Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
The New York Times (1) | The New York Times is independent of Jin. | The New York Times is a reputble Newsorg. | A "Justin Jin" is mentioned as having been a photographer, but he's a professional photojournalist, not someone who was seven years old at the time of the article's publication. This man is not the Wikipeida article's subject. | ✘ No |
The New York Times (2) | The New York Times is independent of Jin. | The New York Times is a reputble Newsorg. | Again, this article contains a trivial mention of a different Justin Jin, and the article was published when our Wikipedia article's subject was 1 year old. | ✘ No |
National Geographic | ~ Author page on a neworg's website. Not independent of the person the author page is about (but that's a different person than this article's subject entirely) | ~ WP:ABOUTSELF | That is the page for this Justin Jin, not the Justin Jin who this Wikipedia article is about. | ✘ No |

South China Morning Post | ~ Author page on a neworg's website. Not independent of the person the author page is about (but that's a different person than this article's subject entirely) | ~ The New York Times is a reputble Newsorg. | This is about the photojournalist born in 1974, not the YouTuber born in 2006. | ✘ No |

Vice/Motherboard on TikTok | Why not? | ~ Vice is WP:MREL at WP:RSP, and this is its TikTok channel | Jin's name is not so much as mentioned in this. | ✘ No |
The Independent | Standard U.K. WP:NEWSORG | Standard U.K. WP:NEWSORG | Jin's name is not so much as mentioned once. | ✘ No |

After conducting an online search, I was unable to find additional coverage of this individual that would contribute towards passing WP:GNG. Additionally, several links were used to support hoaxes (the NYT, NatGeo, The Guardian, and SCMP refs refer to a different Justin Jin; this article's subject is not the same born in 2006 per their IMDB Pro page), which I have since removed as such. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 08:16, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
