This person is simply not notable. The article was created by an editor with a huge history of COI articles and creation, most of them have now been deleted but this one remains. Nothing about the article, except pure fluff, denotes him as notable. The references are simply super local news reports on minor incidental mentions. Yes he's mentioned in the references, and there are local news articles about a fire at his place of business, but that doesn't make the person notable. I can find incidental mentioned here and there, but nothing that passes WP:BIO. He even self published his own book. I contend this is simply another case of COI creation for a generally non-notable local personality known to the original creator. Canterbury Tail talk 22:32, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. As Canterbury Tail has said, this article's creator has a track record of this. In this specific case, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Martial_arts/Notability under "Criteria supporting deletion": "Only achievement seems to be that they teach an art (or founded a non-notable art); perhaps also avoid even mentioning them in the article of the art unless they are one of a few high-ranked artists in an art that has thousands of students." Even based on the article creator's own evidence- itself coming from a source the quality of which has been much criticised- including at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Martial_arts#Felix_Leong, where the article creator's responses ought to raise an eyebrow- this is really all that can be said for Felix Leong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.223.102 (talk) 16:51, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete because the sourcing is not really about him and doesn't meet the Martial arts project. FiddleheadLady (talk) 17:08, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. In addition to the other editors' comments, with which I agree, I could not find a single IRS to Leong. There is IRS coverage of the (non-notable) fire of his gym; but the only article about him is the Adelaide City article, which doesn't really meet IRS but would probably work amongst several other stronger sources, but there aren't any. Fails GNG. I also note Grahame's relevant comments regarding the article's creator. Cabrils (talk) 22:41, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The comments regarding the article's creator were actually inserted by an IP and unsigned.--Grahame (talk) 05:07, 27 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. Practitioner/teacher is not very notable. Yinglong999 (talk) 06:11, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't believe the coverage meets the GNG and I don't think the notability standards for martial artists (WP:MANOTE) are met. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandals1 (talk • contribs) 02:58, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
