Nearly incomprehensible article about non-notable blogger. Not every blogger is notable. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:19, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This is worth a closer look from someone familiar with the challenges of sourcing Indian content. 400,000,000+ views and 3.3 million subscribers strongly suggests that there's something going on here. Sources now included in the article support the existence of a large following and lasting impact. This article describes him as "India's fastest growing YouTube star" who is surrounded by fans when he goes to Starbucks, and it quotes Tanmay Bhat of All India Bakchod as saying he's "making a killing" because of the low cost of production on his videos.

• Delete If I hadn't seen the !vote above, I would have speedied as a test page. Notable or not, there isn't even enough for a draft here, let alone an article Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:40, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It did look like a test page. I've reverted it back so that it's at least readable. The article seems like it's been a recurring target of test-edits and other problems. BB Ki Vines is create-protected, and if this is kept (which is a big if), the article should probably be moved to Bhuvan Bham anyway. Grayfell (talk) 20:27, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Hindustan Times says Bhuvan Bam is a household name in the country of 1.3 billion. [1] His youtube channel 'BB Ki Vines' was awarded most popular channel award at WebTV Asia Awards 2016,[2] so might be among the most popular onlines faces in Asia (if not the most popular). He is India's most subscribed youtuber,[3] and also the most fastest growing (mentioned above by User:Grayfell). Many articles/interviews of him are present online HT 1, HT 2, India Today and many more, enough to pass WP:GNG. Pratyush (talk) 04:52, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
