Subject of the article fails WP:GNG. Been a member of a board of directors does not confer notabilty. All the sources in the article are trivial and does not discuss the subject in detail. The sources focuses on the organization (which passes WP:GNG) and notability is not inherited. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 17:32, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. This person is notable from the perspective of transportation. While many sources cited are local, it does not necessarily fail WP:GNG. Further sources search indicates the person has been sought after in multiple transportation field speaking engagements and interviews, in various languages. The presence of multiple video-based interviews in mass media, and also a Chinese name search of the person yields significant mass and social media coverage, in particular in the field of transportation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.77.43.225 (talk) 09:19, 3 July 2015 (UTC)  — 202.77.43.225 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete created by a single purpose editor probably for self promotion purposes. no inherent notablity in his job of deputy director either. LibStar (talk) 06:59, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep person is well documented in Chinese searches and so not sure why there are questions of notability in that sense. Entry should arguably be under Chinese language but notability in bus field and in Hong Kong is well established. Single purpose editor questionable but notability should be judged on its own merits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.203.246.28 (talk) 14:44, 8 July 2015 (UTC)  — 123.203.246.28 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * comment the swarming of this AfD by single purpose editors is a tell tale sign of conflict of interest. LibStar (talk) 02:10, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment The arguments put forth for deletion seem to center on single purpose editor rather than having fully assessed the merit of notability itself, in particular the newly added Chinese sources. As the author I cannot make further judgments on notability as I am very new to this – I just signed up and this is my first article.  But the fact is under Chinese (and some English) media this person is extensively covered on the bus/transportation and environment topics, therefore I don’t agree with no inherent notability.  I thought that under Wikipedia rules on sources, the language of sources does not matter as long as they are secondary and independent.  Please review those links and judge whether there is merit.  I welcome further debates on this but will leave the ultimate decision to experienced editors. asc 06:58, 9 July 2015 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elsie au528 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete - no claim of notability in the article, only trivial mentions in the sources. Subject seems to be striving hard to get some attention, but fails WP:GNG Kraxler (talk) 16:35, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
