Related to another recently deleted subject (Fong She Mei) Having a hard time finding English sources, and the Chinese and Japanese articles have no citations either. I think he might fail WP:GNG. But, perhaps a comic book person might know more! SarahStierch (talk) 16:59, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not appear in the Lambiek Comiclopedia. That doesn't mean this person is not-notable automatically, but it contains over 12 thousand world cartoonists and 34 specifically from Hong Kong, so that absence, coupled with a lack of sources of any kind establishing notability, leads me to vote delete. Update: Also nothing in these books about Hong Kong cartooning. Gamaliel (talk) 23:32, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - Doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. Also it is unreferenced, I can't see that the one link provided verifies anything about him, which I don't think is sufficient for a WP:BLP. It may even be eligible for WP:BLPPROD as it contains "no sources in any form (as references, external links, etc.), which support any statements made about the person in the biography".Sarahj2107 (talk) 13:14, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
