Thane Koi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No assertion of notability per WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:MUSICBIO; no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources. Speedy deleted once this morning on grounds of notability (A7), and I can't find any sources online to support the assertions now made of notable video appearances and modelling work. Proposed deletion contested by User:TK Productions, in whose sandbox the draft version has been edited by the article's creator. Altered Walter (talk) 12:47, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence of notability. In fact, in my opinion it qualifies for speedy deletion (A7, and arguably G11), but we may as well let the AfD run its course now it's here. There seems to be little if any coverage in independent reliable sources, but massive amounts of publicity posted to numerous websites, and this Wikipedia article seems to be part of the advertising campaign.

 * Delete Insufficient secondary sources to establish notability. Looks like speedy delete was tried and contested, so that's what an AfD is for. PianoDan (talk) 13:42, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete The article haven't got reliable sources. Probably it is perfect for speedy deletion. Samuel petan (talk) 19:24, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete until he is notable. This article was originally submitted to Articles for creation but was deleted as G12 (copy violation) after I reviewed it. At the time, I remember the article didn't have much information and more of "future and TBA" projects. It's unlikely he would have received attention as a young child for the commercials but possibly for the music videos and recent modelling (though not all models receive attention). However, I haven't found anything useful despite multiple detailed searches. It is also possible his album will receive attention but we can't guarantee that because it hasn't received any now. If he does, I would give him another six months to a year. SwisterTwister   talk  20:44, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
