Can't put a prod on it since there techincally are refs. But I'm not sure if he is as notable as he says he is and sounds like it might be a auto bio. also keeps on making alternate spellings of the name (see Kid Youny and Kid Wong) Now something does seem off about this page Wgolf (talk) 04:50, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

-I do think this is possibly a hoax or something. And good luck on actually finding this name on Google considering the number of hits you will get. Wgolf (talk) 04:52, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~delete~~. as not notable. I had a look at the Chinese page but that's now located at /temp (the equivalent of Draft: here ?) and looks like it's been deleted from mainspace for similar reasons. If evidence of notability can't be found by the Chinese WP I doubt we'll find any here.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 15:29, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The Chinese article seems to be in mainspace now. I put his name in Chinese through the Google News check and it seems legit (see here). First is a report on sina.com of him as the male lead in a new film (see here). In the film "Diving High" he's apparently one of the major characters. Seems notable. Perhaps the name changes are due to Google's inability to get his name correct? I see him mostly translated as "Kodak". - Takeaway (talk) 01:06, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep. The Chinese article seems much improved and is now in mainspace. I'm unable to evaluate the references myself so am not that confident of its notability but can no longer support deletion so am changing my !vote. I don't know if the name is the best one; it's unclear if this English name is widely used, and it might be better to use his Chinese name appropriately Romanised, e.g. Wang Keda. But this can be addressed after this discussion is closed (assuming it's kept).--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 16:41, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
