Delete. Fails notability. This is a former local school board member who was voted off the board for a business scheme involving other board members. SW3 5DL (talk) 00:04, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. So what about that? There are multiple references in the article including 3 Los Angeles Times articles. --do ncr am 01:16, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes and notice that they refer more to two board members. Hsu seems to be mentioned only as the guy with the service they were pushing. It's their wrong-doing as board members that is the subject of the LA Times articles. Hsu was already off the board. In any event, unless the business scheme deserves an article, then there seems no reason for any of them, including Hsu, to have articles. And they don't have WP articles. Just Hsu. Some of the edits on his page were not sourced and made accusations, which made me wonder if this page is really more of an attack page. SW3 5DL (talk) 01:28, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This page was started because of potential confusion with Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu. At the time this friend of Hillary in NYC became famous/infamous, anything you could find about "Norman Hsu" would be about this Republican guy in L.A. He was locally well known for many years before this bad guy pops up from NYC. HkCaGu (talk) 05:53, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN. We do not need an article about a non-notable person just because they share a name with a notable person. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:20, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Retain Following the activity of SW3 5DL, unfortunately he is taking a partisan approach to deleting wikipedia entries, with certain bias. Norman Hsu was one of the first and longest-serving Chinese American politicians in Los Angeles, which is surely notable. SW3 5DL tends to delete sources from WP pages then claim that entries should be deleted because the sources are no longer there.Wikiwatcher99 (talk) 19:31, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikiwatcher99 has been blocked for edits such as this, which are disruptive as they focus on the nominator with personal attacks and not on Wikipedia policies which would apply to the article in order to justify a "Keep" vote. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:27, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Local school board membership is not sufficient to pass WP:POLITICIAN. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:23, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
