• Delete: Per nomination. All coverage is sourced to poker stat databases and other poker news sites merely covering the events subject has taken part in. - Ratnahastin (talk) 00:43, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I found this book titled I Am a Gambler: The 73rd Industry that Disrupts Your Traditional Views on Gambling (Chinese: 我是牌手──顛覆您對賭博傳統看法的第七十三行業) published by https://www.red-publish.com/ that profiles him on pages 107–116. I found a few paragraphs of coverage in this article from Card Player. The other sources I found were sponsored sources from natural8 like this Chinese-language article and this English-language article. I think the book is a reliable source. His notability hinges on whether Card Player is also a reliable source. Cunard (talk) 08:47, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Cunard, Card Player looks reliable enough in that they separate editorial and sales, it doesn't look like coverage is obviously shaped by advertisers, and while the magazine might have a bias towards positivity they covered the use of laptop/consulting by Jonathan Tamayo at the WSOP[1] (if they cover the resulting rules change it will be in a December magazine). ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 02:25, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you for the analysis, Hydronium Hydroxide (talk · contribs), indicating that the Card Player article is sufficiently reliable. In that case I support keeping the article as there is enough coverage on pages 107–116 of the book and the Card Player article to allow Anson Tang to meet Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria. Cunard (talk) 09:54, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep based on the sources found by Cunard. The advice from WikiProject Poker also suggests that a player who has won a WSOP event is likely notable – it looks like the subject has won several. Toadspike [Talk] 10:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I'd not give that advice much weight for current players - see World Series of Poker#Number of bracelet events per year for the significant rise in WSOP events over the years - and his 2 European & 1 online bracelets don't look like they should be considered anywhere near presumed notability (see CardPlayer for his results). That said, the Global Poker Index shows his top ranking was 32nd in the world[2], and he's 533rd in all-time winnings. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 11:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
