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.

Keep or speedy keep per CSK#3: There is plenty of media coverage, with the best being an article from The Paper that documents and analyzes the website's development and growth,[1] as well as an academic article "Linguistic purism as resistance to colonization" by Gegentuul Baioud in the peer-reviewed journal Journal of Sociolinguistics.[2] The blockade of the website was also widely reported by media outlets, such as The Times,[3] Voice of America,[4] The Economist,[5] Deutsche Welle,[6] The Sydney Morning Herald,[7] etc, all of which are reliable sources. Even pro-Beijing newspapers like Oriental Daily News and HK01 reported on the incident,[8][9] as did Human Rights Watch.[10][11] The nom provided no proof or sources that suggested otherwise aside from asserting they are able to assess the site, which is original research. Even if there are indeed discrepancies among the sources, this has nothing to do with notability and does not constitute a valid reason to file for an article's deletion. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 09:36, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

NewsBreak

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

NewsBreak is not nearly notable enough for a Wikipedia page, they do not have enough articles/news information about them to even expand the page further than it is now. There is nothing SIGNIFICANT about this; per Wikipedia guidelines for Notability, to determine if a topic merits its own article, it requires significant coverage in reliable, independent sources that are not self-published or promotional. And so far, this article is WP:UNDUE, ONE Rueters article covers an entire paragraph. No notability. OhNoKaren (talk) 01:28, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – I found several secondary sources that span a good period after a brief search:

Digiday (October 4, 2021), "Inside Newsbreak’s search for stability in its nearly year-old creators program".
Business Insider (January 31, 2022), "Former NBC 'Today' chief Jim Bell will join local news app startup NewsBreak to set strategy, hire journalists".
NBC News (March 20, 2024), "Crime stories drove readers to GoFundMe campaigns, only the victims didn't exist".
The Wrap (December 18, 2024), "Steve Harvey Death Rumor Sparked by Bogus AI Story".

Plus Chinese-language articles from secondary sources:

The Paper (May 28, 2020), "沈向洋下一站确定：投资并出任News break董事长"
21st Century Business Herald (February 8, 2021), "News Break突围，海外“今日头条”们能否迎来第二春？"
Radio France Internationale (June 6, 2024), "美国新闻应用程式以AI写假新闻？演算法办公室在中国"
Voice of America (June 11, 2024), "又一个TikTok? 美议员担心新闻应用程序NewsBreak的中国背景，呼吁进行严格审查"

Plus many reliable sources covering Reuters' June 5, 2024 article, which shows newsworthiness:

Ars Technica, "Top news app caught sharing “entirely false” AI-generated news"
Engadget, "Popular US news app accused of using AI to make up fake stories"
Entrepreneur, "The Most Downloaded News App in the U.S. May Have Published Dozens of Fake, AI-Written Stories"
Futurism, "Popular News App Caught Publishing Completely Untrue AI Articles"

I don't see a problem with that paragraph citing just one source, considering 1) the source is Reuters, which is reliable, and 2) the article in question is an in-depth, long-form investigative piece. Iiii I I I (talk) 07:55, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Afghanistan in the ABU TV Song Festival

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

Originally created when the event was announced in a Eurovision Song Contest-style format for each participating country, however this event has not gained nearly the same level of media attention or general awareness, and thus I believe individual country articles outlining participation in these events do not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidance. Specifically I refer to WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV, as from what I can see coverage of these events is limited to fan media and promotional releases. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:36, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are part of the same series of country articles for the ABU Song Festivals:

