Disputed draftification. WP:ADMASQ with multiple references to primary sources. Suspected self publicity. Definitely a puff piece. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 09:07, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lets examine the references, in the first block.

Ref 1 [1] Landing page. Non-rs.
Ref 2 [2] Reads as a partial interview with PR. Looks and reads like manufactured clickbait.
Ref 3 [3] Another business insider ref. A full interview this time. Not independent.
Ref 4 Holilive Youtube page. Non-rs
Ref 5 Holilive Youtube page. Non-rs
Ref 6 [4] Another style interview. More PR. Exact same image used in a couple of the other references.
Ref 7 Facebook. Non-RS
Ref 8 [5] Another interview. Not indepdent.
Ref 9 [6] Company profile. Non-rs
Ref 10 [7] Straight up plain interview with no association PR muck.

Looking at the first 10 references, 5 are non-rs. 1 is clickbait, and the rest are a mix of interviews and PR. Not one of it is a WP:SECONDARY source. The article was sent to draft over the weekend after being review and moved back to mainspace probably indicating its a coi editor that created it. Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:BIO. Changed from comment to delete. scope_creep^Talk 11:34, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Some coverage, more of an interview, at Crunchyroll [8]. This Forbes site, but it keeps timing out [9] so I'm unable to evaluate it. Oaktree b. Forbes actually points here [10], which seems ok but it's a short few paragraphs about the person. Oaktree b (talk) 13:10, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This but it appears to be a series of video clips he hosts [11]. I'm thinking it's almost TOOSOON. Oaktree b (talk) 13:13, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b The Forbes link works at present. It's a paragraph per nation, so fails WP:SIGCOV and has a paragraph on the subject as one of Forbes's 200 "Superstar Entrepreneurs" which is along the same lines as the rest of their multiple meaningless lists. It's very easy to be fooled into thinking that all of Forbes has gravitas. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 14:42, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hololive Production until it becomes clear that WP:NBASIC is met. Any future recreation, however, will need to tone down on the primary sources and press releases. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 14:51, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hololive Production. The Forbes article is "Stuff", but it's a very short mention. Suitskvarts (talk) 09:03, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
