WP:BLP of a filmmaker and YouTuber, not properly referenced as passing WP:CREATIVE. His strongest notability claim is winning a minor award for web content, which would be fine if the article were well-sourced but isn't highly meganotable enough to confer an instant notability freebie in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume and depth of sourcing -- but four of the five footnotes are his own self-published content about himself in his YouTube videos and the website of his own company, and the only source that's actually independent of him comes from a community hyperlocal alt-weekly in his own hometown, which isn't enough coverage to singlehandedly vault him over GNG all by itself if all of the other sourcing is primary.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source something better than this, but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have more than just one hit of media coverage. Bearcat (talk) 14:00, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
