Declined PROD. Non-notable singer; I can find no coverage by anybody (although this may be a language issues). References, even if non-English, are needed to prove the subject's significance. Also potential BLP issue. I'd be willing to withdraw this if sources are found. Mm40 (talk) 12:45, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Seeing how this can easily be a language issue, I'm quite sad to see this was nominated rather than put in front of a Thai WikiProject or Wikipedians who speak the language. By the way, this is not a BLP issue. BLP issues are about contentious material. This is unreferenced, but in no way disparaging or otherwise problematic to the point it could cause a lawsuit which is what this BLP rule was made for. - Mgm|(talk) 12:40, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * For one, I added this to the list of Thailand-related deletion discussions, which is presumably watched/check up on by Thai editors. Also, while I know it is not a BLP issue at the moment, it it's an unreferenced—and probably not widely watched—BLP, which tends to attract disparaging material. I tend to heir on the side of deletion when it comes to borderline unreferenced BLPs. Cheers, Mm40 (talk) 20:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Google the name in Thai and you get 500000 hits, so he is far from unnotable, he is only virtually unknown outside Thailand. The article needs references and some more content, but that is no reason to delete it. andy (talk) 21:09, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep.

 * Delete - The article as currently written is a clear delete - it does not cite any references or sources. If Paul_012 or Bdt1 care to add them then that could change, absence that - delete or move to user space for more work to be done on it. Codf1977 (talk) 11:17, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It was my understanding that we expand stubs, not delete them. I'm not up to researching this subject right now, but that shouldn't be relevant, because AfD is not a venue to request article improvement. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:08, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I Think you missunderstand my point - I was not requesting article improvement - mearly pointing out that the artical does not, as written now, demonstrate notability as there are no references or sources, if you or Bdt1 can find any to add then my view (to delete) could change.

 * Delete as is based on WP:V. This is the English language version. If I can't read it, I can't consider it verifiable. If verifiable sources become available, then I might consider changing. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:48, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
