Another non-notable youtuber. Was nominated for an award in 2019, didn't win and just keeps doing what he does. No mentions in any RS. Oaktree b (talk) 20:39, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I did see his content before. But who cares. Super Ψ Dro 20:46, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sam O'Nella Academy is a very important part of the YouTube educational video space. He is one of the most well liked and respected content creators. Even if you don't care, millions of other people do.

If you think this article is not "Notable" that doesn't matter. A majority of Wikipedia articles aren't notable or are only notable for not being notable. Almost every chemical compound has a Wikipedia page but I bet half of those do not really matter or are not notable.

Sam and his channel have a cult following with the internet coming together when he came back. I don't see a cult following for Lead(IV) acetate. ThyOfThee (talk) 21:43, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide evidence of reliable news sources discussing his cult following in depth. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:11, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

News sources don't often have articles about youtubers like Sam, more people like Pewdiepie or Mr Beast as they are the biggest on the platform.

Sam's cult following can be seen in these places though,

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1DTYW241WD64ah5BFWn4JASam has over 4 million subscribers and nearly 600 million views

https://twitter.com/sam_onellaSam has 285 thousand followers and has several accounts based off his characters and jokes

https://www.reddit.com/r/SamONellaAcademy/His subreddit has 91 thousand members, all dedicated to his channel

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11988522/episodes?season=1 Sam O'Nella Academy is also on IMDb

In all of these you will also find that any sort of mention of a topic sam has covered, any mention of it in a place outside his community is joked about continuously.

You will also find that when he uploaded his most recent episode of Sam O'Nella Academy, a very large portion of the internet celebrated as he was back from hiatus.

I highly doubt a majority of the things on Wikipedia have news articles written about them. I don't see a new article for Potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) yet its on Wikipedia ThyOfThee (talk) 22:31, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chemical compounds are discussed in scientific journals and help study crystal structure. I couldn't find any peer-reviewed journal mentions of O'Nella's work. Oaktree b (talk) 15:13, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete::Fails to meet 'significant coverage' of WP:GNG, unless Reliable sources can be found, then should be deleted until then. StarryNightSky11 ☎ 22:29, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I've made some improvements to the article, added the award nomination and some tabloid news, but I don't think it meets WP:GNG. CT55555(talk) 22:30, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per nom. Doesn't appear to meet GNG or WP:ENT. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:34, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
