Fails WP:BIO. All the coverage I found is for namesakes and 2 gnews hits for his Chinese name. His industry awards don't really add much to notability. LibStar (talk) 23:55, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Redirect to Days Inn China (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. Preserving the history will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future and will allow editors to reuse the content for other articles such as Days Inn China, which Harry Tan is the CEO of.

  • Redirect to Days Inn China. A ProQuest search brings up a few results, but they only quote him or mention him in passing while discussing the company itself. My searches in Chinese were similarly unsuccessful, although it's certainly possible that I missed something. I'm thus not seeing a GNG pass at the moment. I agree with Cunard that a redirect is a reasonable ATD: redirects are cheap, and Tan is already mentioned in the Days Inn China article. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 07:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
