From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. There is a majority for deletion, but not a consensus. Cunard who supported keeping the article provided a number of sources to support his position that Chase Tang meets the WP:GNG criterion of significant secondary coverage. While it has been asserted that the coverage isn't sufficiently significant, I find little in the way of arguments to support that position, and several of the later "delete"s lack much reasoning beyond an assertion of non-notability.

No evidence of any significant notability. The NETFLIX appearance which sources make much of, is for an uncredited part. This is also true of all the remaining acting parts. There is no evidence that the subject meets WP:NACTOR which requires that "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions;"  Velella  Velella Talk   12:45, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also this in the Toronto Guardian, a local online newspaper [3] and this feature on an Canadian entertainment program (like Entertainment Tonight) [4]. We're well in GNG, not sure ACTOR has been met. Oaktree b (talk) 00:39, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Coverage in the Epoch times, which is not a notable source [5] but it shows sustained coverage. This in a language that Google translate won't pick up, selecting Chinese, it seems to talk about him [6], appears to be a Chinese source from Madagascar, so unsure if it's RS.

  • Delete. Not notable. Retinalsummer (talk) 03:09, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I originally was thinking keep a few years ago when it came up for deletion on simple.wiki as there are a lot of localish references to him, but they do seem to just mostly be regurgitating his own words and are likely just articles paraphrasing a promotional release. So I have since changed my mind. -DJSasso (talk) 12:06, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There are significant articles about him in: Toronto Star, Toronto Herald, Halifax Saltwire, and a shorter CBC piece. I looked to see if these articles were mere copies of each other, but they are not. They do all refer to his "big break" part on a Netflix show - yet I somehow don't see this as BLP1E. I suppose if he totally disappears from acting sight after this one could conclude that. I'm still for Keep. Lamona (talk) 03:08, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

Later, he injured his knee in an accident and had to give up his dream of being an athlete."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Chase Tang (Chinese: 唐嘉壕) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard (talk) 10:12, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Most of the above sources provided by Cunard are insignificant and/or possibly unreliable. The interviews don't appear independent enough to justify the inclusion of this article. Is there something notable the subject has accomplished? See also WP:NACTOR; for point #1, this subject doesn't have notable roles in films and for #2, I don't think they've "made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment" (what I said about the sources).

Also, the user who made this article, Melaniewang, the user who made the article Chase Tang on Simple Wikipedia, Irene Germo, and the user who took this photograph, claiming to be a "photographer", Krisz Tarcsi, are all single purpose accounts. NytharT.C 06:17, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
