PROD was removed. Rationale: "Non-notable person- he's of only local importance, and not the subject of significant coverage in a variety of reliable sources." Ducknish (talk) 20:13, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fixing fans is not in and of itself a notable thing. Coverage is not broad enough. If kept it should be renamed to the actual name of the person.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Based on comments at the talk page, this may be a school assignment of some sort. In addition, it's rather interesting, and sort of sweet: I could imagine a profile of this gentleman showing up in the pages of a magazine like National Geographic, and in any event this material ought to have a home somewhere on the web. However, that's not the test for whether an article belongs in Wikipedia. We don't keep original research; we need to see independent reliable sources that show that the subject is notable in Wikipedia terms, for example, to show that his "fan hospital" is recognized as a sort of popular culture landmark in Hong Kong. The source at footnote 6 (Google translation here) might qualify, marginally. So might this one [1] depending on the provenance of the website. I tried searching the string <"fan doctor" "Hong Kong"> but that seems to be almost impossible to get useful results. <"fan hospital" "Hong Kong"> was not much more fruitful. Will wait to see if more can be identified by Chinese speakers; otherwise, interesting as this is, it seems destined for deletion.--Arxiloxos (talk) 22:43, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
