A passing mention in a book is not enough to establish notability Australianblackbelt (talk) 20:28, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:SIGCOV and WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Lacking significant coverage; we are not a memorial page. Bearian (talk) 17:33, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note it is not sure it is a "passing mention". SportsOlympic (talk) 22:45, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete does not appear to have attracted the requisite secondary coverage required for WP:GNG. Jamesniederle (talk) 12:05, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The only mentions I can find of him are as one of Ip Man's early students. That's the passing mention in the history of Wing Chun book. The article's other source is a mention of his death in the "Wing Chun Teahouse", self described as "a community-contributed online magazine of wing chun" (which would seem to indicate it can't be considered an independent reliable source). Even that obituary says his notability is because he was an early student of Ip Man, but WP:NOTINHERITED applies. The other mentions my search found all seem to be from schools claiming lineage from him, which means none of them can be considered independent. I understand that his time and location don't lend themselves to an English internet search, but that's all I can do. Papaursa (talk) 01:24, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
