Comment: First, I’m not really an expert on . I wrote an essay on it back in 2013 when I only had a few hundred edits, and have kept the essay up since I still pretty much agree with its contents. Onto the actual topic at hand, Macgyver has apparently been an internet sensation since 2012, but every source I’ve found had been within the last six months or so (I couldn’t even find local coverage on newsbank from 2015 or earlier). Furthermore, most of them are what I call “introductory” sources (those giving an overview of a subject with no development with time and which tend to duplicate every other source), and from a lot of less than optimal sources to boot (the more reliable sources are clustered around June 1, 2016). I don’t think that there is a clear-cut outcome to this AfD, since there is nonetheless coverage from reliable sources over a somewhat broader range than is typical of notnews. However, given the facts I’ve laid out I believe that merging this article with List of viral videos would be the best course of action

Comment: I believe this article passes the .  MacGyver has been the topic ("significant coverage") of multiple publications by reliable, independent, sources.  I do not believe any argument can be made that this is a case of , as none of the coverage is related to any event.  He has not gained temporary notability as a result of any event, but rather has received this coverage as a result of already being notable.  In my opinion, this alone is enough for a '''keep''' vote.  In addition though, I think an argument could be made that he also passes under  (2. Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following) as well.  I do not believe a standard of "Trekkies" should be applied, as absolutely nothing other than Star Trek would pass this test.  A  (3. Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment) argument is also possible, as he is the only reptile (unique) with any significant fan following as a result of creating videos (very unique) that show reptiles as cute, friendly, animals.  He is well known throughout the reptile community for changing public opinion on reptiles. (Note:  I am the article author.  I believe I am being completely objective, but take my arguments as you will

Comment: It should be clear that this article should be exempt from deletion due to . It is not the case that it is a  relative to the channel - the articles do not all point to just a single video, but rather the channel as a whole. It is not the case that it is a  relative to press coverage - news outlets each published separate articles over the course of several months. I cannot comment on the validity of the article as  since I am somewhat unfamiliar with the fanbase, but it is not correct to set the Star Trek fandom as a minimum or even as something that MacGyver the Lizard's should be near - the Star Trek fandom is unusually large and developed as far as "significant cult followings" go. I think that it is important to weigh each of these aspects not individually, but together. The news outlet coverage of the channel, compounded with its ever-increasing popularity and fanbase, certainly qualify it as a valid Wikipedia article.

Comment: nominating it under |A7 criteria is utterly baseless. Whole content of page is well cited with references. The animal is significant enough that it received over 10 million view on Youtube. MacGyver the Lizard has become a public figure. The animal is covered by notable news media i.e The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, China Times. It must be kept from deletion
