- It's a vanity page, it's not encyclopedic, and it's not useful. I recommend deletion. Dpark 03:13, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not much else to say. Mo0[talk] 04:18, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Not to mention that he's not even the most important Derek known to man -- Derek Ross | Talk 04:22, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, vanity. - Mailer Diablo 04:36, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 04:46, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Just to be fair, I put him through the Google check by the name given in the article, "Derek Chan", despite the fact that the page is just labelled as Derek... 3870 results. Derek Chan and Heavy Metal? 17, and they're not even all about the same Derek Chan. Rock? 374. For someone who's a "very renowned Hong Kong rocker", he's... not very renowned. Not enough for Wikipedia yet, at least. Wakuseino 05:51, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Of course, this is also noting the fact that for being so renowned, it hasn't even listed anything he's done, except "promote heavy metal and theater cultures". Wakuseino 05:54, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Hah! Even a nobody like me's got more Google hits than that! -- Derek Ross | Talk 06:01, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, and now he's promoting himself. Wyss 05:57, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, vanity. Ellsworth 16:55, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete without verifiability - David Gerard 14:57, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. "Derek Chan, a very renowned Hong Kong rocker" is just not notable enough, yet. When he is, maybe someone else will write an article about him. Jonathunder 22:24, 2005 Mar 13 (UTC)
- Delete Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:53, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Although the current article is a definite delete, IMHO, we have articles on onther names. Could this not be turned into a list of famous people called Derek? To quote Peter Jackson, "I'm a Derek - dereks don't run!" Grutness|hello?
02:31, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC) - Delete. Derek Chan is a "very renowned" rocker AllMusic.com doesn't know anything about. Vanity. vlad_mv 12:49, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
