Not notable: clear case of BLP1E, in this case notable only because he died young. It is possible that the YouTube channel is notable by our standards (as low as they are for anything in the news), but this young boy is not.

Delete as a pretty obvious BLP1E. I'm not convinced there's anything particularly remarkable about this death which merits an article.

Comment - The channel has over 1.5 million subscribers, which is pretty big by YouTube standards. Maybe a merge or some sort of article, because the channel seems notable.

Pageviews are not a reliable metric for notability on Wikipedia, especially since the YouTube views
can be bought. I'm not suggesting the views for this particular individual were bought, but data that can be manipulated so easily is not data that can be relied upon to show notability. -

Delete per above - Millions upon millions of people die every day ... Not sure what makes this one so special (Sorry I don't mean this in a dickish way but can't really word it any nicer than that!). –
