[edit] Wing-Benn Deng

Possibly non-notable professor, page was deleted before. Was tagged for A7, but User:Corvus cornix and I think that this person may be borderline notable (see discussion on my talk page). There may be some foreign language sources out there for this person, but I'm not certain -- this seems to be just shy of an A7 in my book.

• Delete. Non-notable. Smacks of spam and self-promotion. android79 22:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: Don't think its speedy, but do think it is a NN self promo. - Rjd0060 22:30, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete Certainly not a speedy, for it asserts notability. any assertion is enough to defeat speedy. His university [1] is genuine ,and I think deserves its WP article. He may be notable in his profession. but I do not know the applicable standards. He seems to have no conventional publications that I can find. DGG (talk) 03:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • That may or may not be the case. Note that the IP who signed below as "Scarter" is probably the same as Scarter1, who started the Yo San University article. android79 00:28, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete Not a speedy. University is genuine. Credentials are genuine. Numerous Chinese and Korean articles accessible. Scarter —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.183.48.171 (talk • contribs)
