Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/China

WP:DSZH

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to China. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|China|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to China. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

This fails WP:NACTOR. All sources are none WP:RS Ednabrenze (talk) 07:30, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i've add links to biographical data, the sources can only be found in his own social media livestream as short drama actors info are in general lacking online. I've included the link and even the timestamp at which he mentioned those biographical data Laiwingnang (talk) 10:07, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers and China. Shellwood (talk) 11:31, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

also want to mention such info are usually hard to come by because short drama actors are not signed to any publicist or angecies..so they don't have staff to register them with movie databases, fans have to get that info from their livestreams, from social media, but fact is short vertical dramas are highly popular in china with hundreds of millions views/social media engagement and are now being seen by millions on youtube/tiktok internationally through many drama apps, they are more relevant than many mainstream actors from china. Laiwingnang (talk) 13:19, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

added a reference for his short dramas, they are listed in a WeChat application named WeTrue. It's a market data research company used by short drama industry insiders...but it is a built in app inside china's wechat and requires a wechat app installation to access the data. A link to their www feed page is added, any link on that page will give you a link to the wetrue application, upon clicking the application link will launch the data application on wechat. Laiwingnang (talk) 10:11, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Has he been profiled in any reliable sources such as newspapers or magazines? Cunard (talk) 23:23, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. I did not find significant coverage in my searches for sources. I found a passing mention here and a self-published source here. Teng Lin (Chinese: 滕林) does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria. Cunard (talk) 23:23, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
the industry used wechat app wetrue is a more reliable source than the ones you mentioned, it's the imdb for chinese short dramas. What you referenced are mainstream news outlet paid to write articles for agencies to hype up their stars. It's pay per play. Fact is Teng Lin is at 200k followers on china's douyin with an total of over 3 million likes and many chart topping popular short drama just in the last 12 months, many of the c-list musicians, actors who doesn't have a hit with next to no followers get to have a wikipage because their agency pumps articles about them and register them with all types of websites. China isn't America, they are not stuck in the www page age, apps like weTrue or dataeye are used by millions of drama fans and industry insiders for chart data and new releases. They are more reliable sources even if they aren't through http. They don't rely on www page that probably gets like 50 clicks. That's really an American thing. Laiwingnang (talk) 09:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
also want to mention, his short film trailers have millions of views on tiktok...he's not only relevant within, china, but also internationally. His recent dramas are getting subbed by kalostv, reelflicks, flicksreel and other drama apps and many are amongst the most watched short dramas internationally. Alot of activities are happening on apps , www news site gatekeeping pay per play is 2010s. Laiwingnang (talk) 09:59, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
spotify is on app, social media is on apps, netflix in on apps, in 2025, most of what the public consume is on apps, so should short drama apps like wetrue or dataeye be considered as legit sources as well Laiwingnang (talk) 10:04, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
https://www.52hrtt.com/ey/n/w/info/G1732591212530
if you want a www article, here's one...the first short drama awards and Teng Lin won one of the 3 actor awards. He's one of the top short drama actors , doesn't make him less relevant just because he doesn't have an agency to pay for written articles Laiwingnang (talk) 11:22, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Miloš Ćorlomanović

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Previously deleted by WP:PROD and recreated. I do not see a pass of WP:NPROF here -- there are two moderately highly cited items in the Google Scholar profile, but they appear to be combining separate articles or items. I am noting that the prod message ("This person is a crackpot pseudoscientist who is abusing Wikipedia in multiple languages to simulate credibility. I have detailed my objections to the Serbian wiki page of this man here sr:Википедија:Трг/Архива/") expressed concerns about possible deceptive patterns, and the Google Scholar profile seems to be evincing this. I am skeptical of GNG notability, although it is plausible. I am concerned about unsourced and unlikely puffery in the article such as "It seems that he was the first who introduced terms such as quantum information and quantum-information technology to physics," although if he is notable then of course this can be cleaned up.

