Fails WP:NJOURN. BLP with only one source which is Twitter. Lacks notability and sources. Thepharoah17 (talk) 20:02, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article seems to have been created by someone who may personally know her given its details on her college roommate, and she appears to fail WP:NJOURNALIST. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 01:23, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete All of the information in the articlespace indicates notability but no reliable sources are listed. Unless sources are added, the articlespace lacks notability. Multi7001 (talk) 22:36, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Apart from this which is unfortunately a primary source cbc.ca/mediacentre/bio/wei-chen, I'm unable to find anything else notable/RS about the subject --WomenProj (talk) 13:23, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It's worth noting that this page was kept the last time it was discussed, although our notability guidelines have evolved significantly since 2004. I also found a brief (but SIGCOV) biography of her in The Chinese in Toronto from 1878 (Chan; 2011). pburka (talk) 14:57, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete - Does appear to fail WP:JOURNALIST. Gentleman wiki (talk) 19:14, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Easily meets GNG and probably JOURNALIST with national long-term career - and on top of that 3 full-page features about her adoption of her daughter. I've added references to the article - and there are many more, surrounding her moves to and from prominent media anchoring positions. Ping User:WomenProj, User:Multi7001, User:Gentleman wiki. Nfitz (talk) 00:37, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes GNG per sources provided by Nfitz. Additionally, she was nominated in 1999 and 2002 for a Gemini Award (Gemini Award for Best News Magazine Segment; as found on the awards website); which means she passes WP:ANYBIO and WP:NJOURNALIST.4meter4 (talk) 22:57, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep. Some sourcing improvement was (and still is) certainly needed here, but the sourcing has started to get improved and Gemini Awards nail the notability of a broadcast journalist to the wall regardless of whether the article is in the best possible shape yet or not.

Keep Meets WP:JOURNALIST with sources added to the article by Nfitz. They're reliiable enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 02:13, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Nfitz has added sources and it passes WP:JOURNALIST. Misasory (talk) 09:44, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
