BLP of the inventor of the Electrolytic Self-Cleaning Water Pipe, who was once on tv. Nothing to indicate notability in Wikipedia terms. Mccapra (talk) 19:27, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

- Delete - not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG.Onel5969 TT me 20:42, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Keep or redirect - Keep, or redirect to We Came as Romans, a musical ensemble in which another Eric Choi performed. --Jax 0677 (talk) 21:09, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Delete His only claims to fame are being on a hidden camera show and a patent. Unfortunately, the patent search fails and I can't find any trace of it. Lamona (talk) 19:11, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reply - @Mccapra:, @Onel5969:, @Lamona:, why exactly are we opposed to redirecting with history in tact? --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:32, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- I do not have an objection to a redirect - except that it keeps getting recreated. If redirected, it should be protected from re-creation. Onel5969 TT me 16:35, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

- Reply - I also, have zero objection to salting the link. --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:43, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reply there’s also Eric Choi (disambiguation) which will be redundant after this is deleted and hopefully salted. The disambiguation page can be repurposed as a redirect once this is gone. Mccapra (talk) 16:56, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reply - @Mccapra:, why would we redirect Eric Choi (disambiguation) and not redirect Eric Choi? --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:01, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- We wouldn’t redirect it as a disambiguation page. If this page is deleted, we could turn the disambiguation into Eric Choi (We Came As Romans) or something and redirect that as a plausible search term. It’s not clear to me why we’d particularly want to keep the edit history of this page, but I’m not really bothered if it makes more sense to redirect this instead.

- Reply - @Mccapra:, I see no reason at all to even create "Eric Choi (We Came As Romans)". We do not even need "Eric Choi (disambiguation)". The redirect for "Eric Choi" to We Came as Romans was probably just fine the way that it was, and there is no need at all to delete the page history. --Jax 0677 (talk) 01:32, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
