Talk:Andrew Tan

Clarence S. B. Tan

Is Andrew related to Clarence? Any input to the article on Clarence S. B. Tan would be greatly appreciated. //Urbourbo (talk) 08:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Honestly, I'm not sure. I have read a number of articles in the web about Andrew Tan but none of them have any references to Clarence S. B. Tan. FoxLad (talk) 09:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

OK thanks anyhow for answering. Would be fun with more information about Clarence Tan, as even the Swedish press does not seem to know anything more about this obviously very wealthy man. All the best, //Urbourbo (talk) 09:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Need to clean up this stub to read like an encyclopedia article Paolocarlomarco (talk) 09:55, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

• ... that when Kevin L. Tan became "the youngest chief executive among major Philippine conglomerates", he was at a wedding and did not know about his own appointment?

     The article notes: "Philippine tycoon Andrew Tan resigned Monday as chief executive of Alliance Global Group, and the family-run conglomerate named his son as the company's new CEO. Kevin Tan, 38, was appointed CEO effective Monday, while his 68-year-old father remains as Alliance Global's chairman. The son becomes the youngest chief executive among major Philippine conglomerates."

  2. Lara, Tanya T. (2018-07-04). "Kevin Tan sees merging of malls, e-commerce and tourism". The Philippine Star. Archived from the original on 2021-05-16. Retrieved 2021-05-16.

     The article notes: "At 38, Kevin may be the youngest tycoon in the country as his appointment to AGI’s top post makes him responsible for the investment holding company that his father, billionaire Dr. Andrew L. Tan, founded. ... Even though he has worked alongside his father since he was 21 and from day one he was being groomed to succeed him, the announcement of his promotion still came as a surprise to him. Literally. “I was attending a wedding abroad and I got a lot of messages congratulating me. I thought, for what? Then I looked at my email. My dad had emailed the board that we were going to announce some changes in the company and that was one of them — that I was being appointed as the new CEO.”"

• Hook good, QPQ good. Article is DYK-appropriate, although the template is a little wrong here as Cunard isn't the creator -- he rewrote it after it turned out the prior text was copyvio. Nonetheless, that's nitpicking. The problem is this is currently the subject of a nasty AfD (I found it a day or so ago while looking at where one of my essays is linked from and went "holy hell, I'm not touching that"). It looks as though it's going to be a "some poor admin writes a three-paragraph rationale for 'no consensus'" situation; will approve or decline when the chips fall where they may.
