As with most twelve-year-olds, there's no sign of substantial coverage in reliable sources sufficient to pass WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. Although the article asserts that he is "widely known", he would appear to be simply a run-of-the-mill child. Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 03:02, 4 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Biographical article of a child with zero good sources cited. Content and deletion policy is a lot stronger in this area, and the burden of showing sources a lot more immediate. Delete. Uncle G ( talk) 03:23, 4 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Agreed, if you search up his name, almost nothing comes up except for his Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.208.49.2 ( talk) 12:46, 4 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Delete This child is simply not notable. The claim is made that he wrote a book but it has no ISBN number. No significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 15:52, 4 April 2021 (UTC) reply
• Delete -- I have grave doubts whether any 12-year-old would be notable, except possibly a king. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:28, 4 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Delete For the reasons already stated. I partially suspect that the Little Dany Roark article may be a Wikipedia Conflict of Interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Landino1 ( talk • contribs)
• Delete. Absolutely nothing here is a reliable source that indicates notability. Apparently he wrote a self-published e-book. According to a Facebook page, he is associated with a gospel band that does not have an article of its own, which includes his father who, according to this article, has only been a Christian for four months, thus suggesting that the association with this band has been only of short duration. Also, a newspaper article showed a photo of him and his fourth-grade classmates when they went to a state park and learned about identifying trees. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:59, 4 April 2021 (UTC) reply
• Comment by nominator: It would appear to be pretty heavily SNOWing. In light of the substantial BLP issues presented, I would encourage any roaming sysop to close this discussion sooner rather than later. Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 23:05, 4 April 2021 (UTC) reply
• Delete Jesus loves me too, but I don't need a wikipedia article. Nothing found to show him as being more important than a random 12 yr old. Oaktree b ( talk) 21:13, 5 April 2021 (UTC) reply
• Delete This is one of the worst sourced and most engaged in over the top promotionalism articles I have seen. Having your name mentioned in a hyper local paper article on your school doing a fundraiser is not a sign of notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:48, 6 April 2021 (UTC) reply
