Chua Yeow Kee

According to this article, he never took part in any Karate tournament. He can't be grouped as a sportsman. He is a karate teacher in his own academy. He is not any National or state level coach. And I didn't find anything in search. Greek Legend (talk) 12:22, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG. No mention in any news source. Only a couple of websites have his profile (among profiles of other coaches). No indication of notability. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:19, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No significant or independent coverage and no real claims of notability. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE. Mdtemp (talk) 08:19, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not Delete This Article should not be deleted as although it is not stated in the articles, he has participated and represented Singapore in many competitions, one of them being the Third World Open Karate Tournament in Tokyo as reported by Singapore newspaper "The Straits Times" TimesSport Section December 1, 1983. The reason why there is not much online resources for more information on Chua Yeow Kee is because he was most active when he was around 20-30 years old which is more than 30 years ago at a time where there was no internet yet, especially in Singapore which only became independant in 1965. Chua Yeow Kee was also known as Singapore's Top Oyama (Masutatsu Oyama) Karatekas, as reported by Singapore newspaper "The Straits Times" TimeSport Section December 1, 1983. 99gohdaniel (talk) 13:18, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He lacks the significant independent coverage required to meet WP:GNG. Links to his clubs do not satisfy GNG, nor does appearing at a karate tournament many years ago (even if documentation was presented). He appears to fails both WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE.

Delete - No indication of notability. Agree with Papaursa, even if he did participate in competitions and it was supported in reliable sources, that doesn't qualify for notability. Meatsgains (talk) 00:06, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
