A previous article on this subject was deleted at AfD in November 2020. Regarding this current instance, it falls under the same concerns as before, as to whether coverage which is predominantly about the Yokkao company also establishes biographical notability for the individual. The coverage is mixed: some appears to be coverage originated from the company (Forbes/Ascend Brandvoice, Digital Journal/PRshouts, Muay Thai Citizen - which also features the photo cropped here as "own work"), and CNNMoney mentions the company but not the individual. A redirect to Yokkao could be an alternative, though as DGG noted in the earlier AfD, that article may also need some attention. AllyD (talk) 07:37, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Appears to be sufficient coverage to meet GNG.--Bexaendos (talk) 10:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Although articles talk about him in relation to his company's products, none of them give more than shallow marketing information about his love of his sport, etc. and how that fits into his business. All of this makes more sense on the article for his company as the motivation behind his designs. And I agree that the Yokkao article is WAAAY over the top, with lists of every related event, etc., most of which is un-referenced. Lamona (talk) 05:52, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - there is simply not enough in-depth coverage about him, and not his company, to meet WP:GNG. Redirect to the company would also be okay as per ATD.Onel5969 TT me 17:44, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - promotional and non-notable. Anarchyte (talk) 08:48, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
