While undeniably a popular choice on YouTube and social media, I cannot find any WP:Reliable sources indicating that she meets our criteria for biographies, at this time. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:16, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs more information and needs to be completed --Shawnomalley (talk) 20:23, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome to try doing that while we discuss deletion, but 1st read WP:BIO. Simply making the article longer is not enough. We require WP:Reliable sources. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:34, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete There is nothing here of any notability at all. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 21:16, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems as if sources of notability were added --Shawnomalley (talk) 21:40, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- YouTube links have been added. Those are not "sources of notability." Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:22, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per WP:ENTERTAINER#2. YouTube 'personalities' that have millions of views and thousands of subscribers should be notable. There should be no difference between this person and an artist whose records are widely heard, or an author whose books are widely read. §FreeRangeFrog 22:03, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's a valid argument. Let's see how this plays out. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:51, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, unless better sources are found. Notability is established by having significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and this article fails on that count. Keihatsu ^talk 03:41, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per WP:ENTERTAINER#2. YouTube 'personalities' that have millions of views and thousands of subscribers should be notable, as another user said. I think she has enough followers to be considered notable.Youtuberinformation (talk) 04:55, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
— Note to closing admin: Youtuberinformation (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:10, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, without prejudice to recreation later if secondary sources are found for references, also userfy for Shawnomalley (talk · contribs) and/or Youtuberinformation (talk · contribs) to work on for a while in userspace subpage. — Cirt (talk) 17:37, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I cannot find any signfiicant coverage about her in reliable sources. As for point 2 of the entertainer notability, unless we have third party sources attesting to popularity or huge fan base, then I cannot agree that this criteria is met. I note that the primary guideline of notability states "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things like fame, importance, or popularity..." -- Whpq (talk) 17:33, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - By the reasoning cited to support the notability of this article, perhaps the top 20% of youtube uploaders should get a WP page without a single actual reference. Even a follower at the New York Times is useless, unless they decide to write it up.--Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 17:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as failing WP:ENTERTAINER. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:31, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
