There is no significant notability of this YouTuber, especially given we don't know her full name. Songwaters (talk) 00:58, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She passes WP:GNG just based on the sources in the current version of the article. It does not matter whether an individual's real name is known or whether they are known solely by a pseudonym, that has never been a criteria and would be counterproductive since many entertainers and authors spend most or all of their careers semi-anonymous. Besides this, none of the sources I saw explicitly stated that "Taylor Darling" was a stagename. It certainly sounds like one but we can't make statements on Wikipedia based on assumptions.

Comment OK, it turns out that re: the naming issue that the NY Times article does mention that she only uses her first name "Taylor" out of privacy concerns. Regardless, using a pseudonym does not make her non-notable, what matters is that there is significant coverage (there is) and that this coverage indicates that she is notable as a YouTuber (it does).IphisOfCrete (talk) 21:42, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't think they're sockpuppets though, and I couldn't find any signs of online canvassing. TheAwesome Hwyh 16:51, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
