  • Ooo-er. I suggest delete and recreate from external sources, since he does seem reasonably notable... I'm not too sure about this one. riana_dzasta 05:50, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't able to verify the Emmy. Would you happen to know of any good ways to verify besides Google and the website at www.emmys.org? --Takeel 06:24, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
      • If he's not there, it's probably not real. Possible hoax. riana_dzasta 07:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - only 22 non-wiki ghits. You'd expect more from someone who's won an Emmy. Yes, a rewrite is necessary but I doubt the presence of reliable external sources. MER-C 06:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This Emmy doesn't seem to exist. There is an award for news or documentaries in new media, but it was awarded to washingtonpost.com for a Katrina documentary. A Google search for "Ming Wai Chan" -wikipedia brings up nothing whatsoever. (This could possibly be a romanization issue, though, admittedly.) Shimeru 07:03, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Officially emmy site, as well as another relatively complete fan listing shows no mention of this name or close variations. Unverifiable.SkierRMH 08:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - 42 Ghits is not-notable: if he'd got an Emmy there would be more: and googling his name + Emmy get precisely zilch. Clever hoax: nice attempt to scam Wikipedia; but Wikipedia is cleverer than you are. Moreschi 10:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete provide official links about Emmy Award or it is a hoax. Tulkolahten 10:28, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete This is really just SPAM for the fellow's new consulting company disgused as a vanity article. OfficeGirl 21:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
