Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daiqing Tana

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. I can't close as merge to an article that doesn't exist. If Icebob99 (or someone else) wants to create an article about the band, feel free to ping me on my talk page to get the history restored once the band article is created so that any useful content can be merged.

PROD Contested by Article Editor , sources in the article all point to either somewhere where the subject's movies are being sold, or to YouTube, all failing WP:RS and/or WP:N , a search reveals only one source that may hold merit, this , but all it seems to talk about is a movie that he's in, and not the subject itself.

Comment A click on the news search above finds a few more sources that may hold merit. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:34, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the links above are simply announcements mentions and listings, no actual substance and that's exactly what the article shows hence delete. It's quite simple enough when all that's available is her own websites. SwisterTwister talk 21:17, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I, as the creator of the article contest the deletion as it is a stub article, on Chinese singer, improve it rather than deleting, as the singer and the band she represents is really notable. I'll try to add better references on the article in English, as the most notables are in Chinese. Unless the skies fall down (talk) 05:28, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Update: I already added one reference in the article about the band and the members it represents in English citing China Radio International using the appropriate template (cite web) (I am still learning). Unless the skies fall down (talk) 05:41, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @Chinggis6:, per WP:NOENG , sources that aren't in English can be used if necessary, but English sources are preferred. MM ('"HURRRR?) ^(Hmmmmm.) 17:35, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ARTIST. Perhaps the creator can take this back to their user draft page until the article is in better shape. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 15:03, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge. WP:BASIC states that
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability
. These four sources, [1] [2] [3] audio radio story (only one of which appears to be in the article), establish notability for the band. English Wikipedia does not have an article for HAYA (band) (French Wikipedia does, though). While the passing mentions of Tana in these sources could possibly constitute an article about her, I think the information would best be suited to sections about individual band members. If the creator of the article (Chinggis6) can produce those Chinese language sources that provide significant coverage of Tana herself, then I will change my vote to keep, but all the sources that I could find established the notability of the band and not the singer (cart before the horse in this case?) so it makes sense to have an article about the band before the singer.

@Icebob99: forgive my confusion here but, are you voting for the article to be merged with the French Wiki article on the band? (It seems like a tall order to get someone who will be able to translate it all, is all) Or are you asking for someone to throw an article on the band together on English Wiki then merge it into there? MM ('"HURRRR?) ^(Hmmmmm.) 01:26, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Matticusmadness: if the consensus is merge, then I will create the article myself. I found out enough about the band when deciding whether Tana met notability. Icebob99 (talk) 02:50, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
