Marked for puffrey and questionable notability for almost two years without any improvement. All the cited sources range from questionable to outright unreliable (detailed source analysis down below). No other significant coverage of the subject can be found, probably fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Tutwakhamoe ( talk) 03:45, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Comment The article cited a lot of sources, but all of them (except two) can be classified into the following categories:
- Promotional: 1 is just a collection of the subject's quotes; 6 does not sound too objective in the overview of the subject's life so far; and 25 literally included a link to the merchandise of the subject's documentary;
- Trivial Mentions: 11 of the total 29 sources are focus on the subject's products or projects instead of himself, and only mentioned or quoted him for once or twice. They are: 2, 4, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 19, 21, 22 and 23;
- No Mentions: 6 of the total 29 sources made no mentions of the subject. They are: 3, 8, 11, 12, 27 and 28;
- Not Sigcov/Unreliable: 5 is an interview, therefore primary source; 7 has a clip of supposedly the youth of the subject starting in 5:28, but with nothing to identify which of the child shown was the subject; 16 is literally a link to merchandise store; and 29 is a playlist of videos made by the subject;
- Defunct: Sites that weren't even archived, like 18, 20 and 24;
There are only two citations worth discussing: 17, where the subject's work was shown winning the Best Feature Documentary of Film Fest Philadelphia 19 Audience Awards, an award whose notability I can't be sure of; and 26, where a news agency have a profolio of the subject as an employee. Even then, neither of the two sources could support the mass amount of content in the article. Tutwakhamoe ( talk) 03:46, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Courcelles ( talk) 14:55, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. fails WP:PROMO and not enough WP:SIGCOV for it to be an article. -- Wesoree ( talk· contribs) 16:51, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
