The result was   delete. The consensus is that the criteria for inclusion is too vague (e.g. what counts as 'celebrity' or 'active'?) and that it fails per WP:MOSSAL and MOS:LIST  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 15:25, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

List of Hong Kong celebrities

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A list of names with an ambiguous selection criteria with no notability, per WP:MOSSAL. MOS:LIST states that "Don't leave readers confused over the list's inclusion criteria or have editors guessing what may be added to the list", which it does not. As 'celebrity' is a bit subjective as well as 'mainly active in the media'. How many mentions is considered 'active'? ... one, three, ten, fifty? For example Jay Chou is listed but he is Taiwanese and based there, he is of course active in HK media as are most other Taiwanese or Mainland China artists, eg Show Luo or Jolin Tsai, because they go to HK for promotions, concerts etc. But listing them as 'HK celebrities' is a bit of a stretch. I am sure most of the BLP on the list are notable but the reason for grouping them together is not. The list does not serve any purpose except provide a trivia list that is already partly cover by List of Hong Kong people, hence a bit of a WP:CONTENTFORK.

 * Delete as per nom; and as 'celebrity' is an impossibly vague term, inclusion here amounts to OR. asnac (talk) 13:45, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
