| Submission declined on 28 November 2024 by Chaotic Enby (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of web content). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Might be notable, but the current sources don't show it. Especially avoid primary sources (the channel itself) for anything beyond basic data like subscriber count, and user-generated websites like wikis or IMDb. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:08, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
