That was me. I believe Wikipedia has a policy regarding notability. And a kid with some 15k subscribers and less than 5k likes on Facebook at the moment is hardly notable enough for a Wikipedia article. This sets a dangerous precedent, because if this kid can have a Wikipedia page, why not create one for every single person with a fashion blog and 15 thousand subscribers on YouTube? And just like that, you'll have hundreds, if not thousands of articles on completely unimportant people, because everyone has 15 thousand subscribers on YouTube - since even channels with 6 figures in the subscriber area are considered small, 15k can be seen as nothing.

The sources are terrible and can't even be taken seriously. A gay person is not notable (meaning to the general public) if he only appeared on sites like "The Gay" or "Pink News", atrocious blogs like "Sugarscape" (who the hell puts these as serious sources...) and some small local news site like "Eastern Daily Press". Are you kidding? You might as well just throw a quick blog together in Wordpress, write an article youself and use it a a source. And if you're going to write about being "known worldwide", you better have some world class sources, and not just "b-b-but his fans are from different parts of the world!" to back you up.

This article has everything a Wikipedia article should NOT have, everything was done wrong, and should go away. This makes me believe the whole thing is an attempt at self-promotion either by the YouTuber himself, or his fans.
