Revision 8434854 of "Chase Tang" on simplewiki

{{RfD|I have been rethinking my position on this article since the last Rfd. It has since been nominated for deletion on en.wiki and the reasoning there is pretty good. It also has very severe conflict of interest editing on it. Here is the reasoning from en.wiki which I also agree with. "No evidence of any significant notability. The NETFLIX appearance which sources make much of, is for an uncredited part. This is also true of all the remaining acting parts. There is no evidence that the subject meets [[WP:NACTOR]] which requires that '' "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions;"''"}}
