Delete - Besides being created by an editor with the username User:Billykoh, indicating WP:COI problems, the article has a few copyvio violations as well. CherylHew ✽ ✉ 17:49, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The subject is undoubtedly notable, although perhaps only as the CEO of Ocean Butterflies International. Whether we need a standalone article or we need to merge it into Ocean Butterflies International is the decision we need to make here. Some sources

CEO Billy Koh quits Ocean Butterflies 2014 , Straits Times
Billy Koh made JJ Lin a big Mandopop star 2015, Straits Times
Billboard 2003 very brief coverage in context of company.
Billboard 2001 Coverage by same author in previous article, largely quotes though

The subject is notable for forming a music company which produced stars like JJ Lin and Stefanie Sun. Whether we need to merge it into the company or keep it as a standalone article depends on the sources available. I don't have enough time right now to do an extensive archive search, but I suspect there may be enough available for a standalone article. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:59, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete On second thoughts due to copyvio. I just took a look at the copyvio link CherylHew provided. This is pretty bad and is gonna be hard to clean up, the article will lose all its history as well. This is ripe for a TNT at this point. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 04:16, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
