Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

Cunard, Except for the first source, the coverage of him can't be written as "Significant", which are some scant detailing about him in 2-6. He is a booming player for sure, and we got to wait for him to become a noteworthy figure in future. zoglophie^•talk• 10:19, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first two sources—the South China Morning Post and Sing Tao Daily articles—provide substantial coverage about the subject, which enable him to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. The other sources also provide significant to less significant coverage about him (they discuss him in their headlines and cover biographical details about him in the article). The sources all contribute to notability because Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria says "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability."

Keep per Cunard. Meets WP:SPORTSBASIC. Plenty of coverage. C F A 💬 03:29, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not meet the WP:SPORTSBASIC standard. Numerous articles create a historical record of the person as an athlete in badminton. When looking at WP:SIGCOV argument proposed by User:Zoglophie against WP:NOT and WP:NBAD, it does not seem that it meets the notability standard for an athlete in this sport. There is consistent coverage to acknowledge notability when the standard is met. Ventric (talk) 04:43, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
