Semi-advertorialized article about a YouTube series, not
properly sourced as passing
WP:NWEB. (It's also shooting for "has been featured on major television networks" in the lede, but I've been completely unable to
verify that claim at all.)
As always, web content is not "inherently" notable just because it exists, and has to be shown to pass
WP:GNG on reliable source media coverage about it -- but this is referenced almost entirely to
primary and unreliable sources that are not support for notability, such as his own self-published website and Blogspot blogs and dead TV listings and content self-published by his own past employers.
Out of 21 footnotes, just two are to nominally reliable sources at all: a deadlinked (but waybackable)
Sports Illustrated piece that briefly glances off Kayvon's existence without being about him in any non-trivial sense, and a deadlinked (but proquestable)
Toronto Sun article that's just about him hanging out at TIFF to collect celebrity autographs rather than doing anything noteworthy, which isn't enough to get him over GNG all by itself. But that Toronto Sun hit is also the only remotely useful source that turns up at ProQuest at all: otherwise, I'm only finding glancing namechecks of Kayvon Zahedi attending
Toronto Argonauts Grey Cup victory parades as a spectator and a press release self-published by
Aux, not anything remotely notability-building.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced properly.