Delete per nom. The sources for these articles are either primary sources (the ABU) or Eurovision-related sites that include passing mention of ABU participants (since the idea is that these events would be appealing to ESC fans). Even with that, the information was largely reformatted from press releases. As the nominator noted, these events never gained traction nor are they competitive like their inspiration's format. The yearly occurrences (ABU Radio Song Festival 2012, ABU TV Song Festival 2012, etc, - both GAs!) appear to have enough coverage, but I'm not sure what's accomplished by having a list of the handful of songs that each country 'sent' to be showcases (not voted on by the public). It's an interesting event, but these pages are remnants of an attempt to treat it like its much larger/more impactful, which was a product of being part of the former WP:ESC and its page creation structure (now deprecated for non-competitive events). These pages could be replaced by a single article "List of ABU Radio Song Festival songs" or whathaveyou, but that's probably the extent of it given where notability stands and I wouldn't make this deletion contingent on its creation (or an alternative). Grk1011 (talk) 13:12, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A merge as suggested by Grk1011 might be useful. It could probably fit on ABU Radio Song Festival rather than a new page, that's not a very exhaustive article. CMD (talk) 07:13, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with ABU Radio Song Festival : as WP:Alternative to deletion. Was a check of sources in the language(s) of every country performed? Because that is what should have been done... -Mushy Yank. 18:40, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The main article won't benefit from any of the by-country detail, which is already covered in aggregate by the yearly competition articles. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:04, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Zheng Guangzhao

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

Does not meet GNG, and this person's positions fail to meet NPOL criteria either Cinder painter (talk) 13:27, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians and China. Shellwood (talk) 13:35, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The article erroneously stated that he was party secretary of Inner Mongolia, a position that would probably make him automatically notable. Based on the cited sources, he is only party secretary of the Inner Mongolia Public Security Department, which is not a position that makes him automatically notable. I have corrected the article accordingly.

Though he is not automatically notable under NPOL, I have not yet done a search for sources to check if the GNG is met. Toadspike [Talk] 22:30, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

Making the global final on its own isn't enough to make the subject notable if he doesn't already have in-depth coverage from multiple independent reliable sources.

Delete. Searching for Chinese sources, I couldn't find any sigcov. Sources mostly focus on his participation at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, where he placed 14th. [13][14][15][16] None of these are really enough to count as sigcov and I don't think he meets any of the NATH criteria. Toadspike [Talk] 09:29, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep based on my expansion using new sources I found. Note that almost all of the above comments were made before the new sources were found, and while I respect User:Toadspike's comment I am not sure if they understood that the above !votes were made before the expansion.

The SINA article goes far beyond the subject's participation at the world championships, going in detail about his life since age 11. Subject also has a long history of notable performance before the World Champs this year going back over nine years, as detailed in the article. Subject is at the peak of his career and was only one second off the Chinese record, and I would expect that several more pieces in will be written about him following the 2025 Diamond League season which begins in China this year. Based on his regional medals I think there's definitely more than what I've found – Google is banned in China so I feel like a fool trying to search his name on Google and expecting relevant results, but even given that major caveat I think we've been able to construct a WP:BASIC-compliant article so far. --Habst (talk) 14:49, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, that article is indeed very good...I can't let the predicting the future slide, though – we have to decide now whether he is notable based on sources that exist now, and the state of the article is irrelevant to his notability. If you have any more sources up your sleeve, though, I'd be happy to take a look. Toadspike [Talk] 15:05, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, I completely disagree; the current version of the article does not establish notability. None of the citations in the article are significant enough to count towards the GNG. We have one (1) source with significant coverage and it's not included in the article yet, putting us very far from a WP:HEY. Still no-one has been able to explain how a 14th-place finish meets any NATH criterion. And, to my astonishment, not even Cunard was able to find more sources. I am unstriking my delete !vote. Toadspike [Talk] 21:51, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your comments even when we disagree. If you're referring to the SINA article above, that actually is included in the article now. NATH has always been subordinate to the general notability guideline, which can be met in a variety of ways including by WP:NEXIST. What is the reason we would expect Cunard to have found more sources? --Habst (talk) 12:39, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: at the very worst, the outcome should be draftify which is the preferred outcome when a person who looks somewhat/semi-notable might become even more notable in the next 6 months. That means until 1 October 2025, covering the entire 2025 season in the sport of athletics. Geschichte (talk) 08:41, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify per Geschichte. We are not at GNG yet. GNG requires multiple reliable secondary sources with independent and significant coverage. What was there before did not meet these criteria as discussed. Habst added 3 sources, but two are from the same outlet [17] and thus count as one for GNG (and that is without going into detail of the other criteria for the source, such as whether the coverage is independent), and the other source is very much a passing mention. But the passing mention is of what this Chinese outlet sees as a future hope. Although we don't keep pages that don't meet GNG, Geschichte is right to flag that this one may become notable next season. Incubating the article in draft space is an acceptable WP:ATD.

