     This article is an extensive profile of Sound of Hope. The reliability of Epoch Times has been contested in the past with editors disagreeing at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 34#The Epoch Times. Both Epoch Times and Sound of Hope have deep ties to the Falun Gong group. But they were founded by different people and are operated by different companies. My view is that Epoch Times can be used to sourced uncontroversial information but should be scrutinized very carefully for more contentious claims.

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Sound of Hope to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

• Keep After checking the page history, I decided to issue a warning to the person who proposed the deletion. Because the two pages A and Special:Contributions/Fangwei make me think that there are sock puppets and disturbing facts.--Witotiwo (talk) 13:24, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
