It is a bit of a mystery how this article about a fitness instructor stayed below the radar for so long – there is no claim to notability, and the only coverage in independent sources is in connection with the tragic accident that killed him. (There is also a trivial mention here, but that has no information about Shao, it just lists his name). I have attempted to find sources to confirm some of the claims in the article, but only come up with primary sources and Wikipedia mirrors. bonadea contributions talk 17:39, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - Lacks the significant coverage that would establish notability. The references in the article don't really do it.  The news article is a reliable source, but it really is about the family trying to return the body from Thailand.  It's a news item and not an obituary.  The second source is a directory listing and is useful to verify a fact but useless for establishing notability.  He is mentioned here but that is again useless for establishing notability. The best I could find was his youtube channel in a list of top fitness channels here.  That's way too little to clear the notability bar. -- Whpq (talk) 01:58, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
