The one reference does not appear to be a reliable source, and the entire "background" section has had a citations needed tag on it for over a decade. I didn't find anything that looked reliable on a google search, either. This survived two AfDs in the 00s, but none of the "keep" reasons look particularly compelling by current standards.

If anyone does turn up a reliable source, I propose adding the information to Gigantiform cementoma instead of retaining this as a stand-alone page, unless sources can be found for the whole thing. (Gigantiform cementoma is a stub, and moving this entire article there would overpower it.) asilvering (talk) 20:21, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article notes: "If you saw the original Extraordinary People: The Boy with a Tumour for a Face (Five 9.00pm) you won't have forgotten the story of Novemthree Siahaan. When representatives of a Taiwanese medical charity happened on Novemthree's family in 2004 they found them shunned by their own community, who considered the boy's disfigured face a sign of some divine curse. Novemthree was actually suffering from a genetic disorder in which dental tissue forms tumours that distort the bones in the face. He had what turned out to be the largest recorded facial tumour and the first film traced his progress through four groundbreaking operations undertaken in a Buddhist hospital in Taiwan in which surgeons removed a kilogramme of the tumour, reshaped his face and gave him the chance to live a relatively normal life for a while at least. This heartbreaking follow-up film catches up with the family a year on from these operations and shows the parents having to decide whether or not to subject Novemthree to still more procedures that could just as easily end as prolong his life."   The book notes: "愛在異鄉的記憶近日,從歐美各國紛紛傳來關懷印尼巴淡島諾文狄的訊息,原來是BBC電視台,播出花蓮慈濟醫院團隊們為諾文狄變臉,成功地挽回諾文狄生命的專輯. BBC電視台記者針對病況尋求專家的佐證,專程前往美國明尼蘇達州的梅約醫學中心,訪問該院知名的整型" From Google Translate: "Recently, the memory of love in a foreign land has sent messages of caring for Novemthree in Batam, Indonesia, from European and American countries. It turned out to be the BBC TV station that aired the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital team’s face change for Novemthree. The album that successfully saved Novemthree's life. A reporter from BBC television sought expert evidence for his condition and made a special trip to the Mayo Medical Center in Minnesota, USA, to visit the well-known plastic surgery of the hospital."   The article notes: "令人悲傷的是，《河馬男孩狄文諾 》拍攝完成後，諾文狄於2005年9月14日去世. 腫瘤再度開始增生，醫生認為進一步手術的風險過高. 他的呼吸出現困難，最後終於導致死亡. " From Google Translate: "Sadly, Novemthree died on September 14, 2005 after the filming of "The Hippo Boy Di Vinno" was completed. The tumor has started to proliferate again, and the doctor believes that the risk of further surgery is too high. He had difficulty breathing, which eventually led to death."   The article notes: "罹患巨大型齒堊質瘤的印尼五歲男童諾文狄，經過慈濟醫學中心醫療團隊四次手術後，變臉成功，昨天出院. 諾文狄的父親夏漢昨天含淚向慈濟表達感恩，感謝慈濟讓愛子獲得重生. 來自印尼巴淡島的諾文狄，是罹患巨大型齒堊質瘤全球年紀最小、腫瘤最大的病患，看起來像「河馬寶寶」. 三月八日來到花蓮慈濟醫學中心，前後接受三次腫瘤切除手術及一次縮口手術." From Google Translate: "The five-year-old Indonesian boy Novemthree, who suffered from a huge chalky tooth tumor, changed his face successfully after four operations by the medical team of the Tzu Chi Medical Center and was discharged from the hospital yesterday.

" From Google Translate: "Novemthree knows that he looks different from others. He is very defensive and does not like being touched. Every time the nurse sucks sputum or cleans the tracheostomy, Novemthree will get angry and kick his feet. After days of care, Novemthree Wen Di gradually got used to it and cried less." </li> <li> The article notes: "印尼五歲男童諾文狄昨天上午在慈濟醫學中心進行氣切手術，由於腫瘤過大，手術過程中，護理人員必須扶著頭部進行，手術頗為順利，今天將進行頭顱部位腫瘤切除.

Today, the tumor on the head will be removed." </li> <li> The article notes: "諾文狄的家人曾在二○○二年九月帶到新加坡人醫會接受義診，當時醫生提醒「明天再來！」諾文狄的家人卻誤以為「明天不用來了」，使得諾文狄錯失早就診的機會，一直到上月十五日，新加坡人醫會前往印尼巴淡島義診時，才成就了遠來花蓮醫治的因緣. " From Google Translate: "Novemthree’s family was brought to the Singapore Medical Association for a free consultation in September 2002. At that time, the doctor reminded him that "come back tomorrow!" Di missed the opportunity to see the doctor early, and it was not until the 15th of last month when the Singaporean Medical Association went to Batam Island, Indonesia for a free clinic, and he achieved the cause and fate of his treatment in Hualien." </li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Novemthree Siahaan to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Weak keep Cunard has provided a large number of foreign-language sources. While I cannot speak for their reliability I am willing to assume good faith until someone familiar with the sources can provide a better assessment. Dronebogus (talk) 02:43, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment (nom). I'm not familiar with this newspaper and don't read Chinese, so I can't vouch for these clips myself. Either way, I don't think this is grounds for a keep unless a fluent Chinese+English editor agrees that they constitute a WP:GNG pass and is willing to rewrite the article from the ground up using these sources; if machine-translated articles are "worse than nothing", articles written by someone without dual fluency entirely based on machine translations don't have a very strong claim to being any better than nothing. But I don't see any reason not to write a short section using the facts from these into Gigantiform cementoma, even if it's done from machine translation; I doubt that the machine translation of even a middling suspect source is likely to be wrong about the base facts of the matter in this case. Really though, it doesn't look like there is actually a lot of fact here to make an article out of. "After days of care ... he cried less", for eg, is not going to be all that encyclopedic no matter how reliable the source is. So I think a redirect is still the best option. Thanks to Cunard finding Siahaan's name in Chinese, the bit in Gigantiform cementoma can at least be ref'd now. -- asilvering (talk) 03:36, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
