Vanity Fair (1978 TV series) : Nothing to support notability found in a BEFORE, but since "Vanity Fair" is a difficult search topic I am sending it here to see if anything can be found to save this article.  If not, then it should be deleted.

Nagol0929 ( talk ) 12:35, 15 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I was able to find a source for Vanity Fair, which included a cast list which mentioned 8 actors, but only gave the roles for three.  Rorr404 ( talk ) 16:03, 15 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The source that you added is nothing more than a film database site, which does not contribute to notability.  Sources must fulfill the requirements of WP:GNG .  Donald D23 talk to me 17:45, 15 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Going through the Chinese Wikipedia page, I found much more information on the TV series, although the current page does not list any sources, I was able to find this on one of the older pages: http://bbs.hkskylove.com/viewthread.php? tid=70959&extra=page%3D1&page=1 however, the main problem is that it is a dead link, looking on the internet archive does give results, which includes a summary of the plot https://web.archive.org/web/20080429072855/http://bbs.hkskylove.com/viewthread.php? tid=70959&extra=page%3D1&page=1 .

The book notes: "我最早認識徐小鳳的歌,也是源於電視劇- 台灣配音劇集《保鑣》和《神鳳》。 她在上述電台 節目表示,在娛樂場所唱歌多年,早闖出名堂,只 是電視台遲遲沒有聯繫她唱主題曲。 1978年的〈大 亨>是她首次演唱本地製作電視劇的主題曲,那時 我尚年幼,已聽聞該劇收視不濟,主題曲亦沒有大 熱。 資料顯示,以劇集《大亨》及電影《漩渦》(黃 百鳴首次投資拍攝的電影)主題曲掛頭名的大碟, 並未獲金唱片。 " From Google Translate: "The earliest songs I knew of Paula Tsui were also from TV dramas - Taiwan dubbed dramas "The Bodyguard" and "Shenfeng".  She said on the above-mentioned radio program that she has been singing in entertainment venues for many years and became famous early, but the TV station has not contacted her to sing the theme song for a long time.  "Vanity Fair" in 1978 was the first time she sang the theme song of a locally produced TV series.  At that time, I was still young, and I had already heard that the show was not well received, and the theme song was not a big hit.  According to the data, the album with the theme song of the TV series "Vanity Fair" and the movie "Vortex" (the first movie that Huang Baiming invested in) has not won the gold record. " There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Vanity Fair ( Chinese : 大亨 ) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline , which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".  Cunard ( talk ) 07:37, 16 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you, I believe that the reason why others were not able to find any sufficient amount of information about the show is that there is not much English media coverage about the show, but there was plenty of coverage about it in Chinese, as it had aired in Hong Kong.  From the synopsis on the Chinese Wikipedia page, it appears to be about three men who all are involved in Cantonese opera/theatre, all of which are friends, share a goal of becoming rich tycoons over its 85 episode run.  Because the coverage is mostly in Chinese, I recommend that someone who can translate Chinese get on the project.

Besides, Chow Yun-fat is a mega superstar in Asia and I find it hard to believe anything he was in is non-notable.  BorgQueen ( talk ) 01:25, 21 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Cunard's research.