Keep. Bonaqua appears to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Independent and reliable sources, such as Retail Asia, Marketing Interactive, Macau Business, and Taiwan News, provide significant coverage of the brand, particularly its market leadership in Hong Kong (verified by Nielsen data) and its notable sustainability initiatives like the launch of label-less bottles and returnable glass bottles. The brand has also received industry awards for its sustainability efforts. While the current Wikipedia article relies heavily on primary sources, the existence of substantial independent coverage demonstrates that the topic is notable and verifiable. The article should be improved by incorporating these independent sources. --Xrimonciam (talk) 08:47, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional keep, at worst draftify. The entry is false in that Bonaqua is sold in many other places than Hong Kong. For instance in Norway, where it is a long-lasting and ubiquitous water brand in segments such as natural mineral water and flavored non-carbonated water. Here is some coverage, mainly about how the production in Fyresdal was set up: [18] [19] [20]. The market shares are often covered, this regards Bonaqua's challenge towards the two market leaders, Ringnes' Imsdal [no] and Hansa Borg's Olden (water) [no]. [21] As a curiosity, here are two product tests from Dagens Næringsliv, in which Bonaqua scored 3 points out of 10, one point lower than tapwater. [22] [23]. It is bad that the article currently has these dreadful sources, something should be done in order to strengthen my keep stance. Geschichte (talk) 09:05, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How about, we change the title to Bonaqua (Hong Kong). Now, mostly the page is written by me. I do agree that the sources are lacking but it doesnt justify just deleting the whole thing. As a Hong Konger, Bonaqua is a water brand of Hong Kong. Its distribution in Hong Kong is handled by Swire, not coca cola and the Bonaqua sold in other countries arent exactly the same as ours, therefore i believe they're not even the same brand but just different projects by coca cola under the same product name? SmartDio97 (talk) 13:39, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Coca Cola (or Swire if that is more appropriate). None of the sources in the article are independent, and I do not find independent sources. The Norwegian ones listed here are routine company news. Lamona (talk) 02:29, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Afghanistan in the ABU TV Song Festival

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

Originally created when the event was announced in a Eurovision Song Contest-style format for each participating country, however this event has not gained nearly the same level of media attention or general awareness, and thus I believe individual country articles outlining participation in these events do not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidance. Specifically I refer to WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV, as from what I can see coverage of these events is limited to fan media and promotional releases. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:36, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are part of the same series of country articles for the ABU Song Festivals:

