Yau Lop Poon

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unreferenced BLP. All external links are blogs/personal sites, and all "references" are written works by the person detailed in the biography itself (WP:COI). Notability of the individual not established with verifiable and reliable third-party sources. --  李博杰  &#124; —Talk contribs email 06:25, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Suggest nominator read WP:BEFORE.  Type 'Yau Lop Poon' into Google and there are tons of references on the web and in books.  Meets WP:GNG.  Article is a mess, but subject is notable. Bgwhite (talk) 08:38, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - This is probably an intimidating subject for AfD regulars since the main sourcing is obviously going to be non-English. Even limiting oneself to English sources demonstrates that this is a clearly notable individual, a long-time editor of major publications. I know that so-called blogs don't get much traction at AfD, but when somebody is TRANSLATING TWO-PART INTERVIEWS of the man into English, that should be a tipper. Runner-up in the 2010 EXCELLENCE IN OPINION WRITING AWARDS of the newspaper society of Hong Kong. I assume that Chinese-language sourcing is vast. Carrite (talk) 22:33, 5 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. When nominating an article for deletion, one should also search for sources to check for notability, not just rely on what's cited in the article. In this case, per User:Carrite, some reliable English sources can be found. —Yk Yk Yk  talk ~ contrib 06:56, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
