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.

- Delete: I am unable to access the Shanghai Daily source in the article (source 2), and the other sources are all unreliable primary sources. By googling the subject's name in Chinese (凱洱), I found only one article mentioning him as part of the cast in a 2023 film called Variant[1]. Even searching for the subject on Douban shows that he has appeared in only eleven roles, most of them are just cast extras and none of which seem significant.

- Keep: I agree with the nom that the article currently documents too many "controversies" which potentially violates NPOV. Some minor incidents, such as the subject being scolded by her father in public or her endorsements of candidates, are totally UNDUE and can certainly be removed. However, I believe most content can stay, as much of the subject's political career involved dirty work, supported by numerous sources and opinion pieces like the one from Apple Daily by Neil Peng (source 33). Although NPOV is a serious concern, AFD is not cleanup, and I do not think notability is an issue for the subject. Currently, there are more than 30 sources listed in the article, with even more in the zhwiki one. I scanned through the first 10 sources, and sources 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 all provided SIGCOV on the subject and are certainly enough to pass GNG. Not to mention a simple Google News search can already yield many full articles about the subject, such as these articles from Central News Agency[2] and ETtoday[3]. I also think that her case regarding the violation of conflict of interest should be sufficient to meet WP:PERP. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 06:22, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

topic still seems unimportant
" is not a deletion rationale but a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 13:47, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect to Tsing_Ma_Bridge#Tourism - I don't think the sources constitute significant coverage, Source 1 and 4 are basically the same article from the same source, Source 5 is barely in-depth and just those two sources don't reach the level required; this article will never be able to expanded upon based on the available sources. I think merging into Tsing_Ma_Bridge#Tourism would be better. :JeffUK 14:01, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Merge with Tsing_Ma_Bridge#Tourism: "Seems unimportant" is not a reason for deletion, but everything I found (with the help of Google translate) ties it into the bridge. Length isn't an issue, so I think a merger makes the most sense here. Star Mississippi 14:10, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- @JeffUK and Star Mississippi: I am interested to hear more detailed comments on the sources from you guys. Even if articles from the same media outlet count as one like Jeff suggested, the Oriental Daily News articles are a still decent source that detail the development and current condition of the visitor centre's lack of maintenance. The am730 article is
barely in-depth
? The 1,800-word article is entirely about the centre, ranging from its construction history, to its tourism development, and to the recent public discussions about revitalization. I would really like to hear what Jeff thinks this article is about if you believe it is not focused on the visitor centre, and how does it relate to the bridge when it was only briefly mentioned for four times throughout the article? GNG only requires SIGCOV from multiple sources, and these two articles already meet the criterion, not to mention other sources currently listed in the article, like the Sing Tao Daily article (source 9) which is also entirely about the centre and viewing platform. I think a potential factor leading to our varied analyses of the sources may stem from the disregard for the mentions of the viewing platform in those articles. The official name of the location is actually Lantau Link Visitors Centre and Viewing Platform[6][7] (like the Chinese translation suggested: 青嶼幹綫訪客中心及觀景台), and they are the same place. (I believe a move is much needed if this article is to be kept.). —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 14:32, 20 December 2024 (UTC)- As WP:GNG says "This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page." I think it will look great as a part of the Tsing Ma Bridge article. On the specific source, barely means 'it is in-depth, but only just', the fact it's 1,800 words long isn't relevant, it's a lot of talk that says very little, the reason we have WP:SIGCOV is, partly, to ensure there is enough unique information available for us to create an article. JeffUK 15:17, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with @JeffUK here @Prince of Erebor. The reader wants to learn about the bridge, which includes this viewing area. They are the same subject and it makes sense for them to be covered together. WP:NOPAGE is also helpful here. It would be different if there was information independent of the bridge and/or there was a length issue. I think the official name isn't a strong issue, it can be addressed with a redirect should this close as merge or be retained as a standalone. Star Mississippi 15:28, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- [Edit conflict] JeffUK, I apologize if my emphasis on the article's length caused confusion. I understand that your initial comment was about the article lacking SIGCOV on the subject, which I respectfully disagreed with, as the article is entirely focused on it. I do not believe your interpretation of SIGCOV aligns with what SIGCOV means. SIGCOV refers to a source that
addresses the topic directly and in detail
