The one reference does not appear to be a reliable source, and the entire "background" section has had a citations needed tag on it for over a decade. I didn't find anything that looked reliable on a google search, either. This survived two AfDs in the 00s, but none of the "keep" reasons look particularly compelling by current standards.

If anyone does turn up a reliable source, I propose adding the information to Gigantiform cementoma instead of retaining this as a stand-alone page, unless sources can be found for the whole thing. (Gigantiform cementoma is a stub, and moving this entire article there would overpower it.) asilvering (talk) 20:21, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

      The article notes: "If you saw the original Extraordinary People: The Boy with a Tumour for a Face (Five 9.00pm) you won't have forgotten the story of Novemthree Siahaan. When representatives of a Taiwanese medical charity happened on Novemthree's family in 2004 they found them shunned by their own community, who considered the boy's disfigured face a sign of some divine curse. Novemthree was actually suffering from a genetic disorder in which dental tissue forms tumours that distort the bones in the face. He had what turned out to be the largest recorded facial tumour and the first film traced his progress through four groundbreaking operations undertaken in a Buddhist hospital in Taiwan in which surgeons removed a kilogramme of the tumour, reshaped his face and gave him the chance to live a relatively normal life for a while at least. This heartbreaking follow-up film catches up with the family a year on from these operations and shows the parents having to decide whether or not to subject Novemthree to still more procedures that could just as easily end as prolong his life."

      From Google Translate: "Recently, the memory of love in a foreign land has sent messages of caring for Novemthree in Batam, Indonesia, from European and American countries. It turned out to be the BBC TV station that aired the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital team’s face change for Novemthree. The album that successfully saved Novemthree's life. A reporter from BBC television sought expert evidence for his condition and made a special trip to the Mayo Medical Center in Minnesota, USA, to visit the well-known plastic surgery of the hospital."

Di missed the opportunity to see the doctor early, and it was not until the 15th of last month when the Singaporean Medical Association went to Batam Island, Indonesia for a free clinic, and he achieved the cause and fate of his treatment in Hualien."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Novemthree Siahaan (simplified Chinese: 诺文狄; traditional Chinese: 諾文狄) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Relisting comment: Any thoughts on Cunard's sources?

  • Weak keep Cunard has provided a large number of foreign-language sources. While I cannot speak for their reliability I am willing to assume good faith until someone familiar with the sources can provide a better assessment. Dronebogus (talk) 02:43, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (nom). I'm not familiar with this newspaper and don't read Chinese, so I can't vouch for these clips myself. Either way, I don't think this is grounds for a keep unless a fluent Chinese+English editor agrees that they constitute a WP:GNG pass and is willing to rewrite the article from the ground up using these sources; if machine-translated articles are "worse than nothing", articles written by someone without dual fluency entirely based on machine translations don't have a very strong claim to being any better than nothing. But I don't see any reason not to write a short section using the facts from these into Gigantiform cementoma, even if it's done from machine translation; I doubt that the machine translation of even a middling suspect source is likely to be wrong about the base facts of the matter in this case. Really though, it doesn't look like there is actually a lot of fact here to make an article out of. "After days of care ... he cried less", for eg, is not going to be all that encyclopedic no matter how reliable the source is. So I think a redirect is still the best option. Thanks to Cunard finding Siahaan's name in Chinese, the bit in Gigantiform cementoma can at least be ref'd now. -- asilvering (talk) 03:36, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
