Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Taiwan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MainDiscussMembersRequestsTasksFeaturedResourcesPortal


This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Taiwan. 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:
  1. 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.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Taiwan|~~~~}} 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 Taiwan. 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.

Not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG, and while a scholar search does show several works which are well cited, they are not in this person's field of study, so are most likely a different individual. Fails WP:NSCHOLAR. Onel5969 TT me 11:01, 2 April 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.

      The article notes: "柳書琴教授、陳建忠教授兩位學者任教於靜宜大學中文系,和台文所游勝冠教授一樣,都是出身清華大學中文系博士班的前後期同學。出身歷史系的柳書琴教授,自碩士班以來即專注戰爭期台灣文學的研究,博士論文更以《福爾摩沙》作家群在東京留學時期的文學活動為對象,史料蒐集之完整、田調功夫下得之深,無人能出其右。"

      From Google Translate: "Professor Liu Shuqin and Professor Chen Jianzhong both teach in the Department of Chinese at Providence University. Like Professor You Shengguan from the Taiwan Literature Institute, they were former and current classmates in the doctoral program of the Chinese Department at Tsinghua University. Professor Liu Shuqin, who graduated from the Department of History, has focused on the study of wartime Taiwanese literature since her master's program. Her doctoral dissertation was based on the literary activities of the "Formosa" writers while they were studying in Tokyo. No one can match her in terms of the completeness of her historical data collection and the depth of her field research. ... Liu Shuqin, whose mother is from the Ma Yuan Dan community, both returned to the tribe to assist and even initiated new research projects."

      The article notes: "共有7名青年走完全程;擁有一半丹社群血統的清華大學台灣文學所教授柳書琴進行日本集團移住史調查,調查成果展今天回到馬遠社區舉辦,... 母親是馬遠丹社群人的柳書琴,2人都重返部落協助,還開啟新的研究計畫。"

      From Google Translate: "A total of 7 young people completed the journey; Professor Liu Shuqin of the Department of Taiwanese Literature at Tsinghua University, who is half Dan community descent, conducted a survey on the history of Japanese group immigration, and the survey results exhibition was held in Mayuan Community today."

      The article notes: "柳書琴也說,她從小在馬遠生活、直到11歲才離開,發生遺骨事件後,她回到馬遠,「不管怎樣都要跟族人在一起」,並開始採錄部落阿公阿嬤們的故事。她說,從前,馬遠只是她回來探親、渡假的地方,現在已是學術研究重點,年初還帶20歲兒子加入尋根隊伍,遺骨事件讓馬遠的丹社人重新連結在一起,希望成為部落團結、文化復興的轉捩點。"

      From Google Translate: "Liu Shuqin also said that she lived in Mayuan since she was a child and did not leave until she was 11 years old. After the remains incident, she returned to Mayuan, "to be with my people no matter what," and began to record the stories of the grandparents in the tribe. She said that in the past, Mayuan was just a place she came back to visit relatives and for vacation, but now it has become the focus of academic research. At the beginning of the year, she brought her 20-year-old son to join the root-seeking team. The remains incident has reconnected the Danshe people of Mayuan, and she hopes it will become a turning point for tribal unity and cultural revival."

      The abstract notes: "此外筆者從柳書琴的研究中發現到《風月報》內容以都會女性相關議題爲大宗,重要寫作者分布在臺北,"

      From Google Translate: "In addition, the author discovered from Liu Shuqin's research that the content of Fengyuebao mainly focused on issues related to urban women, and its important writers were located in Taipei."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Liu Shuqin (traditional Chinese: 柳書琴; simplified Chinese: 柳书琴) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Doesn't meet Wikipedia:Notability or Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Several sources are paid content farms or passing mentions and most were published in the month before the page was published. Page has been speedy deleted before by Deepfriedokra for WP:G11. Seems like PR.}} Milkywaythegodfather (talk) 17:53, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- the fishy content farms as sources and the previous speedy deletion is a red flag for [WP:PROMO]] in my opinion. ロドリゲス恭子 (talk) 20:03, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

      The article notes: "Over on Jacky Chou’s YouTube channel, many prospective entrepreneurs look for tasks to do for money, often to aid in either some form of SEO. The magnitude of this tit-for-tat battle is stunning. Chou’s company, Indexsy, maintains a behind-the-scenes role, acquiring digital properties and implementing marketing tactics designed to increase their value. ... Raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Chou, 33, was introduced early to the value of discipline and careful planning. He studied Electrical Engineering at the University of British Columbia, concentrating on power analysis and grid mapping, and participated in the Engineering Mentorship Program. Though he remained focused on technical coursework, he was intrigued by the broader possibilities of the online economy. ... Chou began researching ways to generate income on the internet, and took his first steps into Berlin’s technology scene, working as a Traffic Acquisition Manager at Kontakt.io from June 2016 to December 2016. ... Later, over the course of roughly eleven months at EyeEm, a photography startup, he worked on generating leads from Fortune 1000 companies. He set up lead scoring and nurturing systems, aiming to identify the right time to engage with prospective clients. Meanwhile, Chou had already laid the groundwork for Indexsy, which he founded in 2015 while still based in Vancouver."

      The article notes: "... Jacky Chou, a well-followed search engine optimization (SEO) guy, laments in a YouTube video about the updates titled "I GOT CLAPPED (Google March Spam Update). ... Chou has been publishing a YouTube video almost every day for months, sharing his SEO tips and tactics for raking in click revenue by gaming Google's algorithm. Many of the practices he recommends, like spinning up synthetic sites or mass-producing AI-generated commerce posts, certainly fall afoul of Google's guidelines. That said, we didn't find Chou through his YouTube channel, or on any other social media. We came across him after stumbling upon some of the automated spam carrying his name. ... The Pixelfy posts are also strikingly similar to the AI-generated "blog" content Chou's churned out at an e-commerce site he owns and operates called Far & Away."

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

Keep: in agreement with Cunard. The WP:THREE best sources are the two above and this Business of Home [2], maybe Reader's Digest. Reviewed this and it was previously deleted for G11 but this version wouldn't meet it. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 03:51, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
