Tran Siu
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable person. Does not assert the importance or significance of the topic, other than an appearance in an Australian TV show which doesn't have its own Wiki. - The   Magnificentist  08:39, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete nothing seems to have changed since the last nomination. Mattlore (talk) 08:54, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep for now, he has some significant degree notability. Brimbank’s first Chinese-Vietnamese councilor. Also deputy mayor of Brimbank. He also made the news some time back, getting into trouble with the how to vote cards. Karl Twist (talk) 11:56, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete The last AfD was only 3 months ago, the article was deleted as a result and I can't see that anything has changed in that time. He wasn't notable then and doesn't appear notable now. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 17:50, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being the first person of a particular ethnic background to hold an otherwise non-notable political office is not a Wikipedia inclusion criterion in and of itself, and neither is being deputy mayor of anywhere. To get a Wikipedia article, a person at this level of significance has to clear WP:GNG on the back of enough reliable source coverage to demonstrate them as significantly more notable than the norm — but the referencing here is not doing that, as it consists of two self-published pieces he wrote about himself on user-generated content sites, two primary sources that cannot assist in building notability at all, one glancing namecheck of his existence in a source that isn't about him, and one blurb of reliable source coverage. That is not enough to make a person notable just for serving on a municipal council. Bearcat (talk) 20:18, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
