Delete

1. Irrelevant YouTuber MtD^Bogan 08:22, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

   Delete unless someone can come up with a good argument to keep it. Bongolian (talk) 08:26, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

   Delete at least for now. Tyrone already has an article-in-construction about random Youtuber #whatever on his sandbox, so let him flesh it out some more before discussing about whether or not we allow it to be moved to main space. — Ɖøn Ĵuan ^Harass 15:11, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

   I agree with Don Juan. Kill for now, but leave the door open for the draft. DuceMoosolini^{Your friendly RW dictator moderator} 16:47, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Keep

1. The Golden One is a crank and an authoritarian with 87 000 subscribers, possibly more in the future. He's exactly the kind of person Rational Wiki tries to expose. See this page for the purpose of Rational Wiki. Finally, this article is INCOMPLETE, which is different from being low-effort, you dumbass. I did add references before MtD reverted my edits.

2. The article is in a more serviceable state. Yes, it needs expansion and perhaps more direct quotes, but this seems enough, and the YouTuber passes the threshold of YouTubers we can cover, per Spud. Also per Spud, if you want to create an article, but it looks clearly unfinished, do so in your userpace, draft subpage. That way, it'll give you time to expand it without it being deleted for being inappropriate for mainspace. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 18:49, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
3. I retract my vote for deletion, as per LGM. — Ɖøn Ĵuan ^Harass 19:23, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

   @Don Juan If you do, please cross out your vote for deletion. Nerd (talk) 19:51, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

   Don't think you really have to unless someone else has per you. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 21:25, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

4. Changing my vote. Keep, as per LeftyGreenMario. Bongolian (talk) 21:33, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
5. Appears to have been improved enough to be spared, so I'll follow the mob on this one. DuceMoosolini^{Your friendly RW dictator moderator} 21:56, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
6. 'tis fine, should be kept. — Dysk (contribs) 22:43, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
7. Meets all the requirements in my mind. RoninMacbeth (talk) 01:39, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Goat

1. The article needs more sources, as well as fleshing out why people should care. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 14:28, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
2. Yeah, I'd say give it a bit more time. Nerd (talk) 14:38, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
3. This should have been created in draft space instead of being plonked unfinished into main space. But The Golden One's YouTube videos tick all the right boxes for stuff we debunk. And he does indeed have 87,000 subscribers, so he meets our YouTube notability guidelines 87 times over. So I'm in the wait and see camp on this one. Spud (talk) 15:12, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
