Subject of the article requests deletion (WP:BIODEL). Many, if not most, of the sources are not reliable (Gawker & blogs) particularly with regard to BLP. Fails to establish notability per WP:BIO. Geoff | Who, me? 22:54, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E. Clearly not notable. Kb.au (talk) 06:42, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - this is a bit beyond a BLP1E event. Seems subject beyond being notable for the 2013 events, has also fled Australia and is a fugitive, leading to subsequent coverage and proceedings (including the conviction of his mother). e.g. - Alleged hacker Dylan Wheeler's escape was helped by his WA mother, Dylan Wheeler: Accused Australian hacker attempts to crowdfund Ferrari to help 'anxiety', Mum collapses after being jailed for helping son avoid Xbox hacking charges, Suspected hacker Dylan Wheeler offers to return to Australia if guaranteed a ‘fair trial’, Australian teenager accused of being part of group suspected of US Army hack able to flee 'easily', After raid, Australian hacker fears possible arrest, How hackers built, then sold, a pre-release XBox One to the FBI, Australian who boasted of hacking to plead not guilty to charges stemming from raid. To sum up - we have the initial hacking case which was well covered, becoming an international fugitive which is also well covered - that led to the jailing of his mom, attempting to crowdfund a Ferrari and others similar bits, and mentions/coverage in relation to other hacking cases. It is at least a 3E, and with continuing in-depth coverage from 2013 to 2017.Icewhiz (talk) 13:27, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
KeepMerge -It is poorly source but better sources are available. Plus there have been a handful television reports on him. [1] [2] Somebody, I suspect the subject himself, keeps editing the article to make his bio more flatering, so we need to keep an eye on it.Merge with Xbox Underground per SunChaser. — Niche-gamer 19:44, 19 December 2017 (UTC)- Keep Multiple events, multiple coverage by multiple independent sources over a number of years.
