Speedy deletion nomination of Alan, Chan Yau Kin


A tag has been placed on Alan, Chan Yau Kin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. WWGB (talk) 07:51, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Deletion
Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. Although you gave references, many were either not independent or were of low quality. Blogs, Wikipedia pages and social media are never acceptable, the ambassadors page seems to be written on behalf of its members, and some of the other sites seem of dubious independence or reliability. He may well meet the notability criteria, but if so you should be able to beef up the refs with eg mentions in local or international other than interviews with him
 * More of a problem is it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of claims presented as fact but referenced only to a Wikipedia article include: The fusion of Oriental and Western cultures in contemporary graphic presentation is a dominant theme in Chan's creative work. He successfully captures the spirit of these cultures and reinterprets them in his own unique style, offering a rediscovery of traditional Chinese art and culture through a different perspective. Through his experience in creative industry, Chan infuses his understanding of the commercial market into the creative work, leveraging corporate and brand images that breakthrough from market conventions. Chan’s wide portfolio of work has deeply influenced the younger generations, and Chan has been widely recognized for breaking cultural barriers between the East and the West. &mdash; that's just one paragraph. It contains no facts whatsoever, and is just a press release style string of one-sided opinions. The rest of the article is much the same, eg is well acclaimed by the success... work has been continuously sought... a total branding solution. Spam, spam, spam
 * Some of your text comes close to copyright violation. I note that at least The fusion of Oriental and Western cultures in contemporary graphic presentation is a dominant theme in Chan's creative work is almost verbatim from his website. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that he is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

The problem with writing COI biographies is that it's difficult to avoid self-promotion and puffery. If you try again, you need to improve the references, stick to facts rather than opinions and promotion and avoid weasel words. Thanks Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:15, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
