Big mess of an article. May not be notable, but even if notable, this article has self-promotion and copyright issues written all over it. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 14:55, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Yes, it is a mess of an article. Notability looks almost certain if not already established. Reference are marginal regarding wp:notability but IMO that is more reflectiv on the poos quality of the article I'm guessing that more sources are available.

Delete. Fails to meet WP:N with no reliable sources. Should not vote 'keep' while "guessing" that more sources are available. -- Wikipedical (talk) 20:09, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Needs work, but seems to have been acting since 1978. Not a flash in the pan.--Auric (talk) 21:32, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing to show he meets WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:MANOTE. IMDB (not a reliable source) says most of his roles have been as "Boss", "Referee", "Chinese ...", "Instructor", or even "Uncredited", but that doesn't show significant roles. His most notable role seems to have been in "Double Happiness", but even then the NY Times review gave him a one line mention as a "friend of Bruce Lee" (and notability is not inherited). He doesn't seem to meet any notability standards and the sources either lack independence or only mention him in passing. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 20:07, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see evidence that he meets the notability criteria for entertainers or martial artists. Astudent0 (talk) 18:32, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The wiki article says he's been an actor since 1978. A google news archive search turns up a mere six hits, all of which are just press release-type listings. Google books shows his name only comes up with directory listings (except the google-based books). There's nothing to write an article based on. SalHamton (talk) 01:23, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
