Timmy Tan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

BLP article which fails WP:BIO. Article created by SPA account User:Jrumali who has been blocked several times for edit warring, ignoring wikipedia policies and adding huge amounts of non sourced puffery. Likely a shill/paid editor or the person himself, the article has been pumped up with a massive amount of puffery, recently removed with almost no sources. Of the three source, 2, is invalid, 1 and 3 mention him by name. Zero notability. scope_creep (talk) 11:18, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: Notability is not inherited from being born into a particular family group, and coverage such as "Another younger son, Timmy Tan, is helping out with one of the family’s food ventures and running his own La Isla magazine for the family’s airline." (PhilStar 2010) is of that ilk. Google does have a couple of honours being awarded, such as tend to fall on the already privileged. I suppose the question is whether a professorship award from an "International University of Cooperative Education Niedersachsen" is notable? Surprisingly, Highbeam, which has decent coverage of Philippines media, is finding next to nothing (a name-check in a wedding anniversary guest list in the Manila Bulletin). I don't think there is enough here to demonstrate individual notability. AllyD (talk) 16:20, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
