I had double thoughts before finally agreeing that the notability of this article is very questionable. Firstly having many subscribers or views on YouTube doesnt credibly means the article is notable. There is nothing whatsoever credible about this article. There are some promotional contents in the article. For me, it doesnt meet WP:GNG, and such, I may decline in an AFC review. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 15:11, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep It looks like there are some decent references and he has over 2 million subscribers, but I think cleanup is needed to solidify notability here. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 15:28, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Amassing a large number of YouTube subscribers is not a criteria of finding how notable a YouTuber is. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 10:13, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- How common is it to have that amount of subscribers? I suppose some of the subscriber numbers could be inflated. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 21:30, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify Frankly, article looks like promotional content and should be wholly rewritten. I do also have some doubts about notability of the individual, but, given the followers count, I guess it could fit WP:GNG or WP:ENT Vorann Gencov (talk) 14:32, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with the decision that the count of followers of a particular YouTuber can help meet WP:ENT. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 21:21, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Sources 7-8 are interviews, so primary. Source 9 is a photo essay, 10 is a PR item. 12 and 13 appear brief photo essays. I can only find similar things, this [https://www.news9live.com/state/karnataka/karnataka-vlogger-dr-bro-kannada-speaks-to-somalian-pirate-2313620, where he interviews someone. Not much of any real coverage in RS, nothing we can use to build an article. Oaktree b (talk) 01:20, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Otherwise, his youtube channel, a video about having a viral video... The Asian Newstable doesn't seem like a RS. I'm not sure there are any sources we can use in the article. Oaktree b (talk) 01:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete notability of the youtuber is not granted by the sources (mainly interviews or not reliable media). LusikSnusik (talk) 10:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete / Draftify at most. news18.com seems to be the only source that may have some sort of reliability. The other sources do not seem to be independent, reliable sources. Prof.PMarini (talk) 07:41, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
