Comment: With the references now cleaned up, it can be determined that the subject does not have significant coverage in secondary and reliable sources.Ref 1 is broken. Ref 2 is not independent. Ref 3 is not significant coverage. Ref 4 is not independent. Ref 5 is neither significant coverage, nor independent. 6 and 7 are not independent. 8 is about Zeroth and doesn't mention Tak Lo at all. 9 doesn't mention Tak Lo. Not mentioned in 10 which is just a pdf document, 11 is not independent, 12 is a source that couldn't be found, and 13 is not significant coverage (just a name on a list). Reminder: sources need to be reliable, secondary, independent, AND give significant coverage of the subject in order to establish the topic's notability, per Wikipedia's guidelines.
