Unfortunately, this article is currently too far from the GA criteria for a full review. The situation here is tricky -- it falls right into a lot of the reasons it's hard to write about Internet culture on Wikipedia, which is that the sources that are the most reliable in colloquial terms tend to be unreliable in Wikipedia terms.

Most of this article is primary-sourced to Youtube videos. This is Wikipedia-acceptable in some contexts, but not as used here -- the significant majority of sources are this, and the exceptions tend to be either primary (e.g. government documents) or unreliable (e.g. Wikipedia-laudering 'bio' sites) themselves. Only a few sources are all of secondary, non-self-published, and at least reasonably likely to be Wikipedia-reliable. There are enough of them to demonstrate notability, but not, as seen here, enough to write an article. In some cases these self-published sources also talk about other people, which falls afoul of WP:BLPSPS (a complicated policy in the modern age, but an extant one).

Simultaneously the article is very short, to the degree it's not really a sufficiently in-depth look at Nihachu's life, but it's clear the sources for a better one don't exist. Even with the heavy primary sourcing here, it's still only 600-ish words. Some of the stuff that's included I'm also unsure about. There is very heavy focus on Nihachu's mental health, and while it's clear that's currently a subject she's comfortable speaking about in these terms and doing outreach about, I'm concerned about whether she'd want her article to look the same way in a few years. Openness about mental health issues (especially highly stigmatized ones) is something people can waver on quite drastically throughout their lives, and are frequently moreso as young adults than elsewhere.

I also have some concerns about the prose, such as a heavy use of contractions and some overwriting (e.g. frequent use of 'would').

I'm sorry to quickfail here, and I hope not to discourage you from working to improve articles in the future. The sources don't currently exist for a GA here, but there might be other articles you could take to this level. Internet culture is tricky; I've written a GA on it, but for something much earlier in the internet's history, where there was enough time for more secondary sources to report on it. Wikipedia's understanding of sourcing is quite unlike the ones used in many other places, and it's not an easy place to write about it accordingly. Vaticidalprophet 07:58, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
