Fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. All of the source included in the article is about his activities with the group NCT/WayV, showing lack of individual independent notability. Article was also moved back to draft twice, however, for reasons unknown, the draft was accepted after the first draftify despite failing to show individual independent notability. In addition, the accepted revision 1042003833 was also filled with bunch of unreliable sources with zero editorial oversight, and also trivias such as with Instagram followers that is only supported by primary source.
Imo, this article should be redirect back to draftspace. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 01:51, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The article just needs more work. Hendery did indeed have activities outside WAYV and thus independent notability, as Hendery has started in various Chinese variety shows such as Happy Camp (TV series) . He is quite a notable and popular figure in Macau, Hong Kong and Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macau Greater Bay Area and this can be backed up with reliable sources. Furthermore, Meets #7 of WP:MUS Wikipedia:Notability (music): Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city (in this case, Macau); and moreover the subject still meets all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability, while meeting notability (music). Another aspect to take into consideration with respect to the question of notability is popularity and fame, including social media popularity. It is important to note that on his birthday, Hendery was trending worldwide #1 on top social media platforms such as Twitter and Weibo. Hendery is also the most followed individuals from Macau on many social media platforms such as Instagram (more than 5 million followers), Weibo, and Twitter (1 of the 2 administrative regions of China alongside Hong Kong). He meets independent notability as he also been known to face controversy - he faced a cultural appropriation scandal which was discussed a lot on social media and Kpop Twitter. The random trivial trivias have since been removed from his page Yeungkahchun (talk) 01:59, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect - no evidence of individual notability as a musician. And no evidence of "prominent of the local scene of a city" in this article either. Where is their significant coverage in social media influence? Evaders99 (talk) 03:15, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect/delete - I'm following the group, and his only solo work notable enough to be included will be his cast appearance on the upcoming show How Become a Family.[1] But it's not even aired yet, and other contents are either group activities or have unreliable source.

- Merge/redirect to WayV#Members per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives for deletion. I searched for sources about Wong Kun-hang (Chinese: 黃冠亨; born 28 September 1999), known by the mononym Hendery (Korean: 헨드리), and was unable to find significant coverage about him.
All of the coverage about him is in relation to his membership in the South Korean boy group NCT and its Chinese subunit WayV.
I will support a standalone article if editors can provide at least two reliable sources that provide significant coverage of him where the coverage is not focused his activities for NCT and WayV.
