Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

- Comment: The article layout seems fine, however it does need some work on reliable sources and maybe notability. Otherwise, I don't really see any issues. ~~2NumForIce (speak|edits) 21:38, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Resubmitted without improvement. The Hindustan Times was already cited and included in the review. If submitted again without substantial improvement, the draft my be rejected meaning it will no long be considered. This is especially the case for this draft, again, due to all the previous disruption. S0091 (talk) 21:01, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: See talk page and also:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Massey Welsh (2018)Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JackSucksAtLife (2020)Given the previous disruption to the point re-creation had to be prevented by admins and the deletion discussions, the bar is high to meet notability as it needs to be indisputable so as not to waste the community's time with yet another deletion discussion. Also, I strongly caution against including any content where the only source is primary. These include, but are not limited to: his statements (whether tweets, interviews or what he has said on YouTube, etc.), government sources or otherwise affiliated sources such as the Guinness Book of World Records (which is not a reliable source other than to state the record. It should not be used to support anything else nor should the affiliated press releases). If a reputable secondary source has not bothered to do their own research and analysis about him, then lean towards not including. In addition, be very mindful of WP:REFBOMBing. Ten poor sources do make up for the lack of one good one. S0091 (talk) 20:32, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Content is being supported by a lot of primary sources and Twitter. These will need to be replaced with reliable secondary sources. CNMall41 (talk) 07:04, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: It should be noted that the article should be located at Draft:Jack Massey Welsh however that tile is currently blocked and requires administrator access to recreate. Dan arndt (talk) 04:14, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Recommend removing the subscriber info in the notes, it's excessive and will likely be outdated quickly. Youtube is not a valid source for claims such as date of birth or any factual claim, it can really only be used for self-declarations, and typically would be noted as such in the article (i.e. "according to etc [youtube]"), recommend removing factual claims only backed by youtube such as "boyfriend & girlfriend read their awkward first DMs!" and relying more on reliable sources ASUKITE 20:21, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Jack Massey Welsh (born 24 June 1996), more commonly known online as JackSucksAtLife, is a British YouTuber from Bishop Auckland. He was originally known for his Minecraft gaming videos, but is now most known for his commentary videos about YouTube Creator Awards, assisting other creators to earn Guinness World Records as well as his Tesla-centric car videos.
Early life edit
Jack Massey Welsh was born in England on 24 June 1996[3] and grew up in Bishop Auckland.[4]
Career edit
Welsh was originally known for his Minecraft content in 2016 when he was 19-years-old, attending conventions like Nethermined when he had just over 165 thousand subscribers.[5] However, he would later realise people were more interested in his comedy and commentary-style videos and moved away from gaming content. He also began making videos about his car, a Tesla Model 3 and in 2021, he had gained over 3 million subscribers across all his channels, after making YouTube content for over 8 years.[4] This new style of content from Welsh on his main channel, JackSucksAtLife, was described by Bloomberg UK as "whacky antics".[6]
In 2019, Welsh was selected as a guest at the 65th Insomnia Gaming Festival to do a meet and greet, which was held in Birmingham.[7][8]
In 2020, when Welsh had 1.3 million subscribers,[9] he acquired a Diamond Creator Award with content creator KSI's name on it, which he gained using an exploit on the Society Awards’ website, the producers of YouTube Creator Awards.[10][11][12][13] He also purchased PewDiePie's Red Diamond Creator Award and, separately, the briefcase in which it arrived in for £1,500 after it was found at a dumpster and listed on eBay.[14]
Welsh has created many different YouTube channels, all revolving around different genres of content and in 2020, he set a Guinness World Record for having the most YouTube channels with over 100,000 subscribers owned by an individual, which was originally 8, but has since increased to 11.[15] Due to which he also features in the Guinness World Records Book 2022 and 2023.[16][17][18]
He has also helped four other YouTubers earn Guinness World Records. He helped TommyInnit get the records for "Most followed Minecraft channel on Twitch" and "Most viewers of a Minecraft gameplay live stream on Twitch",[19] Dream get "Most subscribers for a dedicated Minecraft channel on YouTube"[20] and "Most viewed Minecraft gameplay video on YouTube",[21] helped GeorgeNotFound get "Most viewers of a cooking live stream on Twitch".[22][23], and helped the Sidemen get "Most viewers for a charity sports match live stream on YouTube".[24]
In January 2021, Welsh won FirstCar's "Young Driving Influencer of the Year" award,[25] after receiving over 75% of the votes for the award.[26]
As of 2023, he currently creates a variety of content across his many channels, with a large part of his content focusing on YouTube Creator Awards, Guinness World Records and other awards.[18]
