Non-notable conspiracy theorist who makes silly YouTube videos. There is some minor newspaper coverage in unreliable tabloids about some of his controversial antics but nothing in detail so a biography can be established. WP:RS are lacking. Psychologist Guy ( talk) 20:07, 6 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Comment I wish we could get rid of this article about a little-known troll but you can't dismiss the current references as published in "unreliable tabloids". Sky News and BBC are perfectly respectable and even Metro (British newspaper) is not that bad. If we are going to delete, I think the argument has to be made on WP:NOTNEWS grounds and the lack of depth in the coverage (although the Metro piece is more than a passing mention).

Sorry you are right, I did not see it was BBC news, for some reason I thought it was the Daily Mail. My other concern is that I think this article is a WP:ONEEVENT issue. This guy basically trolled a vegan festival by eating raw pig head to invoke a reaction and obviously got his five minutes of fame but I do not see how a biography can be developed for this person beyond that incident. The reliable sourcing is lacking. Psychologist Guy ( talk) 21:21, 6 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete any resonable interpretation of GNG and oneevent rules leads to deleting this article. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 16:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete per WP:OUTCOMES, WP:MILL, WP:FRINGE, WP:SOAP, and WP:SIGCOV. We almost always delete YouTubers. Anyone with a iPhone and a personality can upload or download videos and call themselves a vlogger, but very few are notable. They are run of the mill. We are especially wary of people who try to use us, a charity, for their own agenda, whether a fringe theory or advocacy of an issue. Nobody would reasonably expect a person advocating such to interrupt a Girl Scout/Guides group's meeting to lecture them on their ideas; likewise, we are not a soapbox. The lack of significant, ongoing coverage about this person, as opposed to a single protest reported in a single news cycle, shows this person is not notable. She appears to be unwell. We are not a support group. Bearian ( talk) 14:53, 10 April 2020 (UTC) reply
