Comment please note comments on my user and talk page regarding notability for Youtube celebrities. His videos get >100k on a regular basis, and >2 million in some cases.

There are sources which appear to do that (from a quick skim-through) in the references section of the article. As far as
the relevance of the other outcomes you've cited, the rationales advanced for deletion there would seem to be other than that which you're using here. And unless someone can disabuse me of the notion, I see no guidelines either way in terms of what constitutes notability for a Youtube celebrity. I can see in one of the AfDs you've cited that you were advised that a "battleground mentality" isn't the best spirit in which to be conducting yourself, and I'll repeat that advice here.

Weak keep - While number of subscribers does not determine notability, the independent coverage on the subject is enough to pass GNG.

Comment: I've been
canvassed to give my opinion here by
Mjbmr and as such, I will
pointedly not do so. I do not approve of canvassing.

Waggie I'm not sure why want
BigDawsTv to be deleted but cleary not taking my action on this one so to keep
Dennis Roady, which the first one cleary has more resources. I wanted to clarify people on Wikipedia are ambushing not based on any policy.

Weak Keep - 3.5 million subscribers - which surpasses some TV stations. Coverage exists - as per quick source check. Perhaps frivolous subject matter, but there is place for the frivolous too. Note that
Mjbmr is engaging here in
WP:POINT vs. his own Youtube personality creations (and to be fair, he has a bit of a point with the "open youtuber season on AFD" lately - but many of the deletes were warranted).

Note - I a well aware that subscription counts do not make one notable. Nor does wealth, revenue, and other size metrics. This is however a benchmark that is useful in assessing subject matter - and I for one take a more lenient approach (in regards to assessing the possible existence of sources) - when I see a Youtuber with millions of subscribers compared to one with tens of thousands (or a billionaire vs. a businessman with 5-20 million dollars).

Delete Not enough valid thirty-party sources, and the page is a mess.
