BLP does not have enough secondary sourcing to establish notability. I looked through books, newspaper articles and website but I did not find any secondary sources which discuss Dan Chan's life and career in detail. Binksternet (talk) 03:08, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Not sure how to attribute. Please see this video for news sources and clippings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpM6KzKjAqU Dan is one of the few magicians who perform internationally for celebrity clients and billionaires. 3 times in Washington DC and 4 times in Japan, Las Vegas multiple times, Arizona, Portland. Dan has also been featured on Groupon six times, Living Social, Amazon Local and Google Offers. Please do a google search for Dan Chan Groupon.

 * Comment (unrelated). "Known for magic, pickpocketing" "Dan was an early employee at PayPal." That's all czar   &middot;   &middot;  03:30, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete, does not pass our entertainer notability guidelines. Does magic at places like "Dynasty Seafood Restaurant".  I'm not gonna knock that, we all have to make money somehow, but it's pretty unambigiously short of any reasonable expectation of notability for a general-interest encyclopedia.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. I Was waiting to see if more sources showed up, but it doesn't look likely. The only halfway decent source is three local awards in 2007, and that's not nearly enough. Grayfell (talk) 02:20, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Sources I've seen for Dan Chan the Magic Man are either self-sourced, you-tubey stuff, commercial promotions, and such which does not count towards the multiple, independently published material dealing substantially with the subject necessary for a passage of the WP:General Notability Guideline. @DanielGChan, in the future as newspaper features etc. arise, clip and attribute; when you get three or four of them together, get in touch with another Wikipedian to help restart the page. Apologies, but this looks to be a GNG fail from my quick spin around the internets... Carrite (talk) 18:09, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
