References don't support notability - all are primary. Working for an organization does not confer notability. The company and co-founders he left IGN for was recently deleted by AfD (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tim Gettys).Peter Rehse (talk) 18:40, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - If someone can dig up better sources, I'll reconsider, but currently all that's in the article is a bunch of first-party accounts from Youtube and social media. He once wrote for a notable subject (IGN) but we generally don't have pages for individual writers of publications. Not sure if any redirect makes sense - he's no longer at IGN and isn't mentioned anywhere in the article currently, and his current gig, Kinda Funny, was recently deleted at AFD...

Delete. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) I'd support a redirect to Greg Miller (Internet celebrity) as a useful search term. czar 23:15, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Czar I'm not even sure I'd recommend the Greg Miller redirect, that article is sourced largely to Youtube videos and first party accounts too. Doesn't seem built to last either... Sergecross73 msg me 16:22, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly agree that it isn't worth a prolonged discussion, but since redirects are cheap and it's a valid search term (shows up several times in that article), I say why not. If Miller is deleted, its redirects are automatically deleted. czar 16:32, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

True - and I think Miller will be put up for deletion soon.Peter Rehse (talk) 21:12, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - searches did not show they pass WP:GNG. Have no problem with the redirect as per Czar's rationale. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:53, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
