The result was   keep per WP:SNOW. Early discussion focused on WP:PROF but since the nomination started she has attained what the consensus of the relevant comments here shows to be a clear pass of WP:NPOL. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:36, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

May or may not be notable; I cannot evaluate the references. Though  presidents of impt colleges inherently meet WP:PROF, I don't think this applies to presidents of junior colleges.  DGG ( talk ) 18:15, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator - definitely fails WP:PROF.  Joel.Miles925  18:19, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete I've looked through the sources on the Chinese-language article with the benefit of Gtranslate and this appears to also be a kind of COAT article about self-styled democracy activist -- which is laudable -- but one who seems to be mainly known for her and her brother's efforts to sell rice rolls in a market, per this article. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:59, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't see any evidence that she is the president of any college. Has anyone found support for that assertion?--Bbb23 (talk) 19:39, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The translated Wiki article is here. Quite a few different claims, mainly as a democratic activist. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:05, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * That suffers from the same problem as the English article. The president assertion is sourced to a "not found". I don't believe she's the president of the university, and the college appears to have a director, not a president.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:25, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. KGirlTrucker81huh? what I'm been doing 20:13, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment She could of course be notable without being a university president, such as for her 'democracy' work. But doesn't appear to be there yet, even going by the Simplified Chinese article. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:34, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yikes! Thanks for correcting this, Bbb23 -- I had !voted twice. Lack of sleep. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:23, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment It should be noted that Lau Siu-Lai is one of the candidates running in the upcoming 2016 Hong Kong legislative election, which is being held tomorrow. She's running for a seat in the Kowloon West district. Not sure if she'll win or if that makes her notable if she loses, but it's just one factor to keep into consideration. --Rhapsodic (talk) 21:53, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah ha. Thank you. I struck through my delete, for now. If she wins her seat, I believe that would make her automatically notable. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:48, 3 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep: Covered by Hong Kong/China press., as well as numerous other Chinese sources, including Apple Daily, and The Stand News. Stats suggest that she could win a seat in Kowloon West. She is a professor in a university but she was primarily known for founding Democracy Groundworks, advocating democracy and encouraging youth to join politics after the Umbrella Revolution, for those who do not know about her.

 * Keep. Lau Siu-lai is potentially councilor, and she is widely discussed across the Web in HK and is widely reported by Apple Daily HK. But the article should be improved instead of deletion.
 * Speedy keep – she was just elected to LegCo. Citobun (talk) 03:53, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
