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)[reply]
- 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)[reply]

This is BS notability

Anyone can submit articles to Polygon, you know that right? Austin can submit his own article there. I sort of wonder if YOU are Austin 2600:1700:A950:2960:E06B:3684:6FAD:1BFB (talk) 20:30, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
