Non-notable screenwriter. Apparently an autobiography. Article was AfD-tagged without followup by another editor--upon inspection, I decided to complete the nomination myself. A search for sources only revealed Wikipedia mirrors, IMDb-type sites, and passing mentions. Note: @Singlebird: For future AfD nominations, please fully follow the procedures at WP:AFDHOWTO. Thanks. --Finngall ^talk 15:33, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm torn. On the one hand, the fact that Samuel So has produced so many notable films means that we'll create dozens of redlinks if we delete this article. But on the other hand, I literally cannot find enough coverage about him - as opposed to his many works - in reliable sources to build an article with a minimally acceptable amount of biographical detail. I don't know. In the meantime I've ensured that the Wikidata items of all his notable works link to the item about him, so that even if we delete this article that info won't be lost to future reusers.
