The fact that a one event internet video is considered notable for wikipedia standards is absurd to me. It might have coverage but WP:ONEEVENT isn't notable. LADY LOTUS • TALK 12:07, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - From WP:1E "When an individual is significant for his or her role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both." Since this article is about the "event", (of sorts) this is perfectly fine. ― Padenton|✉ 16:04, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

- Keep – Per WP:ONEEVENT, "The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person", which is exactly what this article does. Furthermore, the topic meets WP:N. Source examples: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. North America1000 02:58, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
