[edit] Matt Sloan (Chad Vader)

Matt Sloan (Chad Vader) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) –

YouTube celebrity. Appeared in a notable YouTube film, but notability is not inherited. shoy 03:33, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
I am nominating the following for the same reason:

  • Aaron Yonda
    • Note that with the publication of the NYT article, the nominator is !voting keep. This isn't a speedy keep, since there's still a delete !vote on the table, though. shoy 12:38, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all for lack of notability. Notability isn't inherited (and even if it was, there's no reliable sources for verifiability here) Bfigura (talk) 03:45, 14 October 2007 (UTC) See below --Bfigura (talk) 16:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete both, Chad Vader is cool, but it only needs the one article. SolidPlaid 05:55, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • See my comment belowDelete both, even though I once met them in person at Fan Expo Canada in Toronto. They're funny, but Chad Vader is enough for now. Ichormosquito 06:12, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete both and make redirect to Chad Vader. No separate notability. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:57, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I just read this in today's New York Times: In a City Far, Far Away From Hollywood, the YouTube Tales of a Lesser Vader. The subjects of the feature are Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda, NOT Chad Vader. This article, combined with the reliable sources already at Chad Vader[1][2], combined with the fact that they created and star in Chad Vader, is enough to warrant stubs. They are notable entertainers, per WP:BIO. Ichormosquito 15:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
I'll have to check with my NYT spy before I nominate an article for AFD next time. :) shoy 16:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep !vote change from above per NYTimes article. --Bfigura (talk) 16:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep all after reading NY Times article. Royalbroil 03:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Here's another New York Times article. While they're not the sole subjects of this one, they're quoted a few times: The Online Auteurs. Ichormosquito 05:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. An article about them appeared yesterday in the IHT, although it might be a reprint of the NYT story. Chris Buckey 13:22, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I have personally seen this person's work on the internet and it is pure genius. His internet sources are more than sufficient to keep him on WK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeshmidt1 (talk • contribs)
