Probably does not meet WP:GNG. All sources are WP:FANDOM, WP:YOUTUBE or otherwise WP:SELFPUB. Most of the text is from Fandom.com, which publishes text under CC BY-SA 3.0, so there is probably no copyright infringement, but it's not a reliable source either. Although Kings and Generals itself most probably qualifies as a reliable source (and I have used it as such on occasion), it (unfortunately) is most likely not mentioned in enough other reliable sources (WP:SIGCOV) to be notable enough for its own article.

  Honestly - this is a channel with almost 3M subscribers, and many of whose videos are viewed by hundreds of thousands of people - in what world doesn't it meet 'notability guidelines' more than, say, Raith Rovers F.C., which is followed by perhaps 10,000 people? (Mind you, I am not advocating removal of the Raith Rovers FC page, I am just amazed that any obscure football club / pub band of the '60s seems to be considered worthy of their page, whereas channels with million of viewers aren't) Poesio (talk) 14:38, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete fails WP:GNG. No reliable and independent coverage found. BilletsMauves^€500 10:11, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, I watch this channel quite a bit myself, but unfortunately I was not able to find any reliable secondary sources that covered it, meaning that it fails WP:GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 10:18, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
