Delete I can't find sources that confirm this in RS. Oaktree b (talk) 23:12, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. The Wikipedia article cites https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/jiafei. According to WP:KNOWYOURMEME, the source is user-generated and unreliable. The other sources in the article are user-generated sources from TikTok and YouTube.
The Wikipedia article says:
Jiafei is a TikTok trend that involves Chinese bot accounts reposting videos of attractive Asian women from Douyin while trying to sell products through absurd advertisements. The iconic Jiafei image is a photoshop of K-Pop stars Wang Feifei and Meng Jia's faces from the girl group Miss A. Jiafei has become a symbol of Stan Twitter and FlopTok discourse, and parody accounts have been created that use sound effects and satirical concepts like kidnapping through IP addresses.
...
Many of the bot accounts that migrated to TikTok from Douyin had usernames containing the name "Jiafei," which originally referred to the two Chinese K-Pop stars Meng Jia and Weng FeiFei of the group Miss A. The use of "Jiafei" to refer to both women in one name dates back to 2019 and 2020, before being appropriated by the bots.
Meng Jia's Chinese name is 孟佳. Wang Feifei's Chinese name is 王霏霏. Combining the two names, "Jiafei" should be referred to in Chinese as 佳霏. I conducted a Google search for "佳霏" and could not find significant coverage in Chinese-language sources about this trend, which does not meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability. The Wikipedia article does not meet Wikipedia:Verifiability because all of the sources in the article are unreliable, and I could not find even passing mentions in reliable sources about the subject.
I am willing to reconsider my position if another editor finds significant coverage in reliable sources about the subject.

Delete: Fails GNG, WP:NOTNEWS found nothing that meets IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. Just routine pop culture mentions about a tick tok meme/spam advertising trend - not an encyclopedic topic. // Timothy :: talk 13:22, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - simply not enough enduring, in-depth coverage to surmount either WP:NOTNEWS or WP:GNG.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 00:40, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Could be a notable topic should reliable sourcing be found, but as things stand it's not.Rupples (talk) 01:11, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
