Not notable per WP:MUSICBIO, she released one EP which didn't chart, and I can't find significant coverage of her or the EP in reliable sources in English or Chinese. Not notable per WP:NACTOR, as her only lead role was in the film Dreamtrips, and I can't find SIGCOV of the film or her as an actress in reliable sources, apart from that it was screened at a notable festival. In the last AFD, two editors said that it was in the Hong Kong Film Archive, but I can't find it there when searching for 夢之旅. I couldn't find any coverage of her as a radio presenter, apart from sparse coverage that she won the RTHK disk jockey competition. She left show business in the 90s or 00s to become an architect, and I can't find SIGCOV of her per WP:NARCHITECT.

Editors searching for coverage that I missed, please note that there's an unrelated singer Jennifer Chan from Hong Kong at JC (singer), who debuted in 2016. There's also an unrelated American Jennifer Chan, who's been a TV presenter. Wikishovel (talk) 09:25, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

  The article notes: "主持過兩輯「新地 MTV」後,陳漢詩覺得表現已漸見好轉,不過若將電台與電視相比 ,前者滿足感較大,且創作力更高。雖然陳英詩對自己在「新地MTV」節目中的表現滿意,然而令她最討厭的是肥胖的面部,原來身高五呎七时的她,竟然擁有一六〇的體重,怪不得其男友也狂催促伊人要積極減肥哩。衆所週知,陳漢詩與周慧敏非常老友,以前在電台亦常被人貫以「孖公仔肥妹」稱號, 但日子一天一天地過去之後,周的體重竟然日斷下降,反之她則日漸上升,現在她除向對方請教主持電視節目的心得外,最重要的,便是尚對方請敬一套完善的減肥秘訣。陳笑謂:「我嘅減把目標係卅磅!」雖然周的三棲發展已漸上軌道,然而她却未因此而感到羨慕,因爲她認爲作多元化發展必須講求個人潛質,而單看周慧 |敏的纖秀外型及清麗脫「俗面孔,就已經勝她一哩籌。"
  From Google Translate: After hosting two seasons of 'New Land MTV,' Jennifer Chan feels that her performance has gradually improved. However, she finds that compared to radio, the satisfaction from television is greater and the creative output is higher. Although Jennifer is satisfied with her performance in the 'New Land MTV' program, what she dislikes the most is her chubby face. It turns out that at a height of 5 feet 7 inches, she weighs 160 pounds, which explains why her boyfriend keeps urging her to actively lose weight. As everyone knows, Jennifer and Vivian Chow are very close friends and were often referred to as 'the chubby duo' back in their radio days. However, as time has passed, Vivian's weight has steadily decreased, while hers has increased. Now, besides asking Vivian for tips on hosting television shows, what she wants most is to get a complete set of weight loss secrets from her. Jennifer joked, 'My weight loss goal is 30 pounds!' Although Vivian's diverse career is gradually on track, Jennifer does not feel envious because she believes that diversified development must focus on personal potential. Just looking at Vivian Chow's slender figure and elegant appearance makes her feel that Vivian is already a step ahead."

  The article notes: "如果閣下於八丶九十年代，要收音機撈飯的話，應該會對DJ陳漢詩(Jennifer)不會陌生了，與她同期出道的還有周慧敏及黃凱芹等。及後，她轉到新城電台開咪，而筆者亦因此認識到Jennifer。可是，她不久便離開香港到法國深造，能與她聯絡的舊同事亦不多。由於Jennifer 在香港電台工作的時間曾傳出她遇過不少靈異事件，但礙於一直未能由她親口作證，以往關於她的經歷只能由別人口傳而來。直接早前筆者突然知道Jennifer與另一舊同事方家煌開了一個YouTube頻道，主力分享他們於法國與英國生活點滴，久違了的Jennifer終於出山，"
  From Google Translate: "If you were in the radio industry during the 1980s and 1990s, you would be familiar with DJ Jennifer Chan. She debuted around the same time as other notable figures like Vivian Chow and Wong Kai-kin. Later, she moved to New City Radio, and that's how I got to know Jennifer. However, she soon left Hong Kong to study in France, and there weren't many old colleagues who could keep in touch with her. During her time at the Hong Kong radio station, there were many rumors about her encountering supernatural events, but since she hadn't confirmed them herself, her experiences could only be relayed by others. Recently, I suddenly learned that Jennifer and another former colleague, Fang Ka-huang, started a YouTube channel primarily sharing their life experiences in France and the UK. After a long absence, Jennifer has finally resurfaced."

