[edit] Carmen Yuen

This article is a vanity page and should be moved to a user profile page. Dredscott 05:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and userfy. DVD+ R/W 05:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. 700 hits on Google suggests some notability, and the article claims she has a Grammy-winning paper, which if sourced would indicate notability. In any case, the article needs some serious expansion, clean-up, and POV-removal. AmiDaniel (talk) 05:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and userfy. Skeptical of the notability due to various unsubstantiated/unsourced claims such as being a music scout for The Arcade Fire and Franz Ferdinand. Additionally, all external links point to autobiographical sites. Dredscott 05:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I think this article ought to be ammended in two ways. First, it should have some sort of weird roll-over graphic, like those ads for insurance that are an ear of corn and the kernels peel off when you roll-over your state. Second, I was unsatisfied with the exclusion of any information pertaining to the well known similarities between Yuen's life and The Da Vinci Code. 67.86.9.248 05:53, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and clean up. The paper was a runner-up finalists which won a $1,500 prize, according to http://www.grammy.com/Recording_Academy/News/Default.aspx?newsID=1760&newsCategoryID=7 , which is the official site for the Grammys. I will add a sources template box to that page, though. TruthbringerToronto 05:52, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Does everyone who writes a paper with award sums of $1,500 or more deserve an article on Wikipedia? None of the other winners listed by the official Grammy website have Wikipedia entries.Dredscott 06:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep But she writes books at age 21. Why delete this page and keep Marty Beckerman, for example? Or Kevin Chong? Maybe clean it up so it looks like the Kevin Chong stub. Knickerbox 09:01, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • She wrote a diet book. I would move to Kevin Chong as well on similar grounds of vanity. Marty Beckerman appears to somewhat notable.Dredscott 02:28, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I don't belive in userfying vanity, but I wouldn't complain if it is userfied. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:36, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, vanity. --Terence Ong 11:52, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Vanity and advertisement. Medico80 13:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I was originally thinking keep, but upon further reflection, I don't think she makes WP:N just yet. -- stubblyhead | ^T/_c 16:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I met her at Book Expo America, where she was signing autographs. She has big book and film projects in the works. She's a definite WP entry within a few months, might as well leave this for now. Contactlense 06:01, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Where can you verify these book and film projects that are in the works?Dredscott 02:24, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. NN, van. I suggest to the author to keep the article saved on a sub-page, and perhaps to submit in a year if this person has progressed. --Shuki 20:43, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
