Fails WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG; no significant coverage of him in sources that Wikipedia considers to be reliable (see WP:RS). He has never directed or worked on a notable film so I can't even think of a good place to redirect or merge to. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 17:37, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

- Comment - if this article is kept, I will look to remove all of the WP:IMDB references as per our policy. BLPs shouldn't have so many citations to a notoriously unreliable website. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 06:55, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. I did searches for sources about Benjamin Gan (Chinese: 甘益光) and could not find significant coverage about him. I found coverage in multiple articles in https://mypaper.pchome.com.tw/yikung but the articles I reviewed were written by him or film reviews that did not provide significant coverage of him. The subject does not meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Two of the films that the subject directed were deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mr. L (film) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Secrets of the Lakes.
