 * Keep While much is local, there is a lot of local, plus there are other sources outside his backyard. This one passes the bar of WP:GNG.  Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 13:19, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete After looking further, I've changed my mind. There's no reason the article needs to be deleted (it likely passes WP:GNG), but there's also no good reason to keep it. Being a "Youtube celebrity" means his entire public profile is self-promotional in nature, and I don't see any way to repair this article to get around that. Power~enwiki (talk) 22:37, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * If he passes WP:GNG, we don't discriminate because his "public profile is self-promotional". The same could be said of many notable, and much more notable persons.  Most public figures are first and foremost into promoting their own image, be it Beyonce or Neil deGrasse Tyson.  Go to their websites, they self-promotional.  This is smaller scale, but the same effect, so the question is whether or not you pass WP:GNG and nothing else.  Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 23:37, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * If somebody can improve the article quality, I might support keeping the article. The original author is the person who created the AfD and clearly won't repair the article going forward. Power~enwiki (talk) 01:07, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * That isn't the standard for keeping or deleting an article, GNG is. See WP:PROBLEM, under "arguments to avoid at AFD".  Most articles are improved by persons other than the original creator, and there is no deadline. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 08:46, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * He meets "being the subject of at least two articles in legitimate media sources", but it's almost impossible to say whether any specific article is promotional or a "human interest story" in nature. I dislike every possible option for this article at this time. Power~enwiki (talk) 06:08, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I really do understand . Often, I have to hold my nose when doing the proper thing but whether I'm acting as editor or admin, it is important to put my personal feelings aside and judge each situation fairly using the same criteria I would if I loved the content.  This isn't always easy, but it is the goal for the encyclopedia.  Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 01:13, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep GNG met. Pretty straightforward. Exemplo347 (talk) 10:17, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Again I state my Keep vote, as there are many good references in the article, and outside of it. Some work needs to be done on the article, but this article has a ton of WP:Potential. Jamesjpk (talk) 01:12, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Duplicate iVote struck. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:19, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Not a duplicate because as Mjbmr states, "NOTE: for two above votes [my vote was in the two above] no reasons given, not qualified." I relisted my vote, to be qualified, and to restate my vote.


 * Keep While many references are local, if the argument to delete is his level of notability be aware that his fan base is reasonably international.YangTegap (talk) 22:36, 30 May 2017 (UTC)YangTegap
 * Keep per Dennis Brown; it's perhaps an unfortunate reflection upon what can be conseidered newsworthy today, but the coverage allows him to pass WP:ANYBIO. &mdash;  O Fortuna   semper crescis, aut decrescis  14:05, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
