Page about youtube personality Toby turner. It's been A7ed under that name repeatedly, but technically I think this falls outside A7 since there's a claim of celebrity. There's sparse coverage I found in Google news, including a press release from his new corporate sponsor. Gigs (talk) 05:29, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I would say keep because of his references elsewhere, or perhaps switch the name of the article from "Tobuscus" to "Toby Turner". His acting was significant enough that he is listed as one of the major actors in the movie New Low, which is referenced on this site. Perhaps it needs some more information, but I have seen articles with a lot less that this. I also edited it to make it less of an advertisement than it was before, like mention below. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djbarbe (talk • contribs) 00:29, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete unless significant coverage is found and added. Having a corporate sponsor is not enough to indicate WP:Notability. LadyofShalott 06:30, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I just found this article out of curiosity to see if it even existed. I enjoy videos the person has made, and they do indeed have many views on Youtube. However Views alone do not make you notable. He may be more notable in the future, but Wikipedia is Not a Crystal Ball. Right now this page seams like more of an advertisement for him then an encyclopedia article anyway. --Jaryth000 (talk) 10:19, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete just a YouTube personality with a corporate sponsor, but still non-notable, no significant enough coverage found. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 ^(Contact) 13:18, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for lack of sources - but with the caveat that one big project or acting role would fix that right quick. Shame, too, as he's quite funny. Bless your face, and all that. UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 16:03, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete; unsourced BLP, dubious notability. Hairhorn (talk) 18:48, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
