• Comment I personally think it is dubious that he would pass WP:NYOUTUBER. He does have a lot of trivial mentions, but all of the sources used are about the particular thing he has found, and mention him as the discoverer in passing. He is not the developer of Skyrim, so it would only point to Skyrim itself being notable. In terms of significant coverage about him the person, there is next to nil. The Polygon article is the closest, but it's an interview and primary source, not a secondary one. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:48, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
  • The sources are more in line with "Any Austin found X" rather than "X was found", and coverage of the actions that a person does is evidence of notability for that person (or rather, a YouTube channel in this case). Based5290 :3 (talk) 17:58, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
    • mmm, I wouldn't consider a TV show notable if the sourcing almost all recaps of what happened on the show- not sure why a YouTube channel would be different. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 09:03, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
      • Article has been approved for close to two months and no promoter has chosen it. WP:DYKTIMEOUT fairly clearly applies. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:12, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
