The result was delete. The only keep arguments appear to be done by a sockpuppet farm and have also been contested - with no rebuttal - for failing WP:ORGCRIT Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:04, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Kelvin Wu (financier)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The usual issues with a business leader vanity article. Largely reads like a corporate bio with hyperbole ("unicorn to be"). This is fixable, however the sourcing is insufficient for an article about an individual. It is a collection of press-releases about activities of the company which does not allow for writing of a proper biography for a corporate officer. The value of those sources for an alternative article about the company (AID) are equally doubtful. Therefore, raising AfD as failing WP:GNG and WP:BIO. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 07:05, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep A notable businessman in Hong Kong, China. There are many notable sources available online in English and chinese also and can be added to article. Instead of deleting can be improved easily. Doingitgimpy (talk) 07:45, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * your help in identifying those sources would be much appreciated. I take SCMP as the gold standard for HK reporting and the only sources I could find are around AID's investment in HMV, where Wu is sometimes quoted or mentioned. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:00, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I will be more than happy in mentioning references here. I just did a simple search on Google, and found many significant coverage about Kelvin Wu FinanceAsia, TheWrap, ChinaHollywood, Yahoo, Reuters, SixthTone, CUHK, AidFund, ScreenDaily, and Finance Yahoo Doingitgimpy (talk) 09:35, 16 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep As per seeing above ref, this person seems notable. Article should be improved further Zinzhanglee (talk) 09:56, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , I am not convinced that those sources are sufficient. This is a mix of company listings, executive profiles, press-releases and "business as usual" reporting about company business where Wu is inevitably mentioned in his corporate role. The report about his suspension following lapses at Everbright Capital might count towards notability, though it is fairly weak. Very few of the articles are actually about him as opposed to being about a business. One can assume that every corporate officer will be mentioned in press about their companies. Even if AID was found to be notable, this does not automatically translate to their leadership. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 11:28, 16 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep I understand what are you trying to say. These sources are full featured articles about Kelvin only FinanceAsia, TheWrap, ChinaHollywood, Yahoo, Reuters, SixthTone, CUHK, AidFund, ScreenDaily, and Finance Yahoo. While others for actually what you saying mentions is representing Kelvin for CEO of the companies like Legendary East Ltd and Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment Ltd. |title=Chinese Film Studios, Hailkatie (talk) 14:06, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * thanks for this. Those are the same sources mentioned above. "Fully featured" implies they are in-depth sources about the subject. However, they are largely PR and corporate business as I outlined before, falling short of "significant coverage". pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 15:38, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
