Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Johnson K. Gao
I've tried asking the author/subject to provide references to demonstrate notability according to our criteria, but had no sensible reply. The only real claim to notability is as an academic, and I haven't been able to locate anything which suggests that he meets the  criteria. It is ''possible'' that he meets it, but the article entirely fails to provide anything to demonstrate this amongst all the invalid Wikipedia citations, links to Amazon, Scribe, YouTube etc. This isn't the first AfD either - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Johnson Gao which likewise closed as delete as lacking evidence of notability. If someone ever locates evidence that Gao ''does'' meet our notability criteria, an article would need writing from scratch, by an uninvolved contributor who understands Wikipedia policy, and what the purpose of an encyclopaedic biography is
