Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shaun (YouTuber)
It can be a bit difficult to assess the notability of YouTubers as YouTube itself is—for better or worse—generally not considered admissible evidence. It is likely that a lot of them—including this one—pass  as they have {{tq|a large fan base or a significant "cult" following}}, but it's difficult to find  sourcing to back that up. As {{u|DanielRigal}} notes, some sources can be found using Google Scholar, though it is difficult to search for someone with as a generic name as "Shaun"—adding keywords like "BreadTube", "Contrapoints", or "Hbomberguy" to the search ameliorates this somewhat and results in a few additional hits. Ultimately, I find that Shaun (YouTuber)|Shaun is sufficiently prominently mentioned in BreadTube coverage as one of the main figures thereof that—even if the individual notability, independent of the wider BreadTube phenomenon, is insufficient to warrant a standalone article (which is something I'm not sure of, I would need to do more of a deep dive into the sources to assess that)—it would at least be motivated to merge the content from this article to the BreadTube one. Considering that the other four YouTubers that are as frequently mentioned as major BreadTube figures—ContraPoints, Hbomberguy, Lindsay Ellis, and Philosophy Tube—all have stand-alone articles, merging the content from this article to the BreadTube one would seem quite out of place and I think keeping a separate article is the preferable alternative
