Benjamin Wan[edit]

I am unable to verify the existence of the subject, and even if details of his life could be verified, I am not sure that this person would be notable.

Article states that subject has won awards in a major competition (Singapore Violin Challenge) of which I cannot verify the existence. I think this is his major point of notability.

Subject also has led his institution, a school, to win a national award at the Singapore Youth Festival. This festival exists but I was not able to verify the award, nor am I sure whether it makes subject notable.

Article is otherwise odd - subject described as a hero for battling condition caused by having one testicle. It has been edited by a lot of users with content added and removed, but it was not obvious to me that anything notable was ever written about this person in the deleted history.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete unsourced BLP, probable attack content, blatantly fails WP:N, should have just been deleted instead of being relisted. Checked for reliable sources in English and Chinese, found none (see search). As far as I can tell, the real Benjamin Wan is a middle school student. cab (talk) 01:07, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. I can't verify his existence either; see this search giving 44 lame Ghits. Even if everything is true, he badly fails every factor in WP:MUSIC. Bearian (talk) 17:46, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
