I don't see how this person is notable. In the lead section it says "He is known for posting his thoughts on different subjects to YouTube with his own style of comedy and farce." I hardly think that justifies having a Wikipedia page. Pretty much all of the references are YouTube links and the NY TImes link just mention his name because he won a YouTube award, again, he shouldn't have a page because of this minor mention.

 * Delete I have already had to delete 3 of the sources in the lead, as the articles did not mention him. After searching for sources myself, I can only conclude the individual is not as independently notable as the article would try to have you believe.  It appears to be pretty much shameless promotion.  How it has lasted this long is beyond me.  Claims Youtube awards started in 2007, yet the article about the awards says 2006, etc. etc. etc.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 00:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete insufficiently notable. JJL (talk) 01:13, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Clearly a non-notable Youtube "celebrity" who lacks the required non-trivial coverage to warrant a WP:BLP article.  JBsupreme (talk) 02:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not sure really if one could become notable through posting videos on YouTube, but this guy surely hasn't — note that there are several non-YTube references, but they don't appear significant or reliable enough to confer notability. Nyttend (talk) 03:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unfortunately, Nyttend, you are wrong--just see Chris Crocker. But this person is not even Chris Crocker. Drmies (talk) 04:36, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Youtube views alone do not establish notability. Themfromspace (talk) 06:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO. If kept, most of the Youtube links will have to go as violations of WP:EL. Stifle (talk) 11:06, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Snowball delete not even close. No real sources. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:12, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
