Fails WP:GNG, sourcing insufficient to demonstrate notability. The idea that playing Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto V may make you notable is a charming conceit, but it's not backed by WP:SIGCOV in RSes. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:13, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete It does have a piece of SIGCOV in Polygon, but I couldn't really find anything else of note. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:53, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete  non notable, only hits on .ca websites are Alexa Answers, then pintrest and other non-RS. Oaktree b (talk) 15:37, 29 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep: In addition to Zxcvbnm's source above, I found a NYT article that features him enough to consider it significant coverage as well. . Between the Polygon article above, this NYT article, and a scattering of small amounts of coverage in Dot Esports (a reliable source per WP:VG/RS) with an example here ), I'd say he passes WP:THREE to meet GNG, but barely.

 * Delete per Zxcvbnm. There is some coverage, but it doesn't hit the threshold of WP:SIGCOV. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:11, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I added sources Nomader gave. Hurricane BP Member (talk) 05:05, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough reliable sources to prove notability. Promotional in tone and contains mainly primary sources, blogs or news releases. and the Verge source makes no mention of the subject at all. (The article is also terribly written.) sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  17:25, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete - simply not finding enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG. Onel 5969  TT me 18:43, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Still fails notability. GlatorNator (talk) 23:24, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
