Per WP:SPAM and WP:BIO (notability) Javit 15:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, Article creator suspected of WP:COI, written like a high-quality spam, notability questionable. --Javit 15:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and fix, Nominator changed position - The article was substantially improved by KP Botany et al. It is on its way to be well referenced and recognised as notable. Therefore I withdraw my nomination. --Javit 00:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment WP:COI policy clearly states that a COI is not a sufficient reason for deletion, so please avoid offering this up as a reason for deletion, poorly written requires other tags, as does spam. The notability may be debatable or not, but sources have been added, and it has been cleaned up. Please note this from the WP:COI policy:
    • How to handle conflicts of interest
    • ....Conflict of interest is not a reason to delete an article, but lack of notability is.
• Speedy Delete, zero tolerance per {{db-bio}} Dep. Garcia ( Talk + | Help Desk | Complaints ) 15:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete — Per db-bio. *Cremepuff222* "As cool as grapes..." 18:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup — The artist has placed or won in a major musical competition - Asia New-Singer Singing Competition - which is notable as it has over 262,000 hits on Google. ~ ΜΛGиυs ΛΠιмυМ ≈ √∞ 18:58, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or cleanup: Non-notable singer. ~ ΜΛGиυs ΛΠιмυМ ≈ √∞ 22:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - Could you give the URL to your Google claims please. I don't seem to be able to find such a thing. Also, I suggest you check out the website links given at the article page. My opinion is that we can't have every single MySpace sort of may-break-anytime-but-not-yet musician in Wikipedia. Especially with this sort of blatant advertising. Therefore, I hope you'll reconsider your position. --Javit 19:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Oops. For some reason, when I did the google search in my initial post, it had 262, 000 hits. Apparently I wasn't searching the competitions on the page. For this ignorant mistake, I change my vote to Delete or cleanup. ~ ΜΛGиυs ΛΠιмυМ ≈ √∞ 22:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

An editor just fixed the blatantly advertorial tone but the core issues remain --Javit 22:38, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep and cleanup multiple coverage in reliable sources (China Radio International, People's Daily, Sin Chew Jit Poh) clearly visible in the first page of the 11,000 GHits on the Chinese name. [1] cab 00:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Article creator Kinkylaney is a single-use account. --Infrangible 04:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment It stays or goes based on the merits of the subject of the article, that's all--even COI articles have to stay or go based on the merits of the article. KP Botany 19:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It's always hard to tell with pop stars, but for now I'm for keeping this one. KP Botany 19:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of China-related deletions. cab 23:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Signed singer that's mentioned in reliable sources. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 00:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
