- Delete per nom. I don't see anything that makes them particularly notable. -- Gestrid ( talk) 18:32, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as nothing at all close to establish any form of actual notability. SwisterTwister talk 01:35, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete a hedge fund manager who is no where near being notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 03:00, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
23 starting a hedge fund is not notable? I disagree — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.48.137.94 ( talk) 09:26, 2 August 2016 (UTC) — 116.48.137.94 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Not unless other people say so. Unfortunately, the source for this is pay-walled, so I can't read it, but if Mr Wong is truly notable for that fact there should be more than one source to confirm it, and I cannot find any. The apparent general lack of reputable, independent sources covering Mr Wong is the reason we are having trouble with his notability. ubiquity ( talk) 14:26, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Most of the hedge fund sources are pay-walled. Even if you check someone called Danny Yong, he is one of the best in Asia and only has 4 sources. If someone quite reputable within the space like hedge fund intelligence wrote about it, it means something. This industry is discreet and it's not as easy to find much sources on a manager than other industries. Such as Yong as an example — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben.poon123 ( talk • contribs) 20:02, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Way WP:TOOSOON and doesn't pass GNG at the moment. As for Danny Yong, he has much more detailed and indepth sources over a period of time. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 05:34, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per Lemongirl1942. There's no indication of where he got his money to start, and what he's done with that capital. Also, hedge fund managers are quite common. Bearian ( talk) 17:57, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
