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)

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)

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

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

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

Edit request to complete AfD nomination

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)

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

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

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)

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