  The article notes: "電台，是一棟歷史十分悠久的建築物，四層樓高空間亦頗多，在這幾十年來，很多次在工作的唱片騎師，都遇上各種怪事。八十年代著名DJ陳漢詩就曾經傳出一個經典故事。話說當年最著名的鬼古，就是陳漢詩某晚在港台做通宵節目，到半夜三點左右，她突然見到唱盤上出現了一個男人的人頭，便即時逃離直播室，更即時要求不再做通宵節目。不過，後來已移民法國多年的陳漢詩，就曾親口說出，自己並沒有遇上這件事，但她知道真正撞正如此恐怖事件，其實是當年紅透半邊天的蔡楓華。"
  From Google Translate: "The radio station is a historic building with four floors and ample space. Over the decades, many DJs have encountered various strange occurrences while working there. A famous story from the 1980s involves DJ Jennifer Chan. It is said that one night while doing an overnight program at Radio Hong Kong, around 3 a.m., she suddenly saw a man's head appear on the turntable, prompting her to flee the studio immediately and request to stop doing overnight shows. However, Jennifer, who has since immigrated to France, later stated that she did not experience this incident herself. She revealed that the real person who encountered such a terrifying event back then was the immensely popular Ken Choi."

    The article notes: "梁兆輝Brian，DJ已23年，... 1986年他參加全港「業餘DJ大賽」，並得到冠軍，同屆還有周慧敏和陳漢詩。他們一起加入訓練班，接受為期三個月的訓練，導師是鄧藹霖、倪秉郎，同班的還有阮兆祥和李克勤，"
    From Google Translate: "Brian Leung Siu Fai has been a DJ for 23 years. In 1986, he participated in the Hong Kong 'Amateur DJ Competition' and won the championship. Among the competitors that year were Vivian Chow and Jennifer Chan. They all joined a training class together, where they underwent three months of training under instructors Blanche Tang Oi Lam [zh] and Simon Ngai Ping Long [zh]. Also in the class were Louis Yuen and Hacken Lee."

    The article notes: "但是，《三個小神仙》鄭丹瑞、何嘉麗及林珊珊相繼離開，香港電台要捧年輕人偶像接力，一個機會，周慧敏即時上位，變「玉女掌門人」。 Vivian的成功，沒半點兒幸運，事實，她同期受捧的年輕DJ包括黃凱芹、餘劍明及陳漢詩，在EQ（情緒智商）及Mental Age（心理年齡）方面，明顯成熟高質，奮鬥目標及雄心，早已超越電台範疇。她的成功個案，可以成為教材！"
    From Google Translate: "However, with the departures of Cheng Dan-shui, Ho Ka-lai, and Lam Shan-shan from 'The Three Little Fairies,' Hong Kong Radio needed to promote young idols, creating an opportunity for Vivian Chow to step up and become the 'Goddess of the Arts.' Vivian's success is not a matter of luck; in fact, the young DJs who were promoted alongside her, including Wong Kai-kin, Yu Gam-ming, and Jennifer Chan, clearly demonstrated higher maturity in terms of EQ (Emotional Quotient) and Mental Age. Their goals and ambitions have long surpassed the confines of the radio industry."

    The article notes: "香港國際影展今年強化第二届独立电影周年展獨立電影及錄影帶部分﹐與藝術中心攜手放映本地自主創作。獨立影片發行組織'影意志'則先聲奪人﹐率先在本月下旬首映多出作品﹐其中包括吳家龍的《夢之旅》﹐以極闊的銀幕比例﹐展示一次虛擬又帶點科幻的旅程﹐將影像的可能性徹底發揮。《夢之旅》由唱片騎師陳漢詩與郭偉安粉墨登場。"
    From Google Translate: "The Hong Kong International Film Festival is strengthening the independent film and video segment of the 2nd Annual Independent Film Festival this year, partnering with the Arts Centre to showcase local autonomous creations. The independent film distribution organization Ying e Chi has taken the lead, premiering several new works later this month, including Ng Ka-long's 'Journey of Dreams,' which features an expansive screen ratio to present a virtual and slightly sci-fi journey, fully exploring the possibilities of visual storytelling. 'Journey of Dreams' features DJ Jennifer Chan and Wayne Kwok in its cast."
  4. "《夢之旅》" [Journey of Dreams]. am730 (in Chinese). 2005-12-15. p. M15.
    The article notes: "導演：吳家龍一齣1999年上演的本地獨立電影，由陳漢詩和郭偉安主演。導演在戲中構思出一種有如茶餐廳奶茶的港式科幻，故事講述一個徘徊多倫多的失戀少女，利用一個叫“夢之旅”的電腦方程式，進入夢世界尋找逃婚男友。不少影評都認為，本片以詩化的影像融入城市建築空間之中，形成一種心靈的沉思，是在技術和資金限制下所迫發出來的無限創意。"
    From Google Translate: "Director: Ng Ka-long. This is a local independent film that premiered in 1999, starring Jennifer Chan and Kwok Wai-on. The director has conceived a Hong Kong-style sci-fi that resembles the milk tea served in tea restaurants. The story follows a heartbroken girl wandering in Toronto who uses a computer program called "Journey of Dreams" to enter a dream world in search of her runaway boyfriend. Many critics believe that the film integrates poetic imagery with urban architectural spaces, creating a form of spiritual reflection. It is a manifestation of infinite creativity born from technical and financial constraints."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Jennifer Chan (simplified Chinese: 陈汉诗; traditional Chinese: 陳漢詩) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
