Few if any references, with those linked fails to corroborate with article information. Intra-wiki links also seems to have been done entirely by author, with no little to no citations. Dark-World25 (talk) 12:21, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fake sources, unreliable sources, and sources about "Yang". Only two people on Wikipedia with this surname, Nobuo Yana and Pierre Celestin Yana. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:02, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - sources do nothing to establish whether the information is even correct let alone notable; serious WP:V as well as WP:N concerns with this one. Spiderone 14:41, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This appears to be primarily a Chinese Indonesian surname, which is a culture with a quite complex relationship with both Indonesia and with other SEA diaspora populations. The article has WP:SYNTH problems for sure, though, which clouds matters. I think this needs looking at with someone with experience with Chinese Indonesian naming customs, because they have some quite significant and idiosyncratic influences.

Delete. The user has spent a lot of time building up this series of articles with confusing scope overlapping existing articles about the clan. The sources are clearly fake. Even if the subject warranted an article, it would have to be entirely rewritten from scratch. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:04, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:V, WP:TNT, and WP:SIGCOV. Currently this is a huge mess and there are zero reliable sources on the page. Bearian (talk) 21:51, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
