    New article created by SPA. Article is about a little-known comedian with a satire website that has once or twice created a WP:SENSATION as an individual gag is mentioned in the Daily Mail or on Buzzfeed. Notability tag has been repeatedly removed from page during period when I attempted to work with creator by advising him on what reliable sourcing is.

    • Keep - I disagree. I posted several references (with proper coding, sorry about that before). His allmusic.com page is listed, a credential for musicians, his verified artist profile on Spotify and his verified Facebook comedian page. All show notability. Any further instruction or advice is welcomed. I'm a newbie at Wikipedia editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeahimadethis (talk • contribs) 19:03, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • Weak Keep - I'm sympathetic to the nominator... I'm finding that the majority of sources provided are not independant of the subject, or are routine coverage. That said, #7 on the billboard chart is nothing to sneer at, and may be a notability claim in and of itself. I'm also not as dismissive of a daily mail article... I understand WP:SENSATION, but on the other hand, individual sensations are what comedians in general tend to be noted for, and in my opinion, can add weight to corroborate (although not completely establish) notability. So the billboard chart, plus the daily mail... it's barely barely enough to nudge past my notability threshold. Neither source alone would do it for me, but the sum total of both looks ok. That said, it's right on the borderline, and I wouldn't object too hard if other wikipedians thought it wasn't enough. Fieari (talk) 07:10, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
