Fails WP:GNG, WP:NBIO. No major reliable sources from Google. Most references do not cover this subject in depth: more pertinent to Smiling Friends than for a stand-alone article. ‒ overthrows 21:00, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Keep? Did you also make sure to check sources under his YouTube alias "psychicpebbles"? The subject was originally both a Newgrounds and YouTube animator, and under his name, I saw that his videos received coverage in The Daily Dot and Kotaku; the former talking about his popular KONY 2012 video and the latter about his animated video on the Arrow in the knee meme. That should just barely cross the threshold for notability under WP:WEB, along with his contributions to Smiling Friends. Also, I'm not entirely sure of the reliability of Legit.ng, but at a glance I saw it was used in over 500 articles, one of which was a Good Article. If it's a reliable outlet, then I would use this source. PantheonRadiance (talk) 19:04, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. I would also be for keeping. He has more than 1 million subscribers, not mentioning his contributions to Smiling Friends. The video Arrow in the knee, which he animated, has been viewed over 20 million times... I would say, in his field he is well known. Tec Tom (talk) 16:15, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Notability is there, though more borderline in this case, and more sources exist as pointed out above. Sro23 (talk) 00:37, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
