[edit] Stephen Lin

What you provided was undoubtably misinformation, nothing much different from the AFD discussion. Granted; the two original incarnations were probably worse, but from comments made at the discussion, the one I nominated for deletion was very similar. Before placing the Speedy Deletion tag on the page, I searched the web for information. If this child prodigy had have existed (or been as amazing as the article made out) I would have found something. For what its worth, NONE of the sources you provided wear good enough - the myspace link (which evidently didn't work) wouldn't have been credible, and there was another link to a "freehost" site - which was only a reservation (holding) page. Please read the comments by Yay unto the Chicken on the AFD discussion page. Ultimately, nothing on the page you made was verifiable. The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. Booglamay (talk) 11:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