, rather than providing only a passing or brief mention, so I do not think the am730 article fails to meet SIGCOV. I think you are more likely referring to WP:NOPAGE, and I understand your perspective and the rationale that notability alone does not guarantee a standalone article. If the current article were a stub with only two sentences and only two sources just to bypass GNG, I definitely agree with you. But the article has sufficient notability, especially with a revitalization project underway and ongoing news coverage, including articles published as recently as this year (the Our China Story source). Therefore, I do not agree with your assertion that the article has no potential for expansion, and I do not see a need to merge it. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 15:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)- Sorry, Star Mississippi, we were writing at the same time, and my comment was only addressing Jeff's arguments. However, I also thought you guys were leaning towards the NOPAGE side, and imo, the revitalization project mentioned in the am730 source already indicates the subject's independence from the bridge. I realize I may have failed to express my final comments regarding the official name of the Centre. What I meant to convey is that the viewing platform is also part of the subject, so perhaps you guys overlooked the lines discussing the viewing platform or observation deck and thought they referred to the bridge instead of the Centre, because I was a bit confused when multiple editors found that article lacked in-depth coverage of the subject. Apologies for the confusion. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 15:54, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Anyway, thanks both for clarifying things for me and I now understand the arguments from you guys, which focus not on the sources but on the lack of independence of the subject. Let's see what other editors have to say about this. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 16:11, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- All good @Prince of Erebor and we'll see where this lands. I'm not against retention, I'm just not sure it's the best solution for readers. Thanks, as always, for your detailed input. Star Mississippi 19:15, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Notability#Whether to create standalone pages
Wikipedia:Notability#Whether to create standalone pages says:
The guideline says to consider three questions:When creating new content about a notable topic, editors should consider how best to help readers understand it. Often, understanding is best achieved by presenting the topic on a dedicated standalone page, but it is not required that we do so; at times it is better to cover a notable topic as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context (and doing so in no way disparages the importance of the topic).
Does other information provide needed context? Sometimes, a notable topic can be covered better as part of a larger article, where there can be more complete context that would be lost on a separate page"
– I do not think context would be lost by covering Lantau Link Visitors Centre on its own page.Do related topics provide needed context? Sometimes, several related topics, each of them similarly notable, can be collected into a single page, where the relationships between them can be better appreciated than if they were each a separate page
– I think that a brief mention of Lantau Link Visitors Centre in Tsing Ma Bridge#Tourism is sufficient and that merging the entire article about the centre to there would not allow relationships to be "better appreciated than if they were each a separate page".What sourcing is available now? Sometimes, when a subject is notable, but it is unlikely that there ever will be a lot to write about it, editors should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of creating a permanent stub.
– there is a lot to write about. This article is already much larger than a "permanent stub". It could be further expanded with the additional sources I've presented here.
- Tsing Yi island – this bridge is on the island
- Tsing Ma Bridge#Tourism – sources mention that this bridge can be seen from the centre
- Kap Shui Mun Bridge – sources mention that this bridge can be seen from the centre
- Ting Kau Bridge – sources mention that this bridge can be seen from the centre
When there are this many merge targets, I'm inclined to support a standalone article. A merge to any of those pages would result in undue weight. The sources discuss the centre's history, the various government entities that managed it over the years, why it became in disrepair and the plans to fix it, the three bridges that can be seen from it, the contents of the centre ("the information models, photos, and interactive games about the bridges"), and the flowers around it ("It is the place with the largest number of Rhododendrons planted in a single location in Hong Kong"). There is sufficient content and sources to support a standalone article about the centre.

Archived from the original on 2024-12-23. Retrieved 2024-12-23.The article notes: "青馬大橋是香港道路重要的一部分,它聯同汲水門大橋,共同擔當連接大嶼山、赤鱲角香港國際機場與市區的唯一行車通道。同時也成為香港的重要地標和景點,吸引了世界各地的遊客前往參觀。因此,政府在青衣西北部設立青嶼幹線訪客中心及觀景台,讓遊人可以較近距離或高角度遠眺青馬大橋、汲水門大橋及汀九橋。訪客中心及觀景台於1997年隨青嶼幹線通車對外開放。"From Google Translate: "The Tsing Ma Bridge is an important part of Hong Kong's roads. Together with the Kap Shui Mun Bridge, it serves as the only driving channel connecting Lantau Island, the Hong Kong International Airport in Chek Lap Kok and the urban area. At the same time, it has become an important landmark and attraction in Hong Kong, attracting tourists from all over the world. Therefore, the government has set up a Lantau Link Visitor Centre and Observation Deck in the northwest of Tsing Yi, allowing visitors to view the Tsing Ma Bridge, Kap Shui Mun Bridge and Ting Kau Bridge at a closer or higher angle. The visitor centre and observation deck were opened to the public in 1997 with the opening of the Lantau Link."

