The result was Keep per WP:SNOW. The last AfD closed only two days ago with a result of keep, I don't think consensus will change that fast. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Delete He isn't famous at all outside of youtube except for a few magazines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pleasantview (talk • contribs) 20:00, 12 April 2008

But what difference does it make? I've never heard of him up until now, but he still known among a large number of people, which makes him famous. Does it matter on what platform this happens? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.6.123.3 (talk) 11:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - seem to be enough reliable sources to demonstrate notability.--BelovedFreak 13:07, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep WP:NOTAGAIN.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 13:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep It really doesn't matter why he became notable. The fact that the LA Times, Baltimore Sun and other RS have written about him passes WP:BIO.--Cube lurker (talk) 13:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

  And I didn't even notice that the last keep was about 48 hours ago. This should be speedied and if if the nom disagrees with the Apr-12 keep it should go to DRV.--Cube lurker (talk) 13:39, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep: per Cube lurker; that the fellow has racked up reliable sources is a prima facie pass on WP:V. I liked the bit where no one had ever heard of him "except for a few magazines." You could just as readily say that Ted Kaczynski wouldn't be famous except for a few newspapers and TV news shows.  RGTraynor  14:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy keep there was no need or valid reason for bringing this here again. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 16:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. The third AfD for him closed as a clear keep TWO DAYS AGO! Consensus is unlikely to change dramatically in two days. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy keep as article passed AFD only a couple of days ago. Don't re-nominate articles repeatedly to get a desired result. I'm assuming good faith as the nominator did not appear to contribute to the previous AFD and may not have been aware of it. 23skidoo (talk) 22:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep as per all previous comments. Notability appears to have been sufficiently established. Aleta ^Sing 23:39, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Well of course if you discount all the fame "outside of youtube," then "he isn't famous at all outside of youtube." Maxamegalon2000 05:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
