Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin L. Tan
The subject was extensively covered in the reputable major Philippine newspapers ''The Philippine Star'' and the ''Philippine Daily Inquirer'' and the Philippine edition of ''Esquire (magazine)|Esquire''. There is substantial biographical coverage about him, which I included in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kevin_L._Tan&diff=1023440621&oldid=1023420542 my complete rewrite of the article. Kevin Tan passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says: People are presumed {{strong|notable}} if they have received significant coverage in {{strong|multiple published}} {{strong|Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources|secondary sources}} that are {{strong|Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable}}, {{strong|intellectually independent}} of each other, and {{strong|Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent of the subject}}. The coverage spans nearly a decade: 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Extraordinary Writ is correct in noting that Kevin L. Tan's association with his notable father and with Alliance Global do not prevent him from becoming notable when there are multiple articles from reputable national newspapers written about his early life, business career, and personal life.The original creator may be an undisclosed paid editor and sockpuppet (I https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ASockpuppet_investigations%2FZaid_Zayd&diff=1023549548&oldid=1023497183 created a report at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zaid Zayd). But that should have no effect on this article. I do not have a conflict of interest with the subject, and I completely rewrote the article without using any of the prior content because it contained copyright violations. No content from the creator, who is a single-purpose account, remains.Pinging {{user|Spiderone}}, who participated in this AfD and who wrote in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Andrew L. Tan|the previous AfD, "Speedy delete - per , if he is actually notable, someone that isn't a banned sock can write an article on him". I am not a banned sock, and I wrote an article about him because I think he is notable. Would you take review the rewritten article and the sources? Thanks
