| Submission declined on 12 April 2024 by Bearcat (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Five of the eight footnotes here are primary sources self-published by organizations directly affiliated with the claims, which are not support for notability -- in order to be notable because of an award, you have to show that the award is a notable one by sourcing the claim to media coverage that treats "so-and-so wins such-and-such award" as news, and a person cannot get over Wikipedia's notability criteria for winning an award that you source to the award's own website about itself. And other than that, what's left for proper coverage in real media isn't enough to claim that he would pass WP:GNG on that coverage alone. Bearcat (talk) 23:14, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Aaron Reynolds is a Canadian writer and the creator of several popular humor accounts on social media platforms, including Effin’ Birds and Swear Trek. He has won several Webby awards for his work.
Reynolds began the Twitter account Swear Trek in July 2016, adding vulgar captions to screenshots from Star Trek episodes.[1] Part of the humor of the account derives from the fact that characters in Star Trek series rarely curse.[2]
In May 2017, Reynolds began the Twitter account Effin’ Birds, which pairs vintage black-and-white woodcut stock illustrations of birds with vulgar phrases.[3] In 2019, he published the book Effin' Birds: A Field Guide to Identification.[4] In the book he deliberately provides bad identifications, for example identifying a peacock as a "Hipster Pelican".[1]
