Whilst I would agree I would also say that many other YouTubers with similar notability exist so far, and this article may improve over time
WP:HASPOT. I would also recommend a name change to "Lewis Hilsenteger" to match other similar articles.

Comment ThePlatypusofDoom, I agree that
WP:WAX applies to the original Article marked here for deletion, but
WP:CRYSTAL seems off topic for this discussion as it would normally apply to the Wikipedia article in question for deletion rather than this particular discussion on whether to keep the article. --

Delete My searches reveal insufficient secondary, reliable sources to meet WP:GNG or WP:WEB.

Comment I do agree that as it stands this article doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:WEB. Though with a quick search on the links pointed out above and a bit of a search on Wikipedia I do see references that would potentially meet the WP:GNG and WP:WEB requirements. Specifically the notoriety/controversy involved with #Bendgate and the viral video that was created by Lewis Hilsenteger. This content on Unbox Therapy [1] ended up with several worthy news sources, such as
Bloomberg Television[2],
CNN[3] and
Forbes[4], reporting on it and either directly or indirectly pointing to this viral video. Even so much to cause Consumer Reports to do testing [5] and for Apple to respond to said product bend-ability in an article in
Forbes[6]. For Wikipedia citations see the article
Bendgate and here
List_of_scandals_with_"-gate"_suffix#Technology. As for meeting WP:WEB, that's a bit more up for interpretation and I'm not sure I provided sufficient evidence too meet that requirement. --

Delete at best as there's nothing particularly better convincing for the needed solid notability here.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
