Declined PROD. Non-notable YouTuber. A WP:BEFORE shows a lack of coverage in reliable sources, and notability is clearly lacking. No evidence that subject warrants a standalone article. CycloneYoris ^talk! 21:52, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree that Sambucha appears to lack notability. The two sources that could qualify are the nytimes article about influencers going a different route than Mr Beast and the LADBible coverage of his AI experiment. These articles are not enough to merit inclusion under WP:ANYBIO or WP:CREATIVE, so I recommend deletion.

@Anonrfjwhuikdzz wouldn’t the UNILAD reference qualify too? Plant🌱man (talk) 15:37, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. LADBible and UNILAD are under the same company, and I'm not sure they're considered reliable. Could be worth a discussion. The UNILAD article read like "youtuber did thing" so I didn't really think it establishes notability for a biography of an influencer. Arguably the LADBible article is should also be discounted as it is similar in that it discusses "youtuber did AI thing" Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 18:44, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Even though he has millions of subscribers, that does not mean he is notable. An editor from Mars (talk) 04:17, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm a fan and a subscriber of the guy but yeah non-notable indeed. No RS coverage on GNews. Sorry Sam. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:23, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A simple search didn't provide significant non trivial reliable coverage. Dam222 🌋 (talk) 14:17, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not delete. I believe that the article should be at least improved, and not deleted. But if it can't be, then delete. Quincy2293 (talk) 22:22, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Sambucha is quite possibly my favourite YouTuber, but the fact that most of his sources are YouTube tells me that he does not meet the notability criteria atm. Despite there being possibly 3 examples of reliable SIGCOV in the references, the YouTube links far outnumber them. Additionally, Draft:Sambucha has been declined multiple times, and Sambucha was formerly a redirect to Shoenice, but it got deleted per this RfD discussion, after which this article was created.

Delete. Yeah, I couldn't find much either. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sam Beres (Sambucha's real name). ObserveOwl (talk) 08:30, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
