Shanlon Wu

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication of notability. This is either a personal advertisement or for the law firm. The two references are primary (linkedIN page and a self entry). The article itself is an over the top haiography by a paid editor. Peter Rehse (talk) 19:31, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep. Someone will likely need to WP:TNT this article to get rid of the promotional material, but it looks like Mr. Wu has received coverage in reliable sources. He is featured in this book about Bruce Lee, this Washington Post article discusses his work, he is mentioned in this report filed in the D.C. Circuit (see p. iii), he is quoted in this Forbes article, and he is mentioned and quoted in this article by the Baltimore Sun. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:07, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - I just don't think he meets GNG at this time. The Bruce Lee book segment is based on an essay he wrote for the NY Times in 1990 about growing up searching for Asian heroes. While a great article, it doesn't really count as independent coverage of Wu himself. And we don't have in-depth coverage elsewhere. —Мандичка YO 😜 13:14, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
