Blake Coppelson edit
Welcome, again. By all means write an article about Coppelson. As you are new, I suggest that you use the WP:Articles for creation process, which will allow you to make a draft which can be reviewed by an experienced user, who will either accept it or give you feedback.
Read WP:your first article for advice. Wikipedia's test for inclusion is called Wikipedia:Notability and looks for references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, all places where anyone can post anything without any editorial control; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with him thought him significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Wikipedia:Notability (summary). Interviews where he talks about himself help, but don't count for as much as articles where somebody independent writes about him.
If his main claim to fame is his Youtube channel, and there is more independent coverage of that, it might perhaps be better to make an article about the channel, with a redirect from his name to the channel article.
