Comment: This is a page that has been rejected five times, which is not alone a factor to reject but a strong indicia that other editors have consistently figured the subject does not meet WP:GNG. None of the sources have the combination of being significant commentary and reliability needed to meet WP:BIO. On significant commentary, sources should be about the subject as opposed to incidental mentions across various articles - many sources just happen to menton SSundee had a video on something about an Among Us mod as opposed to being about him. Moreover, other than the drama about DoubleJump or the irrelevant Among Us sources, none of these sources are really WP:RS of the calibre we'd consider contribute to notability - see WP:VG/S for examples. In addition - there's just...not a lot here at all. The personal life section is uncited. The uncited "Unique Style and Impact" section, in addition to being uncited, using the unnecessary heading, "X, Y and Z" listing has hallmarks of AI generation. Please don't use AI to draft an article, and examine the WP:GNG, the WP:VG/S and WP:VG/MOS when drafting articles in future. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 06:33, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
