  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. I added these sources to the article:
    1. Camacho, Melissa (2022-02-26). "Furze World Wonders TV review by Melissa Camacho, Common Sense Media". Common Sense Media. Archived from the original on 2023-04-10. Retrieved 2023-04-10.

      The review notes: "This energetic, kid-friendly series features Colin Furze figuring out how to create larger-than-life builds for activities like BMX competitions and music concerts. With the help of a team of expert makers, he's able to build and test prototypes in an effort to produce a result that's both functional and impressive. ... Nonetheless, tweens may still be drawn to Furze World Wonders thanks to his high energy, sense of humor, and edgy inventions. As a result, kids may not realize that what they are watching are practical applications of science and engineering principles to DIY projects. It's more entertaining than educational, but there's still something to be learned from it."

    2. Thompson, Avery (2017-09-28). "Colin Furze's New Show Is Great DIY Fun". Popular Mechanics. Archived from the original on 2023-04-10. Retrieved 2023-04-10.

      The article notes: "Furze World Wonders premiered Thursday, September 28, and features Furze touring the world, visiting fans in need. Each episode has a fan with a problem, and Furze solves that problem with lots of welding, hammering, and pyrotechnics. The show is a welcome change of pace for Furze, and not just because he's building things for others. Each episode is longer, around 21 minutes, which means more time to feature Furze's thought process surrounding his builds. Furze also works with a crew of builders, which ends up shaping each build in a different way and increasing the scale his absurd machines can grow to. ... While this show is great fun with excellent pacing, it might leave something to be desired for fans of DIY builds. While there's lots of focus on planning and delivering the builds, the actual build process happens mostly behind the scenes. The best thing you'll get is a few timelapse welding shots and Furze explaining how the finished product works."

      The article notes from Google Translate: "On Thursday, YouTube Red will launch a new series called "Furze World Wonders" starring Colin Furze, extreme inventor and YouTube superstar who has more than 5 million subscribers on his channel. ... The 37-year-old YouTube star will give life to this new production that will have 10 episodes and will premiere on September 28. Colin will put his invention skills to the test in order to help other people."

      The article notes: "Colin Furze is an inventor with quite a lot of brainpower to spare. As such, he bestows fans with his smarts to help them achieve their goals, whether they’re traditionally inventive or not. For example, in one episode, he helps a group of indie musicians try to become “rock gods.""

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Furze World Wonders to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