A82.The article notes: "青馬大橋除創造世界最長同類型吊橋紀錄外,包括青馬大橋在內的「機場核心計畫」也於1999 年榮獲美國建築界權威及編輯選為「二十世紀十大建築成就獎」得主之一,與巴拿馬運河、英法海峽隧道及三藩市金門大橋等其他九項工程齊名。位於青衣島西北端的青嶼幹線訪客中心及觀景台,是了解及觀賞這項壯觀建設的最佳地點,在訪客中心亦展出了幹線的模型,圖片及建築物樣本,於觀景台可將青嶼幹線的宏偉景色一覽無遺。"From Google Translate: "In addition to setting the world record for the longest suspension bridge of its kind, the "Airport Core Project" including the Tsing Ma Bridge was also selected by American architectural authorities and editors as one of the "Top Ten Architectural Achievements of the 20th Century" in 1999, along with nine other projects such as the Panama Canal, the Channel Tunnel and the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge. The Lantau Link Visitor Centre and Observation Deck, located at the northwest end of Tsing Yi Island, is the best place to understand and appreciate this spectacular construction. Models, pictures and building samples of the link are also exhibited in the visitor centre, and the magnificent scenery of the Lantau Link can be seen at a glance from the observation deck."
- Glad to see you found this @Cunard. I almost pinged you before I read @Prince of Erebor's user page and realized the extent to which they also had access to Chinese-language sourcing. Happy holidays and thanks as always for your detailed sourcing. Star Mississippi 15:44, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I extend the same appreciation to Cunard! You are always able to locate a variety of offline sources! Four of the sources you found are currently unused and are definitely good additions to expand the article. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 16:20, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. I think consensus above is that this Visitors Centre is notable, but there remains the question of merging/PAGEDECIDE. I personally see more than enough sourcing to create a proper article here, far beyond permastub territory, and I agree with Cunard that there isn't a great merge target. Probably Lantau Link would be the best merge target, but all suggestions above were for merging to Tsing_Ma_Bridge#Tourism. For these reasons I lean towards keeping this as a standalone article.

- Keep: This article fulfills WP:GNG, and as other editors have argued, there are too many targets for a redirect. In this case, I think a standalone page is appropriate and also necessary to avoid undue weight.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:41, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

This biography of a living person was published with no sources, and is promotional and unencyclopedic in tone. A ProQuest search yields 11 hits, all of which are brief mentions of her as a collaborator with Toby Fox and contributor of artwork to his video game, Undertale. A Google search yields more, but these do not meet Wikipedia standards for reliability (see WP:RELIABLESOURCES) and do not contribute to notability in the Wikipedia sense. Does not meet WP:BASIC, let alone WP:GNG. Cielquiparle (talk) 04:53, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Escaped Chasm. I've done source searching for her in the past out of curiosity regarding if she could have an article or not. She's not notable, and I don't think an argument could be made for her to pass WP:NARTIST either. So, with that being said, redirect this article to Escaped Chasm, which is a game that she created and actually has an article. λ NegativeMP1 04:57, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

This article seems to be written in a highly NPOV style, it almost reads like a political attack ad. I'm also not so sure this person even meets GNG and should not be considered notable through their brother(Although it is possible that I'm missing articles not in English).

- Keep: I agree with the nom that the article currently documents too many "controversies" which potentially violates NPOV. Some minor incidents, such as the subject being scolded by her father in public or her endorsements of candidates, are totally UNDUE and can certainly be removed. However, I believe most content can stay, as much of the subject's political career involved dirty work, supported by numerous sources and opinion pieces like the one from Apple Daily by Neil Peng (source 33). Although NPOV is a serious concern, AFD is not cleanup, and I do not think notability is an issue for the subject. Currently, there are more than 30 sources listed in the article, with even more in the zhwiki one. I scanned through the first 10 sources, and sources 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 all provided SIGCOV on the subject and are certainly enough to pass GNG. Not to mention a simple Google News search can already yield many full articles about the subject, such as these articles from Central News Agency[8] and ETtoday[9]. I also think that her case regarding the violation of conflict of interest should be sufficient to meet WP:PERP. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 06:22, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

No properly reliable sources, seemingly written by someone affiliated. Found a profile on CommonWealth Magazine (Taiwan), but that is not enough for company notability. IgelRM (talk) 20:05, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
