Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/B. Scott

Do Not Delete: B.Scott is making revolutionary moves within the entertainment industry by using YouTube as a mechanism to change the life of his fans by sharing his own experiences and advice. He is a noted entertainment host and has been featured for entertainment contributions in national publications (See, Clik magazine this month) for a recent view. As a gay entertainer, B.Scott is not only notable but he is necessary. Just because he has not been relevant for you, does not mean his is not relevant to the world. Check your sources.

Summary
This discussion generated a lot of valuable context that can be used to revise WP:N. I encourage those who made valid keep arguments about youtube status being important to please take this issue up at the appropriate venue (village pump or WT:NN?). But as for this AfD, there was clear consensus for delete, once the SPA and devalued comments were duly ignored. JERRY talk contribs 20:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
