No claim of significance aside from being the COO of a company and the brother of a notable former esports player. I could not find any secondary or tertiary sources for this individual, and this article is only sourced by primary sources which do not attest as to why this individual is notable.

• Redirect: Seems like he's big in the scene but struggles with sources that Wikipedia finds to be reliable (I.e. reputable publications, non-interviews, etc.). As most coverage appears to be related to Team SoloMid, a redirect will probably be more useful than a delete. — BriefEdits (talk) 22:47, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Team SoloMid. Search suggests that he is the COO of the company and a part of their roster. --Lenticel ^(talk) 01:56, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Not a "reliable source" but Leaguepedia is a good repository of esports information related to League of Legends. According to Dan Dinh's article on the wiki, he has never played for a professional team (i.e. in a major professional league), and was never the head coach for a professional team (only one of several coaches for his brother's organisation TSM and later Cloud9). I honestly think it is a stretch to say his notability is only hampered by a lack of sources that Wikipedia deems reliable, as that would imply there are "unreliable" secondary mentions. However, this is not the case. Dan has not involved himself in the esports scene in any significant way since 2014, and his position was given to him by his brother, who is the CEO. The number of Google results are also due to "Dan Dinh" being a common name; a quick navigation of the results will give you many different Dan Dinhs.

• Redirect: Per above. Esports coverage, especially esports coverage in the early 2010s, was almost non-existent, so while Reginald is notable as he was able to permeate that media desert, Dan Dinh is not. Curbon7 (talk) 06:29, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
