It does appear that some of the sources cited on this are from 'sponsored' articles, and therefore of questionable reliability. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 17:42, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've stubbed this for now as most of the material was just clearly fabricated. All of those sources will need to be re-evaluated. Several look like high-end paid placement / advertorial bespoke "magazines" that should have never been used. Does not help that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Calvin Lo (businessman) was trashed by now-blocked paid PR socks; we owe Icicle City (talk · contribs) an apology there - he was way ahead of that. Will look in to the sources as time permits; some are normally reliable ones that just did cursory fact-checking as the Forbes peice suggests, but others look like more elaborate PR sinks (like luxuo.com). No objections if someone wants to re-AFD, but maybe has some notability now for other reasons. Sam Kuru (talk) 19:12, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Citations added to valid sources now. Seems to be all factual at this point. Gokiburi88 (talk) 05:52, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Are you getting paid for these edits? Are you the same person as Good4AllGoog? --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 13:05, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not getting paid for edits. I am not the same person as Good4AllGoog. Gokiburi88 (talk) 02:15, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request to complete AfD nomination

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Calvin Lo has been listed at Articles for deletion (nomination), but it was protected, so it could not be tagged. Please add:

{{subst:afdx|2nd|help=off}}

to the top of the page to complete the nomination. Thank you. Fishgrail2 (talk) 14:46, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Already done by a bot :) Actualcpscm^{scrutinize, talk} 16:28, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This request should have been rejected based on the AFD here https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Calvin_Lo_(businessman)_(2nd_nomination) which you closed earlier this month. - Indefensible (talk) 22:13, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The requesting editor had already opened the AfD (i.e. created the AfD page), and the tag was added to the article by a bot. I took no action here except to mark the request as done.

I agree that it might be a spurious nomination, but I‘m not going to close as speedy keep on those grounds, precisely because I am arguably involved. Actualcpscm^{scrutinize, talk} 07:10, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And upon checking the nomination, I see that it‘s already resolved :) Actualcpscm^{scrutinize, talk} 07:11, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
