Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Notability (people) says: People are presumed if they have received significant coverage in   that are,  of each other, and.   The article notes from Google Translate: "According to local media reports in Jinan, Cai Haoyu, who was born in 1987, is a native of Jinan. He attended the primary school in Jinan Baliqiao Primary School. At the age of 11, he was elected as the "first batch of junior academicians of the Chinese Academy of Youth Sciences". In 2005, he was admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University. In 2011, 24-year-old Cai Haoyu and [his co-founders] founded Mihayou after winning 100,000 yuan from the "Eagle Program" of the Shanghai Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center Student Entrepreneurship Foundation." The article further notes from Google Translate: "In the "2022 New Fortune 500 Rich List" released in May this year, Cai Haoyu ranked 73rd with a wealth value of 55.35 billion yuan. ... This is the first time that 35-year-old Cai Haoyu has been included in the 500 rich list. Among the top 100 in the list, Cai Haoyu is the only entrepreneur who was shortlisted for the single item "game"."  The article notes from Google Translate: "According to public information, Cai Haoyu was born in 1987, was admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2005, and then studied for a master's degree in computer science at the school. In 2011, Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao, who were in the second year of graduate school at the time, jointly established Mihayou Studio and started his business."  The article notes from Google Translate: "According to public information, Cai Haoyu, who has just become the richest man in Jinan, is the CEO of Mihayou. He was born in Jinan, Shandong in 1987. His parents are teachers who teach computer-related subjects. Cai Haoyu has shown a strong interest in computer games since he was a child, and he has also shown an intuition that is unmatched by ordinary people. After his parents discovered that he was gifted in this area, they began to systematically teach him relevant computer knowledge. With the computer knowledge he learned, in 1996, Cai Haoyu, who was only 8 years old, made "Alien Envoy" by himself and won the second prize in the animation group of the National Computer Competition. Two years after winning the award, at the age of 10, he was elected as the "Little Academician" of the Chinese Academy of Juveniles with his professional knowledge in the computer field."  The article notes from Google Translate: "Cai Haoyu, chairman of Mihayou, was born in a businessman family. Influenced by his parents, he had the gene for "doing business" since he was a child. When he was in junior high school, he was a little smart in Japan, he sold watches in high school. He opened an account to speculate in stocks when he was an adult. When he was in college, he could earn more than 300,000 a month. But doing business did not delay his studies. After graduating from Shanghai Jiaotong University with a master's degree, Cai Haoyu ran all the way on the road of entrepreneurship. In 2012, Cai Haoyu and two classmates from Shanghai Jiaotong University founded Mihayou, whose business mainly focuses on domestic animation mobile games, comics and other fields." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Cai Haoyu to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.
 * That's good and all but I don't think they have made a "widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field". Futher the whole article reads like a cross between a promo and resume. Just having money and running a company is not notable.  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 04:58, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * A "widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field" is a quote from Notability (people), a subsection of Notability (people), which says: "People are likely to be if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does  guarantee that a subject should be included. A person who does not meet these additional criteria  under Notability." Cai Haoyu is notable under Notability and Notability (people).

 * <p class="xfd_relist" style="margin:0 0 0 -1em;border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 2em;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep Merge - to mihoyo, which much of the current prose is more about. If someone can muster up a proper bio with reliable sourcing, I don't have a problem with splitting it back out. But we're far from that in the articles current prose. Sergecross73   msg me  13:28, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Revised to keep. Still not in amazing shape, but good enough to clear the GNG and avoid any WP:MERGEREASONs now. Sergecross73   msg me  01:34, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge - to mihoyo is a good option  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 04:47, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to miHoYo. Likely notable from Cunard's sources, but content is mainly about miHoYo and is better off there until someone wants to create an article that's more balanced about his life. Feel free to ping if anyone wants to try a WP:HEY. Jumpytoo Talk 07:48, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Thanks Cunard for the WP:HEY. Now suitable for a standalone article. Jumpytoo Talk 23:07, 19 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment: Within the next week, I plan to reframe the article to be about the person rather than the company he co-founded using the sources I presented here. Cunard (talk) 11:30, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * That's great. Feel free to work on it from the user/draft space if you end up doing it after this closes merge. Sergecross73   msg me  17:12, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment:, , , and , I reframed the article to be about the person (Cai Haoyu) rather than the company he co-founded (mihoyo). Cunard (talk) 07:51, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not sure how to close this discussion when the current article is radically different from the version that was nominated for deletion. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 22:09, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * This is a frustrating one, the article has improved but I still don't think it passes WP:NBIO. @Liz you know a lot more then me do you think there might be some subject area experts we could ping to weigh in? I'm not really sure where to start with something like that. I'm also willing to admit when I'm starting drift out of my lane.  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 03:28, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure User:Dr vulpes. I've seen this happen a couple of times where, during an AFD, an article isn't just improved but changed, in one case, to be about a different subject. I'm not sure why editors can't wait for an AFD to close before making major changes or merging articles. I'll ping Sergecross73 to see what they think.

 * I don't believe Cunard has done anything wrong - Ive many times in the past rewritten articles in efforts to keep poor/lazy deletion nominations. Not that this nom was either - it was a very good nomination for the articles original form. Honestly, I'm probably more of a "neutral" in all this right now. Cunard did address my main concerns...but at the same time, it's still a pretty rough bio. Which isn't to slight to Cunard either, I imagine the goal was merely do enough to keep the article, not write a comprehensive bio on the subject. And they didn't so much "change the subject" as much as they removed the off-topic stuff and added on-topic content.
 * Sorry, that's a lot of musing without a solution. Here's what we could try - maybe we relist it one more time, and I could leave a neutral note at WP:VG asking for more input because we're at a bit of a stalemate. WP:VG usually has a bunch of regulars that participate at AFD, and for whatever reason I was really the only one who jumped on this time. A nudge could help.  Sergecross73   msg me  22:46, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I have substantially rewritten articles at AfDs numerous times in the past too. I did so in this particular case because two editors (Sergecross73 and Jumpytoo) said they were willing to reconsider their "merge" position if the article was reframed to be about the person rather than the company he founded. Per Editing policy, there is more work that can be done to expand and improve the article, but I think it is in a good state now. There are detailed sections about the subject's "Early life" and "Career". The article no longer has multiple paragraphs about the company with little discussion of him. No editors have explained why the sources are insufficient for Cai Haoyu to meet Notability and Notability (people). The AfD has received sufficient input to be closed and it's not clear why this needs to be relisted. But if the AfD is relisted, I support a neutral note at WP:VG asking for more input.
