The result was keep. There is a strong consensus amongst the justified !votes that there is sufficient sourcing to satisfy BASIC, as well as avoiding BLP1E potential issues. (non-admin closure) Nosebagbear (talk) 10:23, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Co-nominating this article with Tiens Group. Article clearly fails WP:NBIO. Notability is not inherited. Luftfall (talk) 05:46, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Subject passes WP:BASIC and so passes WP:NBIO. See Meet five billion dollar titans of China... for example. Note also that talk of inheritance indicates merger not deletion -- see WP:ATD. Andrew D. (talk) 07:01, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ATD is not the sole resolution to lack of inheritance of notability. In fact independent notability is required to be established for articles to be on Wikipedia. Also, the sources only provide trivial coverage in my opinion. n.b. he's also no longer a billionaire. Luftfall (talk) 07:24, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ATD states that "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page. WP:ATD-M indicates that merger is normally preferred in cases of related topics. Andrew D. (talk) 08:12, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Editing, irrespective of how much it improves the article, cannot establish absent independent notability. I nominated this page for deletion, as opposed to merger, as I believe Tiens Group should also be deleted. Luftfall (talk) 17:57, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are large number of sources in Chinese - e.g. [1][2][3][4][5][6], in addition to those in English, I don't see how he would fail WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Hzh (talk) 18:33, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, though most of the English language articles are about the one event of the mass holiday, ther is also this 2008 article about him in the German Zeit Online, currently used in the Tiens Group article. He is clearly internationally known. Sionk (talk) 22:10, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:BASIC criteria, more than enough references. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:42, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

keep Meets WP:GNG, enough sources. Plenty of noteworthy information in article.Whispyhistory (talk) 12:49, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
