Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had only passing mentions in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. There are no worthwhile redirect targets. Do note that most of the sources currently in the article are from unreliable sources. czar 06:25, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Hello I created this article, admittedly, and know little to nothing about the subject of video games. Are not Design & Trend, Christian Post, GoNintendo, and Tech Times reliable sources? Are they not indeed independent of the topic in question? They are somewhat passing mentions, in the respect that they are mentioned briefly in the articles, but the topic itself appears to be the cause of their discussion. I believe that an interview with Denis Dyack indeed makes the subject non-routine for a Youtuber. I'm not asking and stating these sarcastically either, this is my first deletion discussion, and I definitely want to become acclimated to the discussion environment here on Wikipedia.

 * In order to be considered notable according to Wikipedia's standards, you need third party sources about him, not third party sources citing him. If "Tech Times did a story about SuperMetalDave64, then that'd be valid. WP:VG/S has a list of sources to use and avoid. Pretty sure GoNintendo is one to avoid, FYI.

 * Oh, I see!!! This has been quite edifying, thank you for clarifying this, the notability guidelines on Wikipedia are more linked to availible information in fully reputible sources. That makes perfect sense. Sergecross73, NinjaRobotPirate, and Tokyogirl79. I do know that SuperMetaldave was linked to some some high profile leaks in and around December of last year involving NEOGAF, there may be some interesting coverage in there somewhere. I am too now, however, leaning towards deletion. This is more of draft material, rather than actual article material. My bad, again, thank you for giving a bit more insight into the inner workings on this site. Milo Yiannopoulos&#39; Hair (talk) 11:27, 16 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. He got mentioned in a few articles as a source, but there seems to be very little information about him.  Wikipedia isn't a who's who catalog where you get rewarded with an article once you quoted by a few news articles.  We would need in-depth coverage about the person himself, such as analysis of his skill as a journalist and reliability.  I don't see that.  One or two of the sources did look like maybe they would go that way, but they merely speculated on the reliability of his sources.  If someone can point out something that I missed, I'd be willing to change my vote. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:10, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - A few reliable sources using the subject as a source for rumors is not on the path to meeting the WP:GNG. Sergecross73   msg me  17:29, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't find anything that's actually about this person. He exists as a person and as a YT personality, but this does not automatically make someone notable, nor does the amount of video views or followers. It's insanely difficult for YT (or other social media) personalities to pass notability guidelines and there are thousands of people with far higher follow counts that fail notability guidelines. Heck, PewDiePie's article was repeatedly deleted until 2013, long after his follow counts went into the millions. It's just that hard to pass notability guidelines on Wikipedia.

 * SNOW Delete as still nothing at all minimally convincing for his own actual notability. SwisterTwister   talk  20:42, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
