This is mainly a promotional, puffy piece about someone who does not seem to be verifiably notable. There's a mention here and there of his group, but that's it. He's obviously not notable as an extra or a martial artist. Drmies (talk) 02:19, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - obviously non-notable. Some of the "sources" don't even mention the subject. One is a LinkedIn profile and another is a Facebook status update - not a Facebook page, a status update! Don't know how you could consider them "sources" for anything at all, let alone "reliable sources". Stalwart111 (talk) 03:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as above. I also note that main author of the User:Yingykong is a similar name to Ying Kong the "Marketing & Social Media Strategist at Mind Warriors International Limited" See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steven J. Hill - SimonLyall (talk) 06:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Help - Hi, I haven't tried to hide the fact of who I am. I felt that both Wade Jackson and Steve Hill have reached notable status in New Zealand due to what they have contributed in their areas of expertise. It made sense to try and write a Wikipedia page about them. But obviously I haven't done a very good job. I wanted to maintain neutral and cover them as individuals in their own right not as an advert or spam. As this is my first wikipedia article, I would like to apologize that I've done quite a piss poor job of it. I would like to contribute to wikipedia in the future. Please advise recommendation so that I can fix any policies I may have breached and ensure that further articles are up to the standard that is required. yingykong (talk)

Response to help - yingykong to determine notability you should see Wikipedia:Notability (people) in particular WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO and WP:ENT. A lot of the sources quoted are primary sources and lack independence. I have had a look at the article and struggle to find anything that helps it across the line. The things I would be looking for are: in depth coverage in maojor media - ie NZ Herald, Dominion Post, etc for NZ or their overseas equivalents; are there any significant academic/media/entertainment awards; and/or is there any significant achievement. I hope this helps. Also, just because he doesn't meet the criteria at the moment does not mean that he won't in the future. NealeFamily (talk) 01:28, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
