Speaking about the article at hand, references 1-6 are reliable sources from trusted websites, such as
redbull.com,
pocketgamer.biz,
autoworldnews.com,
androidheadlines.com,
moesport.com. Reference 6 (
gfuel.com) is mainly a primary source but shows that this YTer is part of an e-sports team. Here are some reasons the article should be kept.
redbull.com, has over 4M visitors per month, and the YTer is featured on that website.[1][2]
pocketgamer.biz, has over 372,000 visitors in the last 30 days. The YTer is featured on this website.[3][4]
autoworldnews.com has over 311,000 visitors in the last 30 days. The YTer is featured on this website.[5][6]
moesport.com has over 46,000 visitors in the last 30 days. The YTer is featured on this website.[9][10]
NickAtNyte's YouTube channel has over 2M subs. He has had a collective view-count of over 613M.[11]
NickAtNyte has been reported on by NaiBuzz, which has a monthly view rate of about 145,020 per month.[12][13]
Comment And none of these sources meet Wikipedia notability requirements, while one of them doesn't even work. Site views are meaningless in that regard.

Can you tell me which sources do not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, and why. Can you also tell me the one that doesn't work? Also, can you tell me how site views are meaningless, and a Wikipedia Policy that proves that? Thanks!

For example, can you tell me how redbull.com doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, as a third-party source independent of the subject?

Consensus at
WP:VG/S have
Pocketgamer and Red Bull as reliable sources, so that's not the issue. The problem is that those two sources say little to nothing about the subject. The sources, to be used to establish notability, should cover the subject in significant detail. These are brief passing mentions.