Delete. No pass of WP:PROF. Clicking on the asterisk on the cited items in the Google Scholar profile shows that they are actually unrelated publications by other people. Actually searching Google Scholar finds nothing under either the Roman or Cyrillic versions of his name. The claim to have invented quantum information is blatantly false (it was in use in the 1960s by Ingarden and Stratonovich, long before the subject was born). This work appears cranky enough that, per WP:FRINGE and WP:N, we need mainstream sources evaluating it and we have none. Spot-checking the ref-bombed article found no sources that would even pass WP:GNG let alone passing this stricter neutrality requirement. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:45, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as above. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:18, 29 April 2025 (UTC).[reply]

I say again that I have inserted new sources and that this should not be ignored. The sources that are important are the report by the Chinese Times and RTS (Radio Television of Serbia), which was officially published with international credibility. Then the reference that leads to the archive of Dubna University in Russia (Dubna is a university center and the largest institute for atomic and nuclear physics in the world) and Google Scholar. If Google Scholar is not an authoritative source either, because sources are inserted manually and did not exist until a few years ago, Dubna is without a doubt an institute where few scientists can appear just like that. Then there is the report by the Chinese Times from 2017, where Dr. Miloš Ćorlomanović appears at an international conference in Beijing, and the picture in the newspaper shows that he is on a board with scientists Dr. Irena Ćosić from Australia, Dr. Ljuba Ristovski from Serbia and Dr. Boris Petrović from Brazil. In addition, I think I also see Dr. White from New Zealand. These are all scientists who have their own works and international cooperation. Then there is the RTS report from September 25, 2019, where at a conference on famous and deserving Serbs in the world, academician Dr. Miloš Ćorlomanović was presented as one of the 20 most deserving Serbs in the field of natural sciences. The conference was organized by the Association of American Serbs. These things cannot be faked. The thing is that most of the referenced articles actually came from the source of Portal 013 from 2018, which was officially the newspaper of the South Banat District, one of the 7 districts in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in the Republic of Serbia. That newspaper had an interview with Dr. Miloš Ćorlomanović when he transferred his work to the Institute of General and Physical Chemistry, Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Belgrade. The thing is that the article about Dr. Miloš Čorlomanović was here for 7 years and was removed after so long without any valid reasons. If the biography criteria have changed, I can understand that, but not that an article that is referenced better than articles about some other scientists is deleted just like that. For example, the article about the Serbian-British scientist physicist Dr. Vlatko Vedral is referenced only by his biography from his personal website, so only a personal page. There are many such examples. As for the Serbian Wikipedia, that article was deleted for political reasons and someone's personal vandalism, without paying attention to the sources I sent them, and then a bot was put in place to prevent the article from being posted at all, where literally after a couple of minutes it puts a page for deletion. If the criteria for living individuals have changed, I can be told about it via messages and given time to obtain additional sources, but I must be told what and specifically. I know the person in question personally and he is my fellow citizen and I can do an interview with him if necessary. It is also possible to do an interview in his laboratory at the institute at the University of Belgrade. The thing is that he is a military scientist in China and cannot always publish everything. As for the story about the inaccuracy of so-called quantum information, which someone is referring to here, it is not about qubits from the field of computer science and computing, but about the quantification of some physical quantity, as the person in question once explained it to me. Similar to quantum space and quantum time. But if you think that is not correct, you are free to delete it, as well as everything else that you consider to be incomplete. Crnizmaj (talk) 23:22, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Having read the above screed my advice to delete this much-declined BLP is unchanged. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:24, 30 April 2025 (UTC).[reply]

