Based on the lack of references and the bizarre content, I think this may be a hoax. Walt Yoder (talk) 03:08, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting. Lots of comments (and thanks for your investigation) but we need more opinions of what to do with this article. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 06:57, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. I see lots of sources cited at zh:GAI and lots more at the Baidu Baike article. The article certainly needs some copyediting but I think there's clearly enough to meet GNG. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 05:15, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment - I browsed through the sources at the China Wikipedia article (zh:GAI) and several appear to be social media junk but others appear to be robust entertainment news sites. I recommend finding someone who is familiar with both the language and the sources in order to find if they are reliable and significant. If so, then clean up this article dramatically. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:47, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment after taking another look, this definitely isn't a hoax in the sense of WP:HOAX. I'm not sure if his appearance on two Chinese reality TV programs as a musician meets WP:NACTOR or not.  I have reduced the article in Special:Diff/1147461751. Walt Yoder (talk) 03:18, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I think this article is very imperfect. The information and references are very lacking. Not enough to give a clear understanding of the term.Roci xu (talk) 07:42, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * CommentThis is an article that lacks reliable sources, the article is mostly from unreliable entertainment news and it should be removed. And I don't think it's appropriate to use a stage name as the title of a wiki entry.--Lqy328 (talk) 07:46, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I think this article lacks too much personal information and work information of the singer. And the sentences in the existing introduction are not rigorous enough, which is very easy to cause misunderstanding. Modifications are suggested.Hhhh2 (talk) 07:50, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I think this article is oversimplified and the references cited are untrustworthy. It needs to add a lot of valuable content and look for reliable sources of reference sources.Ddccxl (talk) 08:06, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree that the article needs more information and more sources. Would you be interested in improving it? The issues you've mentioned don't justify deletion, because the topic is clearly notable, but it would be great if we can improve the article's quality. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:56, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep I can't find any sourcing, but if the Chinese language sources are on reliable websites as explained, I'd keep the article. Oaktree b (talk) 15:41, 6 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep but improve. I was one of the commenters above but we do indeed need some real votes. In my view, GAI appears to be a known media personality in China, and some editors have already removed social media junk from the article. We can keep it for now as a stub, but someone should recruit editors who know about Chinese media and can translate any reliable sources from the ZH Wikipedia article. Editors at WikiProject China could be called upon to help. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:45, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