Delete per nom. The sources for these articles are either primary sources (the ABU) or Eurovision-related sites that include passing mention of ABU participants (since the idea is that these events would be appealing to ESC fans). Even with that, the information was largely reformatted from press releases. As the nominator noted, these events never gained traction nor are they competitive like their inspiration's format. The yearly occurrences (ABU Radio Song Festival 2012, ABU TV Song Festival 2012, etc, - both GAs!) appear to have enough coverage, but I'm not sure what's accomplished by having a list of the handful of songs that each country 'sent' to be showcases (not voted on by the public). It's an interesting event, but these pages are remnants of an attempt to treat it like its much larger/more impactful, which was a product of being part of the former WP:ESC and its page creation structure (now deprecated for non-competitive events). These pages could be replaced by a single article "List of ABU Radio Song Festival songs" or whathaveyou, but that's probably the extent of it given where notability stands and I wouldn't make this deletion contingent on its creation (or an alternative). Grk1011 (talk) 13:12, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A merge as suggested by Grk1011 might be useful. It could probably fit on ABU Radio Song Festival rather than a new page, that's not a very exhaustive article. CMD (talk) 07:13, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with ABU Radio Song Festival : as WP:Alternative to deletion. Was a check of sources in the language(s) of every country performed? Because that is what should have been done... -Mushy Yank. 18:40, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The main article won't benefit from any of the by-country detail, which is already covered in aggregate by the yearly competition articles. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:04, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The review notes: "Galaxy Xtreme Tuner软件由影驰自主研发，并随该厂的GeForce 9600GT HDMI显卡附送，暂时只适用于该显卡。打开软件的控制面板，大家会发现其界面与其他厂商的显卡超频软件颇为相似，主要提供Shader频率、图形核心频率及显存频率调整功能，前两者还可设置为非同步模式进行调整，而且幅度极大。"
  From Google Translate: "Galaxy Xtreme Tuner software is independently developed by Galaxy and comes with the GeForce 9600GT HDMI graphics card of the factory. It is only applicable to this graphics card for the time being. Open the control panel of the software, you will find that its interface is quite similar to other manufacturers' graphics card overclocking software, mainly providing shader frequency, graphics core frequency and video memory frequency adjustment functions. The first two can also be set to asynchronous mode for adjustment, and the amplitude is very large."
  The article notes: "根据笔者个人所作测试来看，在默认模式中把图形核心和内存频率提高，并把Shader频率设置为与核心频率同步，而风扇供电则保持为“Auto”模式。测试结果发现，预设频率为650/1800MHz的影驰9600GT显卡的最高图形核心超频能力为777MHz，显存则可超频到2266MHz，3DMark06测试得分由11382分提高到11715分，性能增幅为2.9%。"
  From Google Translate: "According to the author's personal test, the graphics core and memory frequencies are increased in the default mode, and the Shader frequency is set to synchronize with the core frequency, while the fan power supply remains in "Auto" mode. The test results show that the maximum graphics core overclocking capability of the Galaxy 9600GT graphics card with a preset frequency of 650/1800MHz is 777MHz, and the video memory can be overclocked to 2266MHz. The 3DMark06 test score increased from 11382 points to 11715 points, and the performance increase was 2.9%."

  The article notes: "影驰9600GT中将版显卡采用了非公版PCB设计，使用了全封闭式电感搭配日本化工固态电容，整体做工扎实，用料非常不错。... 踏入2009年，首先值得我们记忆的就有影驰9600GT中将，这款显卡在08年的12月初就以699元的低价示人，这款显卡拥有强劲的供电配置、相当有个性的散热系统，加上默认高频以及低廉的售价，在09年的市场上就率先火了一把!以笔者的记忆，当时可谓受到众多的DIYer关注，几乎全国都出现有价无货的场面。而影驰9600GT中将在2009年的率先获得成功，除了产品的质量之外，很大程度上也要多得影驰市场运营上的成熟，与对消费者消费独到理解。而笔者认为影驰9600GT中将如果失去了一群出色的市场营销人员，那么它的确会失色不少。"
  From Google Translate: "The GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition graphics card uses a non-public version PCB design, uses a fully enclosed inductor with a Japanese chemical solid capacitor, and has a solid overall workmanship and very good materials. ... Entering 2009, the first thing worth remembering is the GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition. This graphics card was shown at the beginning of December 2008 at a low price of 699 yuan. This graphics card has a strong power supply configuration, a very unique cooling system, a default high frequency and a low price. It was the first to become popular in the market in 2009! As far as I remember, it attracted the attention of many DIYers at that time, and there was a situation of being out of stock almost all over the country. The GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition was the first to succeed in 2009. In addition to the quality of the product, it was also largely due to the maturity of GALAX's market operations and its unique understanding of consumer consumption. And the author believes that if the GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition lost a group of outstanding marketing personnel, it would indeed lose a lot of color."

Every year, more than millions of graphics cards and computer accessories are sold all over the world, including Southeast Asia, Europe, South America, South Africa and other places."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow GALAX (simplified Chinese: 影驰; traditional Chinese: 影馳) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
