Nothing in this article is substantiated; the links do not support the information; the person appears to be using Wikipedia for self-promotion Haonhien (talk) 21:13, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

The person is also not notable, with no verifiable source. Haonhien (talk)
 * Delete. Unless there are sources in another language, there just doesn't seem to be anything out there that actually backs up any of the claims in the article. Of the sources on the article, the ones that would be seen as being from a reliable source do not mention him. The others are either primary sources or are otherwise unreliable. Even under a general search under his name brings up nothing that supports the claim, which is fairly telling. Normally people who are notable for something, as in the article's claims that Ky was influential with voice recognition software, would come up with something crediting them for that. There is the possibility that he has only received coverage in other languages or that he uses a slightly different name, but we'd get at least something coming up with a search.

 * Delete. Speedily. I just removed some of the more outrageous claims that weren't backed up by the sources. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the article is fabricated.  The Blue Canoe  17:49, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. The sources provided either don't mention the subject, are unreliable, or don't establish notability. And I haven't been able to find any relevant sources myself. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:11, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Apprears to be rather hoaxilicious. For somebody who supposedly made such a big splash during the dot com boom, he is invisible to the internet.  A 4.4 billion dollar cashout of Bright Networks and Communication seems have been ignored by media.  The reference listed for this is the NY Times, a reliable source, but the link is broken.  The link also look suspiciously similar to the second working NY Times link which is has ntohing to do with Joshua Ky.  The implied headline of the March 25, 1992 article from the NY Times calls the company Worldcom, but Worldcom was known as LDDS until 1995 when they changed their name to Worldcom. -- Whpq (talk) 21:32, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
