 * Merge/redirect to Scholarism, the movement he co-founded, in lieu of deletion. Here is a source that verifies this: The book notes: "Many of the students who participated in the [Occupy Central event of 2014] protests were either inspired by, or connected to, the 'Scholarism' movement founded by Joshua Wong and Ivan Lam in 2011. Scholarism was formed as a campaign group of school students opposed to the proposed introduction of MNE. The curriculum outlined sought, inter alia, to foster a sense of 'national identity' and moral values associated with good citizenship. However, it was seen by its critics as a naked vehicle for promoting pro-communist and anti-democracy views as well as diluting the local identity of Hong Kong people."

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Merge/Delete?
 * Merge to Scholarism, which presently has no mention of the subject, who was one of the founders of the student activist group (along with Joshua Wong). This will improve the merge target article. The subject has received some coverage (see this custom search), but not finding enough coverage for a standalone article. North America1000 00:08, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - No context. Should have been speedy deleted. STSC (talk) 00:52, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The article says: "Ivan Lam is a student who together with Joshua Wong established a Hong Kong student activist group, Scholarism, on 29 May 2011." That is not "no context" and no speedy deletion criterion is applicable. Cunard (talk) 03:38, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Yes and yes. It should be deleted at first sight... under A1. STSC (talk) 06:53, 12 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge as suggested. Not a speedy--I agree with Cunard: If you can tell what the subject of the article is there is sufficient context, and it does more than repeat the name so there is content. But not enough for a separate article.  DGG ( talk ) 16:27, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
