Article is written like an advertisement, and does not establish the notability of the subject. A web search reveals little information on him from reliable third-party sources. Taiwantaffy (talk) 07:24, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete There might be some notability in the TV work, but maybe not. Sounds like he's basically a news anchor, and similar articles are sometimes kept but often deleted. In any case nothing is referenced, the article is basically a resume, and it's written so poorly that it often borders on nonsense. I'd reconsider if someone wants to bother with a total rewrite, but as written Wikipedia would definitely be better off without this article.

Keep. TV host. Author. Every minor TV show co-host on CNBC has their own page as a precedent.Cookiehead (talk) 18:18, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Appears to be run of the mill news presenter and scholar. No sources, so article can be BLP prodded. Searches for Tom Wang mostly refer to others. Vanity page and promotional piece. Christopher Connor (talk) 01:01, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
