Comment: Clearly a notable figure who meets all  criteria. BLP1E doesn't apply since he was highly notable prior to running for office, and the decision to run didn't have a significant impact on his existing platform. He had already become a high-tier figure in the podcast/video-news world, interviewing very well-known voices in videos that get hundreds of thousands of viewers each, and already had a considerably larger regular viewership than many cable and broadcast TV news programs. Most of his interview subjects of recent years are notable enough for articles, which says something. There is plenty of secondary-source coverage to warrant an inclusion; a simple aggregator search yielded almost 500 articles in notable news sources that were published prior to his political announcement (with most of the overall coverage predating his campaign), which scuttles 1E arguments that coverage/notability resulted mainly from his candidacy, and makes primary characterizations of 'political candidate' disingenuous or uninformed. I found that coverage within a few minutes, so I'm not sure what exactly was involved in the search by the deletion nominator El Cid, who incredibly claims he found just one article. Flyer's speculative concerns around promotion would be counterbalanced by a possible political motive to put him out of view (particularly given his ability to self-fund a major on-the-ground campaign). I'm not claiming that towards anyone here, I just feel the two factors cancel themselves out

Comment: per . The original article appeared as if it was written by the subject or someone close to him. The article's BLP1E status seems to hinge on (a) whether YouTube followers make a subject notable, and (b) whether running for office makes a subject notable.  Many people run for office, including the governorship of California, yet are not considered notable, so the answer to (b) seems to be a relatively uncontroversial "no".  The answer to (a) seems to be an interesting question, in that the subject derives income from publicity and publicity from income, and therefore seeks WP mention as a means of driving both. I would say that the article should wait until the subject does something notable. There are many real estate agents in California

Comment: per BLP1E. There are https://www.tubics.com/blog/number-of-youtube-channels/#:~:text=How%20many%20YouTubers%20have%201,having%20over%201%20million%20subscribers. over 22,000 Youtube channels with at least as many subscribers as Mr. Paffrath. Most in favor of "keep" are repeating some variation of the fact that he declared a (longshot) candidacy for governor three days ago. It smells like a classic 1E-type publicity stunt which will not generate  coverage. AOC didn't have an article until she won her primary. Any supposition of notability for Paffrath today is CRYSTALBALLing hypothetical future notability if he wins a primary. BTW, it's worth noting that the canvassing is coming from the man himself, as he's https://twitter.com/realMeetKevin/status/1395427515179487232 directed his youtube/twitter followers to brigade this discussion
