While this individual may be a popular gaming YouTuber, there is no secondary coverage, so it fails WP:GNG. Hemiauchenia (talk) 14:34, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Comment - I've added some secondary coverage, though I'm unsure of whether spieletipps.de is a suitable RS. Based on this edit summary, the article seems to have been created as a birthday gift. It reads rather fancrufty, and every other source besides the ones I added are primary and non-RS CiphriusKane (talk) 17:27, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Some stuff he has done seems to have gained attention on YouTube, like his Steam Summer Sale stuff and his promotion of the Community tab, but I can't find any reliable english-language secondary sourcing. Hemiauchenia (talk) 17:40, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The language of the source is irrelevant really, as long as it's significant and reliable coverage, and the Humankind article definitely is provided spieletipps is considered RS. Most of the media attraction seems to be German, though I did have to filter an English-language source due to search result pollution (TSB got mentioned in a headline, and so every page on the site which linked to the news story got into the results), may have to check that site again, see if I can filter the pollution Cleared pollution, naething worthwhile CiphriusKane (talk) 18:21, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah OFC it doesn't matter what language the coverage is in, but it's difficult to assess the reliability of foreign language publications, there are plenty of junk-level gaming sourcing in English and I presume the same is true for German. Hemiauchenia (talk) 18:26, 11 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - The majority of the secondary coverage is either the same press release about a Cities Skyline tournament or articles about his videos. While the use of Discord and Twitter as sources may be fine as per WP:ABOUTSELF, basing the article around such sources is bad. We could maybe swap out a spieletipps source with another to show multiple sources cover TSB, but I doubt it'd improve the article or help further claims of notability. This may very well be a case of WP:TOOSOON though, as there is some minor notability here, so maybe draftifying would be a better option? CiphriusKane (talk) 19:47, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * While Swinxy has added a few more sources, only Der Standard is really of any use. The Esports News source looks like a press release which literally just namedrops (but at least confirms something about TSB), and the AltChar source is a literal namedrop that just says TSB would have enjoyed a game before going into how bug-ridden the game was. So we've got 2 outlets (Der Standard and Spieletipps) providing some form of SIGCOV. As such, I'm still saying it's too little to establish notability at this time CiphriusKane (talk) 11:34, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * There was very little about him I could find (I even went to page 2 of google!), and the article is just bone-dry. I agree that the article may be WP:TOOSOON. SWinxy (talk) 22:37, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Could be relevant but article must be improved. GamedevExpert (Talk to GamedevExpert) 5:19, 23 August 2021 (UTC) Striking sockpuppet !vote. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Tentative delete based on CiphriusKane's analysis. Most sources currently used are either primary or unreliable (maybe with the exception of Der Standard) and I cannot immediately find reliable sources that discuss the person in detail as to satisfy SIGCOV.
