| Submission declined on 24 January 2024 by Vrxces (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: Unfortunately the article is a stub that lacks sufficient depth and significant coverage about the creator as an WP:ENT to establish notability under the WP:GNG. I think the issue is that the article assumes Chris is notable as a sum of the coverage of his individual videos, only two of which are discussed in the article. The ape video in particular is already cited and maybe better addressed under the article Kanzi. The 'entire known universe' framing in the coverage of his space video isn't WP:PROMO but does give the tenor of sort of just repeating how the channel presents it, given that Chris is just modelling various planets and galaxies to scale rather than actually modelling the 'observable universe'. Chris is clearly prolific and talented, but have reliable sources discussed his channel and work as a whole rather than content farm summaries of his popular videos? If so, that is the sort of coverage that would probably help flesh out a notable article. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 10:55, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
