I think he wanted to make his viewers aware of the wikipedia article, and encourage people to get involved with wikipedia! Isn't that a good thing?

Apart from YouTube, he's a stickam entertainer (the webite stickam.com). He does live shows, and his room is always full. He has been on the front page of Stickam.com on more than one occasion (closer to 10 actually).

He is a real internet celebrity and I am surprised people doubt if he's wikipedia-worthy.

(PS, My english might not be perfect, I'm from abroad.)


 * Please read WP:BIO and point to the sections of the guideline which he meets. Corvus cornix 22:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

-- Burntsauce, are you a YouTube User, and if you are, are you following the YouTube (british) community? And what about Stickam? He also has a radio show, although that's not internet, he is known.
 * Speedy delete under CSD A7. There are a number of worthwhile "Youtube celebrities", and this is not one of them. Burntsauce 22:51, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I offend you in any way, I'm not trying to. English is a bit hard for me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnonymousUser90 (talk • contribs) 23:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy deleteThere used to be a very apt article called "shoot on sight" which I can't find now, but I totally agree with.  It was by former General Counsel to the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. Brad Patrick.  It said that "draconic" measures are necessary to remove excessive vanity non-notable personal profile articles that threaten WP's credibility.  This is one such article.  Let's be draconic here.  OfficeGirl 23:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete. Yes, let's be draconian. Not notable. Realkyhick 00:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per CSD A7. Unfortunately, "big time YouTuber" is not one of the WP:BIO criteria. As for the YouTube video urging folks to come here, that's a clear violation of WP:MEAT and WP:COI. Caknuck 01:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete And watch the List of YouTube Celebrities page like hawks. i said 01:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
