Yao Si Ting

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND.

There were two sources on the page, but the second source was a "wiki" (last.fm wiki bio) (Yao Si Ting Biography) and the second source was almost a direct copy from the wiki ( - is a dead link, archive). I am sure that the wiki was copied (and not the other way round), as the wiki page was last edited in 2012 and the source was first archived in 2015. Also this source does not seem very reliable either.

Looking through Google only gives pages which have limited information, which only contain the names of the four albums she has produced, usually in a online shop format. This means that these sources are pretty much useless, as they support pretty much nothing. These sources also don't define notability. Also these sources nearly all the time are not independent (as they offer ways to buy, through them, her albums). She does not meet WP:BAND on any of the criteria, which underlines the problem with the lack of notability and sources. I have tried to look for other wiki pages for her from other language wikipedias (for sources I could not find), but could not find any.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Agree with nominator who did a thorough WP:BEFORE, fails each and every WP:BAND criteria. It's a shame because her albums are apparently well-received, both in China and abroad. (Interestingly, "Yao Si Ting" gets a lot more Google hits than her Chinese name, which is quite unusual for a Chinese singer.) Timmyshin (talk) 23:13, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete/Draftify This is a BLP with no references which is a "draftify" at a minimum. I can't find a significant major RS on the subject and confirm the proposer's WP:BEFORE work.  However, I could not work out the Chinese references and perhaps there is some there.  However, at a minimum, it is a "draftify". Britishfinance (talk) 20:42, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment There don't appear to be many sources on her, even in Chinese e.g. . It seems that one of her album was nominated for an award . Not quite sure if that qualifies her under WP:MUSICBIO #8 (a bit confused if the award is the Golden Melody Awards or another similar sounding one). Leaning delete because of the paucity of sources.

 * That's not the Golden Melody Awards, just a mainland shanzhai version. Timmyshin (talk) 00:11, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
