No indications that this artist meets the criteria of WP:MUSIC. According to one user on the WP:WikiProject Vietnam (see this thread there was an article on this subject on the Vietnamese Wikipedia, but it was deleted for lack of notability. I could find no sources in English, and apparently, readers of the Vietnamese Wikipedia could find no sources in Vietnamese. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:44, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as it stands. I'm not going to try searching for sources in Vietnamese, but would just comment about the three provided. The Vu Xuan Hung one is just a scan of something a couple of lines long, but the Khoi Nguyen one could be interesting if I knew what it meant - and who Nguyen is. Unfortunately, Nguyen appears to be nearly as common in Vietnamese people as Kim is in Korea. What I said about this article also applies to the Doi Moi one. I've no objection to scans provided either I can read them or they are accompanied by an accurate (or reasonably accurate) translation. The two World Showbix ones I reject. They both reek of 'press release', and are remarkably similar in style. YouTube, MySpace and Amazon are not reliable sources; although Amazon does indicate existence, it cannot indicate notability.
