Bang Xiao

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not meet WP:GNG. Independent coverage is limited to a news story from late November about Xiao being harassed by internet trolls. While the story did get picked up by a few different networks, the amount of biographical information about Xiao across these reports is insufficient to justify the creation of an article. Having been nominated (and not winning) an award of unclear prominence falls short of WP:ANYBIO. signed,Rosguill talk 23:25, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:BLP1E as subject is mentioned as qualifying for in nomination. Caradhras Aiguo ( leave language ) 23:40, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete is what I'm leaning towards. At its current state, the article has no strong, secondary sources. The 'internet trolling/rape threats' references are linked to a dubious corporation with a history of fabricating reports. (I did some further google searching, & did not find a reputed/notable outlet covering the alleged trolling.) It'd be nice if there are reliable reports mentioning him, but there's no evidence currently shown here. Donkey Hot-day (talk) 06:57, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete This violates the one event rules and probably the not news rules as well.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:47, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above. Badly sourced WP:V and BLP1E violations. Bearian (talk) 15:28, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep/Comment  There are tons of info about this person on the web. More research needs to be done in order to find strong significant coverage. MISSIONgreen&#61;SILVER (talk) 04:54, 16 December 2020 (UTC) MISSIONgreen=SILVER
 * The reference in question is the subject's profile on the website of the news organization that they work for, which is neither secondary nor independent. signed,Rosguill talk 05:51, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and above. Kolma8 (talk) 18:16, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
