unremarkable YouTube personality Mjbmr (talk) 03:29, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The nom hasn’t given proper rationale to delete this, or any, article. The subjected "unremarkable YouTube personality" opinion is noted, but it has nothing to do with WP's notability standards. This topic has received in-depth significant coverage from multiple reliable sources, internationally no less, spanning many years. [1], [2][3] (called a “YouTube All-Star") by the Chicago Tribune) There are more, like a very in-depth piece specifically about Robinett from the German Berliner Zeitung, but they seemed to have taken it offline. Still counts though. --Oakshade (talk) 04:22, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

  The book notes:
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Paul Robinett to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Comment - As noted by BigHaz in this other AfD, this might be part of a bad-faith multiple AfD effort. --Oakshade (talk) 04:47, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Much as I don't like to assume, I think that's a good catch. Looking at the nominator's Talk page archives, there's a pattern of behaviour here. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:58, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
