KEEP - Tony Law is a notable Vietnamese-American and asian politician in the the united states. For you BLNGUYEN to stat that westminster, california is a puff piece is BIASED. Bnguyen 15:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but thoroughly rewrite to remove any unsourced negative remarks per WP:BLP - the plethora of coverage in reliable sources as shown by Google News should be enough for anyone to start writing a neutral article. —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-24 23:47Z
Very weak keep. Even though I had never heard of Mr. Lam before, after doing some research I feel that notability isn't a problem. As it stands now, the article is completely unsourced though. I realize it's a stub but at this point, we're looking at an article that was created 13 months ago. Having said that, I'd still advocate cleanup/a major rewrite over deleting the article.

Strong Keep Although unsourced, this is a well written, reliable, article of notable subject. Nousernamesleft 01:40, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I rewrote the article. Although it might not be too neutral for some people, it is decently sourced. What sources I can find have all commented favourably on Mr Lam. —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-25 03:49Z
