 * Delete - unclear notability. Article created by single-purpose account with clear COI. Citobun (talk) 14:12, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. This person has received persistent coverage over multiple life events:
 * 1995: Received the award of Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the year in Hong Kong, verifiable by this page on the award website. He would have received mainstream media coverage (as this award does every year). The Singtao/Yahoo source below said he broke the record of the youngest recipient of the award (probably a good thing for a "Young Person" award!).
 * 2001: He was declared bankrupt. Singtao 2001-07-31 via Google archive
 * 2015 March: He received some coverage for an attempted bid of the now-defunct ATV. (Apple Daily) This article also gave biographical details of his early life and career.
 * 2015 December: He was on the news for fighting off burglars in his mansion. The articles also gave biographical coverage. Oriental Daily Singtao Daily via Yahoo
 * These would add up to pass WP:GNG's requirement for persistent coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Deryck C. 16:23, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep.- Please kindly access the youtube newsreel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3br0aigiKCI that states thas Thomas Chan Tin Chi is notable philanthopist, having donated in 1998 among others over 10 000 000 Chinese Yuan (over 5 million USD 2016 terms) in Tsinghua Univeristy enterprenurship fund to help students to create their own enterprises. He is a notable Hong Kong philanthopist. ECrent (talk) 16:32, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as my searches have found nothing convincingly better and this would likely be best restarted for better improvements, current article is still noticeably questionable. SwisterTwister   talk  05:44, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Per the reasons mentioned by SwisterTwister and Citobun. Will211  |Chatter  04:02, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article needs to be rewritten to remove its puffery and promotional aspects, but notability has been established. SST flyer 04:50, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * We can't actually keep this as someone simply hopes to improve it, and the current article actually has nothing to suggest these necessary improvements, and thus this is actually best deleted for now and then restarted whenever it's better. SwisterTwister   talk  23:18, 27 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep per Deryck. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 23:36, 27 April 2016 (UTC).
