The result was keep. Unfortunately, none but the nominator believe this article is non-notable; one editor was undecided but stated that the soucing appeared "acceptable", even if the content was "decidedly promotional". That can be dealt with. ——Serial 14:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC) (non-admin closure) ——Serial 14:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Very unclear what is intended to be notable here. Various claims to YouTube subscriber numbers but, despite prompting several times, no sources have surfaced. Having a day job and another hobby/ occupation is hardly notable. Sources provided are very weak and look to be self promotional/ paid for content/ press releases etc . Nothing of any weight. Searches reveal more of the same but no RSs . For a BLP we need multiple independent and reliable sources. This meets none of those criteria.

• Keep. MacLean's article legitimizes subscriber count of almost 7 million and is an in-depth article from a reliable source with no connection to Rotenberg. Coverage in Ottawa Citizen for her podcast (doesn't appear to be self-promotion. though it isn't in-depth, it isn't trivial coverage either). Coverage in Tube Filter and AOL about her nail polish brand (the AOL source is from many months after the brand's launch, so its unlikely its a press-release sort of thing). This plus the not in-depth but definitely non-trivial coverage in VICE means the article almost certainly meets WP:GNG/WP:BASIC. Subscriber count indicates meeting criteria 2 of WP:ENT by having a fanbase of 7 million and originating the "100 coats" trend indicates meeting criteria 3 of WP:ENT and criteria 2 of WP:CREATIVE as well.

Comment the AOL source and the Tubefilter sources are both out-and-out advertisement. Whether paid for or from a press release isn't immediately clear but even down to prices for various items. Absolutely no independence there.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   12:26, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's common practice to list prices for items when writing an article about those items/a new company that produced them. To not do so when discussing a new brand would be an error in journalism as it would not describe the price point and intended audience of that brand. They are not out-and-out advertisements as neither article discloses that they are advertisements. Your assertion of these being non-independent sources is purely conjecture. Please provide evidence.

• Undecided - sources seem acceptable but content looks decidedly promotional to me. Deb (talk) 09:23, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Meets WP:GNG. The article needs clean-up but there are enough RS to establish notability. Citrivescence (talk) 00:24, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above. Corachow (talk) 14:37, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
