Proposed deletion edit

AjayTO has begun a Proposed Deletion discussion, so I am here to talk about it. I am not the creator of the page, I began following it to prevent disruptive editing. It appears although Vuong is the projected candidate to win the riding and he has released a statement: [1]. CaffeinAddict (talk) 19:36, 22 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Further Bearcat suggested maybe the article should not have been created in the first place. However at this point it's notability seems imminent. CaffeinAddict (talk) 19:37, 22 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
It is true that this article should not have been created yet in the first place — we're supposed to wait until the person has actually been declared the winner of the election, not jump the gun based on the presumed winner of the election because of his lead in the vote count. But since the prod process lasts seven full days, and the final declaration of victory in SFY is far, far less than seven days away, the prod process is pointless. There's also been an acknowledgement that his NDP opponent won the day-of votes on Monday, while Vuong won the advance stuff that was cast before the announcement of his removal from the Liberal team — and the only thing still outstanding is advance mail-in, so there's just no real path for Norm Di Pasquale (fortuitous initials!) to overtake Vuong in what's left. In the (now unlikely) event that Vuong doesn't win, then we can deal with making the article go away — but for now, regardless of the fact that the article should not have been created when it was, it's best to just leave it alone and then cross the deletion bridge only if and when we get to the point when that's necessary.

And it's done and dusted now, less than 24 hours after I posted that comment. Bearcat (talk) 12:01, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Native name edit

I noticed An Macanese added a native name in Chinese... is Vuong Vietnamese or Vietnamese of Chinese decent? I'm confused by this edit. CaffeinAddict (talk) 17:56, 25 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

according to the Sing Tao Daily, Vuong claims that his father came from Fujian while his mother is a Hoa refugee from Vietnam. You can have a look at the interview through this link (it's in Chinese though) — An Macanese 09:25, 26 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Saw a sign in Chinatown that he printed with his Chinese name, think he might be Chinese descent. I know Vuong is Viet spelling of Wong… Fishfiltergold (talk) 00:43, 18 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Semi-protected edit request on 18 October 2021 edit

Vuong doesn't hold an LLM. His degree is a 'Global Professional Master of Laws' or a 'GPLLM'. Change the abbreviation in the infobox to 'G.P.L.L.M.'. 2607:FEA8:81F:FB70:905A:849B:5C51:68A2 (talk) 21:03, 18 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
