Fails WP:NBIO and WP:NBASIC; didn't find any reliable sources that contain significant coverage of him. Most references in the article currently don't establish notability of O'Reilly and are either not reliable or not in-depth coverage of him. ~ Tails Wx 16:28, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I don't normally weigh-in on YouTuber AfD discussions (as they often seem to rely on relative perceptions of "fame"). However, the sources in this article are woeful. Effectively all are primary sources. Where the subject(s) own YouTube statements are relied upon as fact. While this might just about be "OK" in the context of WP:ABOUTSELF, it is not "OK" (certainly not in establishing notability) that effectively all of the sources are self-published/self-statements. The handful of secondary sources in the article are barely brief passing mentions. And are placed alongside text that they unequivocally do not support. Like those screenrant.com and thegamer.com webpages - which do not support the text of the "collaborations" section they are placed within. At all. Not even close. It's hard to offer an objective AfD recommendation in the face of this type of WP:REFBOMBing. Guliolopez (talk) 20:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I note that a draft, Draft:Call Me Kevin, has been created/declined/deleted/recreated several times. And that Call Me Kevin (without the oddly placed "-" character in the title under discussion) was also previously deleted. Guliolopez (talk) 20:59, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No coverage in RS in the article, hardly anything at length that I can find. This [1] is fine, but it's only a paragraph in a list of other Irish people. Oaktree b (talk) 21:32, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I tried to find sources about Kevin awhile ago and still now coverage. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 03:18, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - this Business Week article is reliable but is a passing mention of Kevin. Bearian (talk) 16:57, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
