[edit] Ng Tian Hann

Ng Tian Hann (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Film director from Malaysia who is weakly notable against WP:BIO. Two movies (one was an anthology shared with 3 other directors) with no evidence of independent reviews, or any other "non-trivial published works". But he has gained "bronze awards" (not a main prize) from Malaysian Video Awards in [1] and 2003 [2] and the question is whether that's enough. I say delete. Mereda 13:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• I agree. Per WP:BIO, standards of notability include: Multiple features in popular culture publications such as Vogue, GQ, Elle, FHM or national newspapers, a large fan base, fan listing or "cult" following, an independent biography, name recognition, and commercial endorsements. We can't really measure "name recognition," but as for the others, I cannot find any features on Mr. Hann in magazines, I don't see any evidence of a huge fan base, I can't find any biographies (Amazon test), and I personally can't find any endorsements. Bronze awards (third place) at a notable film competition (for lack of a better term) do not make him notable, either. He would be notable if he had one first-place award and one third-place award, but the fact is that he only came in third place twice. Most of the information in the article cannot be supported by reliable sources because almost none exist. Delete. Srose (talk) 14:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless properly sourced and referenced i.a.w. WP:BIO by end of this AfD Alf photoman 21:53, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, requires additional sourcing considering it is a living person Alf photoman 15:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Most of the content was a copyvio of [3]; I have restubbed the article to remove the offending content. Found one non-trivial mention of him in a Malaysian publication; will keep looking for more. cab 00:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, appears to be notable enough. If it had been an US movie award, then this would have been easily settled. --Soman 10:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
