[edit] Madison Patrello

This article was nominated for speedy deletion per A7, no assertion of notability. Notability was asserted in being prominent on YouTube, the question whether this is enough to meet WP:BIO. I myself am undecided for the moment. Aecis^Brievenbus 01:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• Very Weak Keep - There is one pretty extensive article at Canadian TV as shown here [1]. However, other than that, all other hits are either You Tube or Blog. Shoessss |  Chat  01:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Delete This one can go both ways. On one side, you can have the fact that he is very popular on YouTube. However, I wouldn't really consider that alone to be notable enough. However, many people would disagree since so many people browse YouTube each day, and that this guy is one of the top people on it. —Signed by KoЯnfan71 ^{My Talk} _{Sign Here!} 03:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

*Very Weak Keep. The Globe & Mail article linked above would seem to, by itself, meet the requirements of WP:BIO; but I have concerns about articles essentially based on a single source. Notability isn't obvious, but I'd say this guy just about passes the test. Terraxos (talk) 01:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• On closer examination, Speedy delete as recreation of deleted content. This person is the Internet celebrity 'Daxflame'; the previous article about him, Daxflame, has already been deleted twice at AFD and had deletion endorsed at Deletion Review. It should not have been recreated until it passes another deletion review. Terraxos (talk) 01:58, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Whether it is recreated content or not, I don't see anything that indicates that the subject of this article meets WP:BIO. Gnome de plume (talk) 23:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep this aticle For all the reasons I mentioned on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Madison_Patrello - Plus it's not just his popularity on Youtube that makes Madison Patrello so fascinating, it's also the controversy behind his character of Daxflame and whether he's acting or not. All of this added up, plus his large fan base and significant "cult" following on Youtube, makes him meet WP:BIO guidlines. K69 (talk) 00:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
