- Delete as much as I would like to see a guy who drives towards tornados as a hobby have an article, there is none of the WP:SIGCOV needed to justify it. Alansohn (talk) 10:21, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Alansohn Category:Storm chasers. :p HurricaneZetaC 14:43, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: Outside of the coverage he received for saving that family - which alone I doubt he's notable for, but that would be WP:BLP1E - there is no SIGCOV that I could find in reliable sources. For the sources in the article, the WOWT one focuses on chasing the tornado, with little about him. The NPM one has a few paragraphs about him, but I doubt that it is significant due to it being in an assortment of storm chasers. HurricaneZetaC 14:43, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:YTN, WP:ENT and WP:BLP1E. —Fortuna, imperatrix 15:27, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- weak keep Has a PBS story about him , with the coverage of him saving the family, we should have enough to show notability for this streamer. That was literally the first thing that came up, hard to miss. Oaktree b (talk) 15:56, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- Not sure if you were speaking to me there @Oaktree b
- I didn't miss it, it was in the version discussed at the last AfD. (For those looking, it's in the deleted history of Draft:Freddy McKinney. Should this be retained, they should probably me history merged.) Star Mississippi 01:37, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete & Salt: To prevent further recreation. Non notable YouTuber. Zuck28 (talk) 21:48, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete - Sources provided do not establish WP:SIGCOV. The subject does not seem to pass WP:GNG. Retro music11 (talk) 22:19, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete I see nothing that meets WP:GNG nor any other standard of notability. Jacona (talk) 17:16, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:SIGCOV per Alansohn. Also, LOL. ScottyNolan (talk) 15:29, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete hopefully a third time without significant coverage is the time? Agnieszka653 (talk) 22:07, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
