Update: consumer Google+ is shutting down April 2, 2019. This will not affect your YouTube channel. The integration of Google+ and YouTube can be confusing, and sometimes folks assume that they can just delete their Google+ Profile and start over. Unfortunately, when you delete a Google+ Profile that is linked to a YouTube channel, your YouTube channel will be suspended (but can pretty easily be recovered ). Unfortunately if you delete your entire Google account, rather than just your Google+ Profile, recovering your YouTube channel can be much more complicated. Recovery of your YouTube channel requires you first restore your Google account, and only then can your YouTube channel possibly be restored. So, if you have inadvertently deleted your Google account and your YouTube what can you do?

Did you recently link your YouTube channel to a Google+ Page and suddenly see an error message that says "you are not eligible to create an account"? The only solution is to sign into your YouTube channel's linked Google+ Page directly, with the Page's username and password.
