No real indication of importance, written more like an advert than a WP:BLP. As the article currently stands, it's a basic example of what most other YouTube personalities do. All or most of the references are promotional, leading back to his YouTube account and videos. Requesting deletion per WP:NOTWHOSWHO. --Anarchyte 08:54, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the multiple articles in Irish papers: [1], [2], [3]. --Sammy1339 (talk) 14:29, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• For the record, sources #1 and #3 link to the same exact article, and source #2 is an extremely minor passing mention. So, you've really only provided one source that provides significant coverage, on the assumption "Irish Examiner" is a reliable sources. (I've never heard of it, so I don't know either way.)

• Oops! Sometimes I open too many tabs and accidentally paste the same URL twice - sorry about that. Anyway here are two more: [4], [5]. Also the one you called an extremely minor passing mention has this:

  However, the star of all Irish YouTubers is JackSepticEye aka Seán Mclaughlin, who is ranked in the top 100 in the world. Mclaughlin (25), who also makes a living talking his way through videogames, has accumulated 1.5 billion views. Social Blade puts his annual income at a minimum of €510,000. The maximum is a multiple of that sum. If these figures are to be believed, most of us would appear to be in the wrong line of work.

  It's short, but not a passing mention, and the contents indicate the notability of the subject. --Sammy1339 (talk) 16:39, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Sources above don't establish notability per the reasons stated by Sergecross73, I can't find any evidence of notability so will have to go with Delete. –Davey2010^Talk 21:49, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• @Davey2010: Just for clarity, the Irish Times and the Irish Examiner are the top two broadsheet daily papers in Ireland. --Sammy1339 (talk) 04:51, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Per sources such as [6] [7] [8] [9]. In particular, the Sunday Times source says he runs Ireland's most popular YouTube channel, which seems notable. Everymorning talk 22:06, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
