This person is not notable. They have a youtube channel. There is not much in the sources. No significant coverage in WP:RS. Fails WP:GNG. Bythebooklibrary (talk) 07:25, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Has significant coverage per WP:RS and WP:GNG with coverage spanning many years and internationally no less. Wired, Der Spiegel, The Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune and Berliner Zeitung are all extremely reliable sources per WP:RS and the coverage from all of these collectively are in-depth with some like the Wired article going into very significant coverage, more so than I've seen as acceptable coverage for other topics that were kept after AfD.[1] The now not-available online article from Berliner Zeitung also goes very in-depth (can be found here in this archive after scrolling down). "They have a youtube channel" is not a proper AfD rationale. I notice that last AfD which was closed as a decisive "Speedy Keep" was in May of this year. Too early to AfD again. --Oakshade (talk) 18:52, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The pieces of coverage identified above by Oakshade, and referenced in the article, are enough in my view to demonstrate that the subject meets WP:GNG.  gongshow  talk  06:04, 25 September 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".

• Keep: Meets WP:GNG. Inextricably linked to the history of youtube and its development, and subsequently has received significant coverage over time.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:54, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
