Is this designer sufficiently notable? Based on article, maybe, but there's insufficient information to show so. Delete unless notability shown. ---Nlu (talk) 14:59, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete The only claim to notability seems to be that her clothes "were often worn by many Bengali and Assamese actors during the 90's", which is not only unsourced but also insufficient for WP:BIO. Googling for yields nothing useful, but since the name itself is relatively common, it is possible that I missed something. So keep the nomination open for 5 days but delete unless sources are found that establish notability. Abecedare (talk) 22:53, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: did you try searching with "art director" instead? Ottre 02:47, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No I didn't, I tried only (which is too broad) and . Googling for  doesn't seem to provide any links related to this person. Do you see anything useful ? Abecedare (talk) 03:54, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know what to look for, haven't read the article. Film Index International turns up a few results for the art director, none for a "fashion designer" named Yi Zhang. Ottre 18:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't see independent third party sources to show that his person is really prominent. --Artene50 (talk) 01:30, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, you do not need to know someone for him/her to be notable.--hnnvansier (talk) 13:04, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability not established, no references.--GDibyendu (talk) 17:14, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I really do not see how we can keep this unless somebody can find some source of some sort--I am willing to be very flexible to avoid cultural bias, but there has to be some actual evidence of at least existence. I cannot believe that a notable designer of costumes for the cinema left no traces. DGG (talk) 01:56, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as per DGG. Ottre 18:32, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
