Brett Cooper (commentator) : Zero independent third-party RS biographical coverage that I could find; total third-party cites are two questionable collections of gossip.  There just isn't enough here to sustain the existence of a WP:BLP on the site.  PROD removed without action to address the issues.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 11:56, 1 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep looks like there's a decent split between RS commentary on her as a child actress in TN [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] and others covering her in the context of her more recent advocacy [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] .  Note that I've filtered out anything from any source Cooper has worked for, so while some of these are clearly partisan sources, at least a couple of them clearly cover Cooper in a critical manner.  If this isn't kept, it's an odd case of TOOSOON, as this individual appears to be gaining prominence.  I suppose a merge to The Daily Wire might be appropriate as an ATD, but that isn't the only thing she's known for.  Jclemens ( talk ) 16:41, 1 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] MMFA, opinion pieces and Fox aren't usable for notability, Insider and The Week is passing mentions - so there isn't more than the bare fact about her present career.  But that's more NACTOR than I could find, thank you - is it enough to swing WP:NFILM ?  Not sure it passes, but are there any more of the solid RSes?  - David Gerard ( talk ) 12:13, 2 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Maybe Keep looks bit young, but with a billion youtube views in very quick time, maybe just a blind spot for the old timers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mimi Ho Kora ( talk • contribs ) 00:21, 8 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : BLP.

And where's the RS evidence that she's "prominent" as you claim per WP:ENT ?  - David Gerard ( talk ) 11:45, 9 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep She's rather famous, and is gaining in popularity.

Besides, she seems to be a rising star as an actress.  Dswitz10734 ( talk ) 13:09, 12 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete per nomination and User:TimothyBlue above, fails WP:NACTOR and WP:JOURNALIST .  The three short posts above for keeping all appear to hinge on: the notability of her employer (but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED on Wikipedia) her YouTube subscriber count (but see WP:NYOUTUBER , as prior consensus is that this also doesn't confer notability).  She could become notable eventually, but for now it's WP:TOOSOON for a separate article.  No objection to User:Jclemens ' suggestion of a merge to Daily Wire as an ATD, and a tag of redirect with possibilities. Uncle Spock ( talk ) 10:57, 13 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge with the Dailywire article. She seems to be a rising star and may become notable eventually. But for now, she doesn't seem to be notable under WP:GNG , WP:JOURNALIST , WP:CREATIVE or any other criterion. So for now, in my opinion, the best thing to do with her article is to merge with DailyWire, where she works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashik Rahik ( talk • contribs ) 14:17, 16 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Thanks, Guerillero Parlez Moi 19:12, 26 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete I can't see the need for the merge, she's not well known enough, based on the limited coverage of her in RS. She's not at GNG. Oaktree b ( talk ) 15:11, 1 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Brett Cooper runs a YouTube channel with over two million subscribers. She's affiliated with the media conglomerate The Daily Wire , and she is an actress who still books roles today. Dswitz10734 ( talk ) 12:03, 27 April 2023 (UTC) — Duplicate vote: Dswitz10734 ( talk • contribs )  has already cast a vote above. [ reply ] But she fails to satisfy notability under WP:GNG , WP:JOURNALIST , WP:CREATIVE or any other criterion. Number of YouTube subscribers, affiliation with any network, doing acting, not strong reasons to keep, since there's no reliable sources to back her notability. Ashik Rahik ( talk ) 13:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : Now have enough notability. CastJared ( talk ) 14:42, 27 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - sources indicate notability per WP:GNG. Prominent Youtuber with 2+ million subscribers. Of course the article needs some improvements. But no reason for deletion: BabbaQ ( talk ) 14:59, 27 April 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . The individual has been significantly covered by multiple independent reliable sources that are intellectually independent of her and each other, so she passes WP:NBASIC . These include the sources about her acting career provided by Jclemens, and this doesn't appear to be a BLP1E situation. That being said, the article needs significant work to recenter it around the things that she is notable for and to actually incorporate the sources described in this AfD; the current state of the article is well below our sourcing standards for living people. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 05:06, 1 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - I am open to reconsidering my !vote if significant coverage by multiple independent reliable sources that are intellectually independent of her and each other are found, but my attempts to find sources with sufficient quality and depth to support notability under any guideline have not been successful. I do not think interviews with her and her mother, e.g. in Chattanooga Times Free Press (2010), Chattanooga Times Free Press (2012), and what appears to be a press release/announcement Chattanoogan.com (2012), as well as an interview with her and her employers Chattanooga Times Free Press (2012) while Cooper was a child actress that have been identified in this discussion are sufficient to support a standalone article. Similarly, a brief mention of "creators Insider spoke with" describing her as an example of a "rage-baiter" and a basic description of her as a "conservative talking head for The Daily Wire with her own TikTok channel" ( Insider , 2022), and The Week stating "A new show starring former child actress Brett Cooper aims to capture a Gen Z audience on TikTok and YouTube" ( 2022 ) does not appear to provide substantial support for WP:BASIC notability. The MMFA source (2023) has slightly, but not much more detail, noting only that she replayed another commentator's statements on her show, and was one of several commentators who "promoted their anti-trans brand of chocolate."  Due to the lack of significant coverage about her in independent and reliable sources, it is not clear if the 2021 FoxNews coverage is about her, but it is also a brief report about one video, and would be limited support for notability. Her own opinion article published on HuntingtonNews.net also does not support notability. This article appears to be WP:PROMO and an advertisement masquerading as an article at this time. Beccaynr ( talk ) 14:46, 1 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Which all of them are removed, including the birth date per WP:DOB . CastJared ( talk ) 16:03, 1 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This article appears to be a means of promotion because there does not appear to be significant coverage by multiple independent reliable sources that are intellectually independent of her and each other. According to WP:NOT policy, "Wikipedia articles about a person, company or organization are not an extension of their website, press releases, or other social media marketing efforts."  Beccaynr ( talk ) 16:45, 1 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Um, the !votes of Keep, Delete, and Merge are crashed. This caused a severe dispute.

Having a large YouTube fanbase doesn't necessarily fulfill the requirements of WP:GNG or WP:NBIO . The currently cited sources are pretty questionable on reliability, and not much else can be found about the subject other than trivial mentions.
