Keep. Scott Manley, although not very famous to the general public, is very notable among circles of people who are interested in gaming and science. I have provided farther evidence on the matter. 20:58, 14 December 2018 (UTC) — Preceding

Comment' . Of the 3 principal sources. Seeker & Shacknews seem to be interviews which simply let him say whatever he pleases about himself & his work, & is therefore not a true 3rd person source; the Universe Today item is a brief view of one of his livestreamed games. It is difficult to differentiate such interviews that are real coverage selected to highlight someone of importance, or mere promotional arrangements. In dealing with companies and individual professionals, we now generally assume per
WP:NCORP that such interview are promotional, but this is not the first bio article I've seen where it might be otherwise. On that basis , I'm willing to withdraw the AfD. DGG (

DGG, You are correct about Slacknews being mostly an interview, I should have mentioned this, but I certainly wouldn't characterise the Seeker article as primarily an interview at all. There is currently a discussion involving interviews and notability, but it seems that many agree that articles containing interview questions can still contribute to notability so long as the article also describes and discusses the subject separately from interview questions. In this case, I'd agree Slacknews probably does not contribute to notability in this case, but argue that both seeker and Universe Today do (Slacknews does have a ton of good information for the article though). The Universe Today article seems to me to be as much about Manley himself as the content of his video being reviewed. — Insertcleverphrasehere(
