  1. ✅ article created July 29, 2025, so new enough
  2. ✅ it is 3300 characters, so longer than 1500 required
  3. ✅ the sourcing is especially good, as these are Spanish sources with useful English notes. I checked a few sources with a Spanish to English translation tool, and verified that they mirror the original language. I hardly know any Spanish language but it seems on target.
  4. ✅ It is well sourced, as every sentence and entry in the awards boxed is matched to a citation. The sourcing is first-rate. The story is neutral. I have read other biographies of Internet personalities, and they tend to follow the pattern used here of being young then making videos then parents not approving then posting content which viewers find relatable. The Earwig tool does not find anything, but that is not surprising considering that the cited sources are Spanish when the article is an English translation. There are no claims here which trigger BLP concerns, especially in the context of the good sourcing.
  5. ✅ The article is tidy and presentable with formatting features including an infobox, a photograph, an awards table, and appropriate section headings. It was missing an external link to the thing this person is known for, their YouTube channel, so I linked it. There was already a link in the infobox.
  6. ✅ The most interesting hook to me is alt2, noting that this is the most popular Spanish language YouTuber by subscriber count. The claim is matched to a notable source, La Gaceta, which is reliable.
  7. ✅ alt2 is short, 78 characters when 200 is the maximum
  8. ✅ being most popular on YouTube for much of the world is very interesting
  9. ✅ The image is a lucky find for being on another person's YouTube channel, and they are high-profile with 5 million subscribers and know what they are doing, and they put a wiki compatible CC license on it. That is all so unusual. What a great photo from a YouTube screenshot.
  10. ✅ The QPQ is done, is checkwise and orderly, and includes some commentary on the hook.
  11. ✅ There are no other issues with the article. This is a solid submission.

This is great. It can be featured with ALT2
