While he is the co-founder of Hong Kong listed companies, I believe he fails individual notability as per WP:GNG and WP:BIO. If the company is notable, this certainly does not mean it's necessarily inherited to the founder as per WP:INHERIT. While there is mention of him, all sources given are business listings or routine company publications which mention him in his role. I have not been able to find editorial or profile articles that focus on the individual. Another point to note is the absence of WP article in the "native" language project. While this is not a strong argument for this discussion, I take this as reference point for an English article. Therefore, I make the case for deletion given a lack of notability. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 15:59, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
