Every source in this article is a breaking news source from a single day in 2016. Except two sources that postdate this, [1], and a few sentences in a “13 of the creepiest, most messed-up YouTube videos” listicle [2], but this is not enough for notability per WP:GNG. Also I feel like there is some sort of BLP issue with this on account of the fact that he turned out to have nothing to do with the crime but the sources connect him to it.

  • Delete The fact that the article is listed as a “hoax” also seems inappropriate, and leads me to agree with your BLP concern. It’s pretty clearly just a non-noteworthy joke video that people unjustifiably connected to a disappearance. If it were a hoax that was intentionally made for that purpose, maybe it would be notable, but its notability really only comes from a misunderstanding / internet panic that existed for one day, and that seems to have been obviously nonsense even at that time. I don’t see a justification to keep an article that implies there was something newsworthy about it.
