This is a BLP of a filmmaker. I have moved an interview with him from the external links section to a reference. I have carried out WP:BEFORE but have not found sources to add, so don't think he meets WP:GNG or WP:FILMMAKER. Tacyarg (talk) 23:08, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The fact that this person was interviewed by The Myanmar Times interested me, so I conducted a thorough search for sources, looking up every single movie he was involved with. However, I could only find one review from Variety on The Last Eve,[1] which the subject person made a glancing mention as one of four executive producers. In other words, his entire filmography consists of either unnotable projects or roles that were too minor to be considered significant contributions to the productions. I then saw that he was said to have debuted in Hong Kong action cinema, so I tried to look him up on the Hong Kong Movie Database (where information is generally well-preserved), but I could not even find him listed. With only one interview source and all their film involvement being insignificant, the subject person fails both GNG and NACTOR. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 18:08, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I was not able to find anything beyond the source search conducted by Prince of Erebor, and all of the major pieces are interviews and therefor not independent. Fails N. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:12, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails both WP:GNG and WP:FILMMAKER. Hardly any coverage on his projects as a filmmaker. — YoungForever^(talk) 22:31, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
