Fails WP:GNG. All references non-reliable and not independent sources and the article has a strongly promotional tone. Article was previously deleted via AfD so it might be a candidate for Speedy Deletion via WP:G5 and I'd definitely recommend WP:SALTing. GPL93 (talk) 19:17, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the two sources left (after I trimmed a lot of promotional text) are both Blurb. This is pure promotion, entirely lacking wiki notability. Speedy and salt if possible (both Christopher C. Lee and Christopher Lee (photographer)).ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:03, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTPROMO, absence of WP:RS.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:59, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt as unambiguous WP:PROMO resurrected from the sandbox copy stored by blocked user Siavash1398 [1]. The creator of this latest iteration has already been blocked for socking [2]. Bakazaka (talk) 22:11, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No credible sign of notability. That problem aside. . . .

Let me quote the version of 3 February 2019, at 01:37 (and therefore before deletion at AfD):

Christopher C. Lee was born to Taiwanese parents, Jeff Lee and Ai-Ling Tracy Chuang, in San Jose, California. His parents immigrated to California from Taipei, Taiwan and lived in Fremont during his childhood.

He began to develop an interest in various forms of artistry and was heavily involved in street art and hip hop. He immersed himself into streetwear, graffiti and urban culture through exposure to underground artist exhibitions and fashion shows. He conversed with Haight Street, San Francisco artists and designers to gain more knowledge. Growing up in his teenage years, he was known for being a polymath. He excelled in many topics such as physics, mathematics, philosophy, dance, fashion design, computer science, photography, cinematography, business and marketing.

By contrast (or not), here's the current version:

(From which I've removed one reference, to a book by the biographee and self-published via Blurb, Inc..)

Therefore yes, this qualifies for deletion as an improper re-creation or as a creation by a blocked user. The article was re-created by Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Alexkia1399 and I imagine that it will be re-re-created by some other sockpuppet if not salted. -- Hoary (talk) 08:16, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PS In the wordy message immediately above, I forgot to emboldify the important bits. So here you go: Delete and salt. -- Hoary (talk) 13:53, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - he's one of millions of vendors for these Fortune 500 companies. Bearian (talk) 16:41, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I just removed the early life and education sections, which had a Google books reference that led to a BlURB publication by the subject. There's really nothing here source-wise. Article needs SALT.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:53, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I have added 2 links from Yahoo and Forbes. Both news articles has significant coverage about Christopher C. Lee that would satisfy GNG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.6.78.120 (talk) 18:00, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Adding these two sources is the same edit that has been persistently added to the article by numerous IPs over the past few days. Neihter help with notability. The first source is a Yahoo republication of an AccessWire press release, so not RS. The Forbes source is one sentence: "Photomochi, founded by Christopher C. Lee, is one such agency that deals with the impact of how visual media today can quickly and succinctly capture an entire message within a single frame or a short film." This editor has a lot of similar interests as the other IP editors adding the same material to the page.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:33, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
