Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tony Le-Nguyen
This is an autobiography. It was created by an IP October last year, but this seems to be a one-person IP,202.67.119.44 (talk · contribs) - all of its edits are to the work and productions of this chap. The other articles edited by this IP, was to credit the subject of the article as a "star" in the film Romper Stomper, and plug a play, Children of the Dragon (also up for deletion), directed by the subject of the article. The article is only substantially edited by Nghesi30 (talk · contribs) (meaning "artist30" in Vietnamese), who created an account this year, presumably to create other articles Aussie Bia Om, Chay Vong Vong, and Australian Vietnamese Youth Media- (all up for deletion). Nghesi30 then adds the subject to the list of prominent people at Vietnamese Australian and List of Vietnamese actors.
The reason I feel that Nghesi30 is Tony Le-Nguyen, is because he is challenged to explain a copyvio at Aussie Bia Om. Nghesi30 replies at Talk: Aussie Bia Om that he is the owner of Australian Vietnamese Youth Media and the copyright - meaning Nghesi30 claims to be Tony Le-Nguyen, and has been plugging himself on Vietnamese Australian and List of Vietnamese actors.
Judging by the IP addresses involved, 202.67.119.44 (talk · contribs), 58.178.155.38 (talk · contribs), 211.27.115.141 (talk · contribs), all of whose edits are to articles related to him, I think their edits are also autobiographical.
This person is probably barely notable, but because of autobio concerns, I am putting it here.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! 02:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Has an IMDB entry, so notable enough for me. Autobiographies should be discouraged, and this one appears somewhat POV. I think blnguyen did the right thing by testing community consensus on this, but I see no reason to delete. Snottygobble 03:39, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. More or less agree with Snotty above, should have an NPOV tag up, not an AfD! michael talk 03:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment' - I know, but WP:AUTO seems to imply that autobiographies should be "scaled down" so-to speak.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! 03:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- We don't know *for sure* its our good friend Tony, and it hardly matters. Wikipedia users themselves can tidy up the article from it's present form. michael talk 03:28, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Not for sure, but surer than User:Jason Gastrich, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jason Gastrich and Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Jason Gastrich, which was quite blatant I think!ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! 03:33, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Very weak keep The appearances for which the subject has an IMDB profile do not, I think, confer notability; indeed, were those the sole basis on which notability rested, I would support "delete". Here, though, there seem to be enough other achievements to merit inclusion (barely). The article, per Bln, inter al., surely needs cleanup, but notability seems demonstrated.

- Keep Needs to be reworked as per NPOV policy, but its notability should override the initial vanity edits. Not AfD. Romper Stomper was and is a prominent Australian movie, lead actor should have representation. I would assume that factually his page is correct so far, needing sources though. Not sure about the policy for theatrical work, maybe newspaper reviews could be used as sources. Ansell 03:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
