• Delete. The author has confirmed a connection with Benji Krol's manager, where they said: its just that i was emailing with krol's manager and i wanted it to be perfect in this comment on their user talk page. Svampesky (talk) 19:48, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

  Sammy that is something I was not aware of, I just edited the page and moved because the person does have notability. 30 million followers on TikTok is not a low amount in my point of view. But as I said I was not aware of that. And I also have nothing to do with that author just to be clear. Meio2934 (talk) 19:52, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

  As you can see here TikTok He does have notability in the public. Charlie D’amelio also came from the same source Meio2934 (talk) 19:58, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

The number of TikTok followers has absolutely no influence on notability. Theroadislong (talk) 21:02, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

In response to your assertion that TikTok follower count has no bearing on notability, it’s all in perspective, for you someone could have no notability in your eyes. But in someone’s else’s yes. While follower count alone does not define notability in its entirety, it can significantly contribute to a person’s influence and public recognition. For example, individuals like Charli D’Amelio have used her substantial TikTok followings to build successful careers, attract media attention, and secure partnerships with major brands.

Follower count serves as a metric for reach and impact, both of which are essential elements of notability. Meio2934 (talk) 22:02, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

No they are not...please read WP:GNG. Theroadislong (talk) 22:04, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes they are, not in it’s entirely but they are. Someone can have notability without follower and can also have with it. Meio2934 (talk) 22:08, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

I do understand what you are saying whatsoever, but follower do count as a form of notability. Not enough for a Wikipedia page but it is a form of notability. Meio2934 (talk) 22:09, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Clearly we are discussing notability in Wikipedia terms here! Theroadislong (talk) 22:19, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

• Delete: very weak sourcing and major WP:BLP problems. Restricting attention to the best available sources give us a WP:BLP1E situation at best. 100.36.106.199 (talk) 01:51, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
• Comment. I've made an effort to remove the poorly sourced content, including the removal of non-notable names who were accused of crimes, editorializing, original research, and content sourced from user-generated content. The only reliable sourcing that would establish notability for Krol is about allegations of child sexual misconduct. As it stands, the article is dangerously close to becoming an WP:ATTACK page. I think this AfD should be withdrawn and the article WP:G10'd. Svampesky (talk) 02:20, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
