Ted Fang

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Irrelevant businessman not meeting WP:GNG with little to no significant coverage beside being listed in a magazine "power list", an interview, and news of their chain acquiring franchise rights. Seloloving (talk) 02:07, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: Does not meet WP:BASIC, People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. --Whiteguru (talk) 02:21, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. References are adequate. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:38, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I'd say the references are decidedly iffy, because they're all mostly in the style of interview write-ups, and although Mr Fang has probably been honest about himself, that makes them dangerously close to being primary sources, not secondary. Elemimele (talk) 07:37, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Extensive use of interview-like sources (which border on WP:PRIMARY) and non-independent sources do little to convince me that the subject meets WP:GNG. The article's sources concerning the firms he was involved with confer more notability to these firms than to him. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 12:47, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
