The result was Keep - What an embarrassment of a nomination. IAR non-admin closure, take it to DRV if you'd like to overturn. Nominator hasn't even looked at the article, and has done zero research. Two time winner of Hong Kong Film Award for Best Action Choreography, high profile appearance in many films. That this was even nominated is a clear example of Systemic bias. Do better. hahnch e n 16:08, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. Seriously wondering what you are talking about. Google Books search returns dozens of books where Yuen Biao is mentioned. And that's only for English language books. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 08:20, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Reply. These books aren't about Biao they are passing mentions and don't establish notability. I know tons of martial artist who get mentioned in books but have no national news sources about them. Australianblackbelt (talk) 09:08, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: My initial comment was referring to your initial nomination sentence, which you have modified after I posted my comment. It read "A passing mention in one book does not establish notability." Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 09:27, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Question Are you suggesting that Yuen Biao is not notable or that the references given in the English language article are not sufficient to confirm his notability? Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 09:36, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Reply There are no news articles based on Biao to establish notability. Grandmaster Pan Nam was very famouse but because the are no news articles on him I can't write a wikipedia page about. him. Australianblackbelt (talk) 10:28, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't remember reading news articles about Charlemagne, but somehow his notability was established. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 11:11, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * well that’s fantastic now I can create a dozen articles for everyone I know if they don’t need news sources. Australianblackbelt (talk) 04:18, 23 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete does not appear to have attracted the requisite secondary coverage required for WP:GNG. Jamesniederle (talk) 12:05, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:ENT. Prolific Hong Kong actor and action choreographer, twice recipient of the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Action Choreography. Numerous mentions in English and Chinese language sources. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 09:51, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
