Maria Chen

This is a slightly strange one. This appears to be a disambiguation page that has growed like Topsy into a three-part article on three different Marias Chen. I reached it via Special:Random and attempted to clean it up. But that failed dismally through lack of sources. I can confirm that: My gut feeling is that this is a tear-it-up and start-again situation: delete the current overgrown dab page and let editors with sources create one or more of these Marias as required. But there's nothing I could make of them within Wikipedia standards. ➨ REDVEЯS is a satellite and will be set alight 12:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * actress-Maria exists and she appeared in 1995's Miss Hong Kong, but the rest of the information is unverifiable; the result of making this the article would be a sub-stub lacking in a proven assertion of notability
 * several fashion-Marias exists, the main one being London-based and Taiwan-born, says Google, rather than American; the rest of the information given appears to be a mix of this US-Maria, the Brixton-Maria and a further Maria, Maria Chen-Pascual. So I'm at a loss as to which makes for a referenced, notability-asserted article
 * corporate-Maria exists and gave a few thousand to John Kerry, but her company doesn't appear notable in and of itself; the sources for corporate-Maria are mostly self-listings in directories and the like. This does not make for a promising article
 * Delete - the nominator has summed it up right. JohnCD (talk) 14:16, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and allow editors to re-create articles with sources per nom. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
