He appears to have a lot of YouTube subscribers, but there's no inherent notability in that if he does not have significant coverage from reliable sources. I can't find the coverage to meet WP:GNG. Perhaps there are some Polish language sources that someone may be able to find. Tchaliburton (talk) 23:24, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

 * I don't know enough about this site to say if it's a reliable source of info. Maybe someone can offer some insight. We'll need more than one reference, but this may be a start. Tchaliburton (talk) 23:30, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment - I don't believe any of those above would be considered reliable sources. See reliable sources to see what one is like conceptually, or WP:VG/S for a list of commonly acceptable/unacceptable sources for video game articles. Sergecross73   msg me  14:11, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, see the current state of Szymon Kasprzyk. — Peter238 (v̥ɪˑzɪʔ mɑˑɪ̯ tˢʰoˑk̚ pʰɛˑɪ̯d̥ʒ̊) 15:43, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Youtube videos are not the way to establish notability. See my links above. You want articles that discuss the article's subject with significant detail. See WP:GNG for more information. Sergecross73   msg me  15:52, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * http://gazetasredzka.pl/aktualnosci/isamuxpompa-ma-190-tys-widzow-sredzianin-zdobywa-widzow,a23974c this does discuss article's subject with significant detail. — Peter238 (v̥ɪˑzɪʔ mɑˑɪ̯ tˢʰoˑk̚ pʰɛˑɪ̯d̥ʒ̊) 16:03, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I cannot read that, so you'll have to tell me yourself if it meets WP:RS criteria. Is this a website with a long history of fact checking, editorial oversight, and established staff with credentials as writers? Or is this random content blogged by any old random person, for starters. Sergecross73   msg me  16:23, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Gazeta Średzka can be translated to 'Newspaper of Środa Wielkopolska'. It is a local newspaper. According to Polish Wikipedia, it has been released since 1995. Here's a photography of the printed version of Gazeta Średzka: http://www.wojtektattoo.pl/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/press002.jpg. I am not the author of it. — Peter238 (v̥ɪˑzɪʔ mɑˑɪ̯ tˢʰoˑk̚ pʰɛˑɪ̯d̥ʒ̊) 16:30, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

According to WorldCat, has an ISSN (1425-4034) and is in the holdings of the Polish National Library. The claim in the article is that "Today [it] is the top 40 most visited channels on YouTube" ("Dzisiaj jest w TOP 40 najchętniej odwiedzanych kanałów na YouTubie") that is verified by YouTube Top 100 Most Subscribed Poland Channels List and has risen to 20th. Nevertheless, Kasprzyk is not found in the Polish Wikipedia. —BoBoMisiu (talk) 17:54, 10 December 2014 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Comment While WP@en is not limited to resources in English, topics with no coverage in English-language sources seem outside the scope. I don't understand why it isn't sufficient to have this article in the Polish language WP. LaMona (talk) 03:17, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I disagree that the scope of en.wikipedia is defined by reliable English language RSes. The guideline that is applicable here is WP:N. The question is whether this topic meets GNG. There does seem to be evidence that some borderline RSes (local papers) exist. But if the only coverage these papers give to Kasprzyk is his placement as #27 in a list of top 100 Polish YouTubers then that can't confer notability. The Gazeta Średzka source may be acceptable as an RS and it does look like it does give the topic significant coverage. But we need "reliable sources" in the plural to confer notability - that's a minimum of 2 RSes that cover the topic in depth. And even with 2 we're on very shaky ground because if there is no way the article can ever progress past stub-class then it's usually a better idea to merge it with a more appropriate parent topic. -Thibbs (talk) 18:27, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. "the local newspaper for the Środa Wielkopolska County" is about as minor as you can get when it comes to mainstream-type press. Seeing as this is the only reliable source on the subject, it's pretty clear he fails the "Significant coverage" requirements. A short entry in a very, very local newspaper is not "Significant coverage". PS. This article was speedy deleted from pl wiki without even an AfD, as an admin just tagged it as "unencyclopedic" --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:13, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: If the guy's so insignificant in Poland that the Polish Wikipedia speedied him, then he's not notable enough for here.  Nha Trang  Allons! 20:09, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
