Doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG. All of the sources I could find on her are either paid advertising/press releases,[1][2] or are interviews of / passing quotes from her.[3][4]

The two sources that look the most "reliable" are these: [5][6], but both are from questionable sources (onscreenasia and NewsBytes, not to be confused with Newsbytes) and both sound like they were written by marketing teams.

Seeing as her article was recently edited by a sock (who seemed to be part of a UPE farm), and all of the major edits to the article are by SPAs, I imagine a lot of the information and sources out there are paid for. Whisperjanes (talk) 20:06, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A cursory WP:BEFORE doesn't turn up anything beyond the sources the nominator mentioned. If I was inclined to try to save it, I could dig deeper or see if any of those sources are defensible (some seem borderline). But per WP:BOGOF, the socking makes me very much uninclined, so I'll be perfectly happy to see this deleted. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 20:24, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - While the subject has been an active voice in the #StopAsianHate movement, most of the reliable secondary sources I found either quote her tweets, mention her in passing, are Forbes Contributor-type content, and one source about her new mansion. Sadly, simply appearing on television or hosting entertainment shows isn't enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. Perhaps if she produces some groundbreaking work that brings her national attention I'd be inclined to see a new version of this article. Missvain (talk) 21:19, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
