Now this is not a redirect since I found enough sources to make a full article on it.

For those of you curious about BLP, Qian freely interviewed about it, and accepted his role as the star of an internet meme, so this BLP is not damaging to him.

There's another version at User:DeLarge/Little Fatty WhisperToMe (talk) 22:19, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I just looked at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Qian Zhijun - Qian reacted differently than "Star Wars Kid" did (and don't we have an article on that too?) and opted to promote himself in light of this internet meme. If he is promoting himself, having this article is not an embarrassment to him - However I agree that the person has no independent notability of a person (yet), so the meme should be the article title and the main focus.

Since the AFD series, Qian starred in two Chinese movies and hosted a festival in Shanghai for fat people. He clearly stated his intent to use his fame to become a celebrity, and he has demonstrated that he wants to be in the public eye. The sources say that his inadvertent fame was responsible for his becoming an actor. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:40, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