Delete - all of the sources appear to be unreliable, including four citations of Wikimedia Commons, a link to Google Search, and a Serbian search engine that shows zero results for "Miloš Ćorlomanović". --Iiii I I I (talk) 08:04, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and others above. Many of the sources are irrelevant or don't exist, and his h-factor is 2. Not close to WP:NPROF, with highly dubious claims. Ldm1954 (talk) 13:14, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Basically, I don't understand those factors. My observation was related to articles about other scientists, where I do not notice significantly different sources, on the contrary, they are often just personal biographies, mostly on personal websites. I even explained in detail the origin of the source, i.e. that the official local newspaper conducted an interview with the person in question and that other newspapers reported, then there is the Chinese Times, references of some works on Google Scholar and to the library of the University of Dubna, as well as some visits to institutions in Serbia. This certainly proves that it is a real person and that it is nothing imaginary. The only knowledge I have about the person in question, which is not related to the larger story, is that the person in question is a military scientist in China, which quite possibly accounts for the non-standard sources about him, so that creates confusion. However, it cannot be disputed that the Association of American Serbs, at the conference on famous Serbs held in Chicago on September 25, 2019, declared him one of the 20 most deserving Serbs in the field of natural sciences. You have attached a link about it. It's true that his profile doesn't exist on Serbian Wikipedia, but that doesn't prove anything, because there someone anonymous ignored the sources in the midst of vandalism. His profile has existed on the Dutch Wikipedia for many years. Crnizmaj (talk) 22:59, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Linfen highway accident

Causing deaths and being reported in the news do not confer notability. Fails WP:EVENT. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 23:29, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Transportation, and China. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 23:29, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There was a followup report last month [1] which placed blame for the crash on local authorities and the bus company, the Jiajun Transport Company. The news report is by Xinhua News Agency, but this is regular, factual reporting so it should be okay for saying there was an investigation that blamed X and Y factors. Very similar reports appear to have been printed in a number of Chinese language newspapers, but they don't go any more in depth than that (judging from Google translate). If we had an article on the transport company or the highway I would probably support a merge there, but we don't and the sourcing is very much just primary news reports, not enough to pass NEVENT.

Lan Fu

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Negative undersourced BLP. Most of the article text is a WP:COATRACK for negative undersourced BLP material about someone else. I prodded this but my prod was removed by User:A. B. who provided as evidence for notability a newspaper article stating in vague terms legal charges against the subject and another newspaper article with a very brief mention that he was sentenced, neither used as footnotes for anything. I don't think these provide WP:SIGCOV. His position as deputy mayor does not pass WP:NPOL and the conviction does not have the evidence of lasting interest needed for WP:PERP. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:17, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: In response to David’s comments:

I added 3, not 2, refs including a NY Times front page article
News and newspaper searches turned up more out there.
The South China Morning Post article is exclusively about Lan Fu’s troubles
When searching for refs, add Xiamen mayor to filter out other people with that name.
This was my edit summary when removing the PROD:” remove PROD. Notable but the tagged concern remains: this may be more about the _alleged_ kidnapping of his son, Lan Meng, by Chinese authorities in Australia as a hostage for Lan Fu's return. We don't have a Lan Meng article”
This article is likely not a BLP since all the refs said LAN Fu was sentenced to death 2 decades ago as I noted in another edit summary. (There’s no lingering on Chinese death rows).
WP:NPOL: Xiamen has over 5 million inhabitants; it’s larger than every North American city except NY and larger than any city in the EU.
Re not adding footnotes to go with the refs: I’d already spent 60+ minutes doing the WP:BEFORE and I was late for lunch
- I tagged the article with an inline template and moved on.

I encourage others to look at the existing refs and what else is out there. —A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 20:34, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it's best to cover this as a biography article, but the scandal itself and his involvement is covered in several books [2] [3] [4] for just a few, there are many more. He was a very major player in this scandal and he was a public figure that was convicted so at the very least his name should redirect somewhere. Xiamen is a city of 5 million so there's also probably coverage of him as a mayor in Chinese. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:47, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: or merge to an article about the corruption scandal. The NY Times article is about a bigger scandal, Fu is mentioned briefly, archive here [5]. The SCMP source is probably better [6] (archived copy), but they both deal more with the scandal than about the individual. I suppose Fu could be notable, but there is a decent amount of sourcing about the corruption trial/event (even the books cited a few comments above mention more about the event than about this person, who is only mentioned).

