Marginally notable at best. Going through the sources given, they are all either tangential mentions in mainstream media, citations to things that don't confer notability or primary-sourced material by Wang. No listed third-party source gives substantial biographical detail, leaving this BLP constructed from subject-written primary sources and passing mentions. It is possible that "hacker hostels" are notable, but none of the cites about those contain anything other than passing mentions of Wang herself. A search for sources of notability didn't turn up anything substantial on this Jade Wang. David Gerard (talk) 20:50, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

edit: or a rename to Chez JJ (the name of her "hacker hostel" chain) per Megalibrarygirl - David Gerard (talk) 17:04, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep since a biographical sketch can be cobbled together by these tangential sources, I think the content passes.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:48, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Rename Passes GNG. There is in-depth coverage in these sources: Full-length Wired article about her and her work with Hacker Hostel [1], Paragraph long bio from Grace Hopper Foundation [2], and the New York Times felt that Chez JJ was notable enough to write about it [3],[4]. The coverage I've cited here and the other news sources in the article shows that she passes GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:22, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Speaker bios are typically written by the speaker, so that would be a primary source. Wired source says very little about Wang. NYT source says almost nothing. As I note, the Hacker Hostels might be notable, but Wang isn't - are you suggesting a rename? - David Gerard (talk) 22:35, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'd prefer a rename over a delete David Gerard. You have a good point that the Hostels themselves may be more notable part of her career so far. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:17, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as still questionable for the needed solid independent notability, current contents are not convincing. SwisterTwister talk 06:21, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
