The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Angry Grandpa. Per WP:CHEAP and WP:ATD. The history is still visible, so if somebody wants to cherry-pick material to merge, go for it (but remember to comply with the spirit of WP:SMERGE for proper attribution). -- RoySmith (talk) 22:07, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:N. No coverage in reliable sources found by a verbatim Google search, kidbehindacamera. Being the guy who held the camera for another YouTuber who, as it happens, was his father is as close as the article comes to claiming any significance.

Delete as N is WP:NOTINHERITED; the sources are insufficient to indicate WP:V. —SerialNumber54129^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 13:28, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Partial~~Minimal merge to establish context and redirect to Angry Grandpa. Family members of notable people can be merged per WP:ATD-M.— Alpha3031 (talk | contribs) 15:13, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment At the moment, there's virtually nothing to merge. The article consists entirely of unsourced assertions combined with directly sourced repetitions of the subject's online musings about his life, any of which could be fictional (as though raconteurs don't ever embellish their stories!), and bearing the weight that the subject himself has assigned to these details (as though any third party would mention in a bio that its subject put cotton in his ears as a child). Someone even just added the assertion that the subject is a Yankees fan, representing WP:OR by the editor that this is the case based on noticing that the subject wears a Yankees cap.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment I do agree with what you've said Largoplazo, and I suppose I should clarify my !vote, since I've utterly failed to say anything. The sources are clearly insufficient for any substantial claim (independence also questionable), but I think they do establish (a) existence and (b) identity. Delete is certainly appropriate here, but a redirect would be helpful, and if we do point a redirect towards Angry Grandpa, we should probably add some information to establish context.— Alpha3031 (talk | contribs) 13:32, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Angry Grandpa. Not notable. Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:ENT. No significant coverage from reliable sources. I've added a "KidBehindTheCamera" mention to the target article. — Newslinger talk 14:57, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