@Oaktree b Well, you say redirect, but we don't have any article to redirect to. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:19, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There's likely sourcing in Mandarin, the scandals were probably the only thing dramatic enough to make it to Anglophone printing. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:20, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We'd have to create the article I suppose. We have at least enough for a stub. Oaktree b (talk) 03:40, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/Keep. The article has his name in traditional characters, not simplified. This is hardly noticeable to humans but impacts whether you find anything via ctrl+F searching. The simplified version is 蓝甫. I am looking for solid sources, but my gut feeling is that this guy is likely notable as deputy mayor of Xiamen and for being involved in a corruption scandal that garnered national interest. Here is a 2023 piece describing the scandal in great detail [7] – I'm not sure how reliable the source is though.

One could argue that the subject was only one person involved in a scandal (the "Yunhua smuggling case") that got hundreds of people arrested and sentenced, but he is named by sources as having received one of the harshest sentences of all defendants [8], so presumably he played an outsized role in the scandal. This would also be the counterargument to BLP1E. Toadspike [Talk] 13:26, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find a lot of sourcing on this guy, probably because the corruption case was in the very early days of the Chinese internet, but this [9] might constitute sigcov. He is also mentioned twice in this [10] scholarly review of the case – again, showing that his role was more significant than that of the hundreds of other defendants.

Anton Street

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is one of several very tiny side-street connecting two notable roads in Hong Kong. I have searched for WP:SIGCOV in English and Chinese and have not been able to do more than verify that it exists. The Chinese version of this article doesn't contain any further sources to help. I think we could mention it Queen's Road, Hong Kong#Queen's Road East but from what I can find there isn't a lot to add except that it's one of multiple small alley ways connecting two major roads.

Merge. It is just a minor street. This source mentions that in 1917 Tsui In Lane was widened and renamed Anton Street. This source states that it is named after Charles Edward Anton, Director of Jardine, Matheson & Co. Other sources give it passing mentions. One approach would be to redirect it to Queen's Road East#Anton Street, then expand the entry in the list of intersections in that article as
- (N) > junction with {{anchor|Anton Street}} '''Anton Street''', a short road leading north to [[Hennessy Road]]. Created in 1917 by widening Tsui In Lane.<ref...>... Named after [[Charles Edward Anton]], Director of Jardine, Matheson & Co.<ref....>

That way the gazetteer-type information would be preserved. The other minor streets along Queen's Road East could be treated the same way. Probably less effort to boldly merge them into Queen's Road East than to put them through AfD. Aymatth2 (talk) 18:07, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge seems a good idea, but I think it would look a little undue weighty in that big road article unless all of the intersections were extended beyond a line summary.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:08, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. All the side roads should be done, including notable ones that retain their own article and ones that turn into redirects. I am not sure I have the energy to do it. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:27, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - to elaborate slightly on my rationale -WP:Articles_for_deletion/St._Francis_Street and WP:Articles for deletion/Wood Road are similar road noms which ended in delete. If you look up Anton St on g-maps you will see it is an almost comically tiny side street, and the only real facts available are that it 1) is one of many alleys in Hong Kong connecting two notable roads and 2) was named after someone notable. My view is that the existing mentions in articlespace are sufficient, and per WP:NOTDIRECTORY I weakly disagree that there is value to preserving the page history via a merge.

- Those AfDs were not well-attended and were from six years ago so are not good precedent to argue against a merge. Under Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion, when there is a good redirect or merge target as Aymatth2 has identified, that is preferable to deletion. Another merge target could be Charles Edward Anton, the namesake of the street, whose article already mentions the street. Cunard (talk) 07:31, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer to merge to Queen's Road East#Anton Street, since the purpose is to preserve gazeteer-type information, and Queen's Road East is the natural gazeteer parent. I have rearranged Queen's Road East a bit and added an anchor for Anton Street. I am not sure that the table format is ideal for a phone though. Aymatth2 (talk) 22:24, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
