Amy Yip

Weak Delete not particularly notable except in niche-market, no biographical or career info. given other than link to imdb (duh!). Eddie.willers 00:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Clear Keep Poorly written content is not a reason to delete an otherwise entirely notable actor. She passes all the standards for inclusion. Dottore So 01:27, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up. Al 01:30, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Neutral Most well known in HK for her boobs and having little acting skills other than being cast as a bimbo or lust symbol in comedies. Whether that's notable is open to speculation. 165.21.154.112 01:35, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment So, I guess you think we should delete Pamela Anderson??? Roodog2k 13:49, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per WP:BIO and expand. WP:BIO specifies that biographies of living people who are "Well known entertainment figures, such as TV/movie producers, directors, writers, and actors who have starring roles, or a series of minor roles, in commercially distributed work watched by a total audience of 5,000 or more" are worthy of inclusion. Ms Yip meets this criteria. Capitalistroadster 01:46, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - to my mind, anyone listed on IMDB is almost certainly notable. This article needs to be cleaned up, not deleted. Rob Church ^{Talk | Desk} 02:26, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. She seems notable enough in Hong Kong films. Hong Kong is not a niche market.--Prosfilaes 02:44, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Even if it was a niche-market. It wouldn't be a valid reason for deletion. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:23, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
    • I tend to be an inclusionist, but enough of a niche market may cross the line into not-notable. If someone stared in a series of movies that had their debue and final performances in the UNLV audioturium, that would be a valid reason for deletion.--Prosfilaes 18:50, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Not everyone in IMDB is notable, but the ones with numerous speaking/named roles and credited ones are as opposed to the "woman on bus" or the non-speaking "bag-lady" in the background for example. Her credits seem to include little of such non-notable roles. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:22, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
• I require a photo to be added to the article to decide what I think about it. Just kidding. This one's a clear keep. Nandesuka 12:39, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Her lack of acting talent is fine by me. Alf 12:41, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Duh... Roodog2k 13:47, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, even I've heard of her, and I'm British. However, somebody needs to explain why she has "become a target of koing in films". What is koing? Is it rude? I'd certainly like to target my own koing at Amy Yip, indeed I may have done so in the past, and I don't care who reads this. -Ashley Pomeroy 14:59, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The Yipster was well known in HK film circles out of proportion to her actual body of work, or something like that... Fire Star 20:22, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup it seems notable but needs some more stuff added. Elfguy 01:25, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Article expanded and cleaned up. No change of vote from Keep. Capitalistroadster 03:40, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Cleanup. Frederick Dannen wrote a lot about her in Hong Kong Babylon...time permitting, I'll take up the task.--Toquinha 21:46, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
