Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/China

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:
  1. 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|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.

ISSN 2352-5398.

      The abstract notes: "The construction of scientific and effective “situation and policy” course teaching evaluation system is an important part of the evaluation system of ideological and political education in colleges and universities. And to clarify the basic characteristics of teaching evaluation of "Situation and Policy" course is the basic premise of building a scientific teaching evaluation system. The paper attempts to analyze and reflect on the teaching evaluation of "Situation and Policy" course, and summarizes its basic characteristics. It concludes that the teaching evaluation of "Situation and Policy" course has the basic characteristics of the unification of knowledge evaluation and value evaluation, internal evaluation and external evaluation, realistic evaluation and expected evaluation, and individual evaluation and collective evaluation. All these lay the foundation for scientific teaching evaluation."

  • 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.

A Canadian citizen whose parents emigrated from China, Jiang, who is thirty-seven, helped establish an experimental high-school program in Shenzhen in 2008 and now works for Tsinghua Fuzhong, Tsinghua University’s Affiliated High School. He just published a book in China called Creative China about his experiences in Chinese public schools. I spoke to him in Beijing in late March about the future of education in China."

Jiang’s professional background spans journalism, documentary filmmaking, and international development, including a role with the United Nations. Between 2008 and 2012, he led the development of innovative study abroad programs at two of China’s top public schools, Shenzhen Middle School and Peking University High School, focusing on nurturing global citizenship and independent thought among Chinese students. In 2014, he published Creative China, a book that chronicles his efforts and vision for transforming education in China. Jiang holds a degree in English literature from Yale College, where he graduated with distinction in 1999."

      The article notes: "For all his championing of elite education, Jiang Xueqin never really fit in at Yale, particularly with wealthier students. After graduating in 1999, he began his career as a China stringer for foreign news outlets. But he rarely got along well with anyone. “The editors made me write an article about how serious AIDS was [in China]. I felt that tuberculosis was far more of an issue, but the Americans didn’t care. It was unethical,” says Jiang. Almost no job lasted longer than six months — on one occasion, he quit in dismay after just one month. ... Those early days after Yale, a dejected Jiang often spent his days at home, drinking and playing video games late into the night. Then, his first real opportunity knocked, nine years after he returned from the U.S. In 2008, Wang asked Jiang to teach and help in reforming Shenzhen Middle School. They first met in the late 1990s at the Affiliated High School of Peking University (AHSPU), one of Beijing’s top high schools, where Jiang briefly worked as a foreign teacher."

      The article notes: "江学勤的专业并非教育,而是英国文学。提起在中国从事教育的缘起,得提到1998年他到北大附中短期任教的经历,那时他还在耶鲁求学,请了一个学期的假回到中国,只是单纯想了解自己的祖国,那时他还不会一句中文。在那里他认识了同样的理想主义者王铮,后者当时是北大附中的副校长。他们自然而然成了好朋友,并时常讨论中国教育问题。1999年江学勤从耶鲁毕业后,当过记者和纪录片制作人,也曾在阿富汗为联合国工作过,但这些工作在他心中并没有显得弥足珍贵,因为从这些工作他看不到未来,于是他跟它们一一道别了。"

      From Google Translate: "Jiang Xueqin's major was not education, but English literature. His involvement in education in China began with his short-term teaching experience at the High School Affiliated to Peking University in 1998. At that time, he was still studying at Yale and took a semester off to return to China, simply wanting to understand his ancestral country. At that time, he didn't speak a word of Chinese. There, he met Wang Zheng, a fellow idealist who was then the vice-principal of the High School Affiliated to Peking University. They naturally became good friends and often discussed Chinese education issues. After graduating from Yale in 1999, Jiang Xueqin worked as a journalist and documentary filmmaker, and also worked for the United Nations in Afghanistan. However, these jobs didn't seem particularly valuable to him because he couldn't see a future in them, so he said goodbye to them one by one."

      The article notes: "《纽约时报》在刊登该篇报道的同时,邀请了北京大学附属中学校长助理江学勤在《高等教育纪事》报撰文,谈谈他认识的中国学生。江学勤是加拿大籍华裔,1999年从耶鲁大学毕业之后来到中国,十几年来一直从事与教育相关的工作。在他看来,中国留学生出现报道中提及的种种问题,美国大学难辞其咎。"

      From Google Translate: "The New York Times, while publishing the aforementioned report, also invited Jiang Xueqin, assistant principal of the High School Affiliated to Peking University, to write an article for The Chronicle of Higher Education, discussing his observations of Chinese students. Jiang Xueqin is a Canadian citizen of Chinese descent who came to China after graduating from Yale University in 1999 and has been working in education for over a decade. In his view, American universities are largely to blame for the various problems mentioned in the report regarding Chinese international students."

  • Selective merge/redirect to Nyingchi#Economy per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. I reviewed the sources in the Wikipedia article and found them to be passing mentions or to not mention the subject. I did searches for sources and did not find significant coverage. The subject does not meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. I support a selective merge of a sentence or two to Nyingchi#Economy. I am fine with a merge of even more content if the information can be supported by the sources.

    A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow editors to selectively merge any content that can be reliably sourced to the target article. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future.

Not seeing any evidence of a WP:NACADEMIC pass (or otherwise) for this Chinese engineer. His h-index of 15 (per Scopus) is quite low for a senior faculty member. Being a dean of a university's sub-unit does not count for NACADEMIC#6. The sources provided don't (via machine translation) indicate WP:SIGCOV or speak to a particularly notable impact inside or outside of academia. I also didn't find anything relevant in searches of the Wikipedia Library. I'm open to sources that demonstrate notability (particularly given the language barrier), but since this professor doesn't even have a zh-wiki page I'm skeptical any will turn up.

  • Comment - This was a major international event. Having taken place in 1996, readily-available online sources on the subject will be few-and-far between, but I would be highly-surprised if this did not receive a large amount of coverage in contemporary offline publications. Lacking access to relevant archives I cannot verify with certainty that such WP:SIGCOV would exist, but I would oppose deleting this article without a comprehensive check for offline sources being performed first.

I would note that this event was far more significant than most of the other BPR races that year, both in terms of its entry list and media interest.

      The review notes: "But this is Wai’s acting showcase and she makes it look effortless. The former martial arts star is arguably the best Hong Kong actress working today and has played an extremely eclectic range of mother characters in movies – and excelled in almost every one of them. This may well be one of her easier assignments. The unmistakably positive outlook in Sunshine of My Life may strike some as a little cloying. But look beyond that and you may just find a bittersweet little gem at its core."

      The article notes: "The story of Sunshine of My Life's story had been over a decade in development. Chu had created the script while majoring in acting at the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, inspired by the emotions that had arisen as a result of the microaggressions people had towards her parents’ disability. The script became the basis of a 15-minute short, Undernourished?, which was released in 2014. It was selected for the Ifva (Incubator for Film and Visual media) festival in the same year and Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival in 2015. When audience members told her how amazed they were at her parents’ achievements, Chu decided to expand it into a feature film. She worked closely with Raymond Wong, the founder of Mandarin Motion Pictures, which is behind the Ip Man franchise, on the script—Wong had been deeply touched by the director’s personal story."

      The article notes: "王梓健於2021年成立了「WAVINCITY – 香港城市聲音記錄計劃」,現場錄下環境聲音,製成網上聲音地圖和聲音圖書館,讓聽眾感受街道上時地人事的變化。記者隨他到大角嘴和油麻地一帶實地考察,約在某個周四下午,還以為搞音響做音樂大抵也是頭戴耳機,手插褲袋,當記者忙着翻找着卡片,未見其人,先聞其聲,王梓健先打了一聲招呼:「你好。」沉而厚實的聲音,彬彬有禮。耳朵和眼睛每每爭相接收信息,這時候不得不說聽覺比視覺更勝一籌。"

      From Google Translate: "In 2021, Wong established the WAVINCITY – Hong Kong City Sound Documentation Project, which recorded environmental sounds on site to create an online sound map and sound library, allowing listeners to feel the changes in time, place and people on the streets. The reporter followed him to Tai Kok Tsui and Yau Ma Tei area field trip, about a Thursday afternoon, thought to engage in audio to make music is probably also wearing headphones, hands in his pockets, when the reporter was busy looking for cards, did not see the person, first heard his voice, Wong Tsz Kin first said hello: "Hello. The ears and eyes often scramble to receive information, and at this time it has to be said that hearing is superior to vision。"

      The article notes: "王梓健四圍錄音,一開始是因應工作需要,慢慢卻發現城市之聲隨近年經歷社會事件、疫情、移民潮,以及全面通關等有了很大變化,便想把它們更廣泛地傳播開去。那麼這些路過時聽到的雜音,有何值得他特設網站記錄?... 這座城市的變化又豈止是紅綠燈聲?其實街道每日人來人往,每一刻看到的路人都覺陌生。靜聽海泓道的人聲車聲,不知不覺到了放學時間,一大班小學生雀躍地衝出校門,嬉笑聲盡收入王梓健的錄音機中。王梓健的「聲音圖書館」現時收錄了54段環境聲,有蟬聲、裝修聲和炒栗子聲等,每段錄音都是獨一無二的,因為全都是當時當刻錄製,沒有重複,"

      From Google Translate: "Wong Tsz Kin's background recordings began as a work necessity, but he gradually realized that the city's sounds had changed significantly in recent years due to social events, the pandemic, immigration, and the full reopening of borders. He wanted to spread these sounds more widely. So, what made these random noises he heard while passing by worth recording on a special website? ... The changes in this city are far more than just traffic lights. In fact, the streets are bustling with people every day, and every passerby feels like a stranger. Listening quietly to the sounds of people and cars on Hai Hong Road, he realized it was time for school to let out, and a large group of primary school students excitedly rushed out of the school gate, their laughter filling Wong Tsz Kin's recorder. Wong Tsz Kin's "Sound Library" currently contains 54 environmental sound recordings, including cicada sounds, construction noise, and the sound of roasting chestnuts. Each recording is unique because they were all recorded at the exact moment, with no duplicates."

      The book notes: "近年隨著香港社會急速變遷,聲音漫步結合聲音藝術延伸成為一種記錄時代、連結社區的方式。來自音響工程背景的王梓健於2020年新冠疫情期間,開始走訪香港不同社區,收錄各樣的環境聲音,創辦了「香港城市聲音紀錄計劃」(WAVINCITY)網絡平台31,設有「聲音圖書館」,公開免費讓大眾聆聽不同社區的聲音。他認為不同社區的環境聲音乍聽之下相似,其實卻不一樣,就像天水圍、元朗、上水的街市聲音,會因為居民及攤販的組成各異而產生不同的聲景,而機場聲音則記錄了一個時代下一些人的聚散離合。"

      From Google Translate: "In recent years, with the rapid changes in Hong Kong society, sound walks combined with sound art have become a way to record the times and connect with the community. Wong Tsz Kin, with a background in sound engineering, began visiting different communities in Hong Kong during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, collecting various environmental sounds and founding the "WAVINCITY" online platform 31, which includes a "sound library" that allows the public to listen to the sounds of different communities free of charge. He believes that the environmental sounds of different communities may sound similar at first glance, but they are actually different. For example, the sounds of the markets in Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long, and Sheung Shui will create different soundscapes due to the different composition of residents and vendors, while the sounds of the airport record the gatherings and separations of some people in an era."

This project uses live recording to capture the cityscape of Hong Kong at different times, places, and with different people. Wong explains, "Sound itself doesn't have images; we can only hear it. Images come from our minds—perhaps from memory, perhaps from imagination—to supplement the sound (information)." Sound evokes memories, as exemplified by "The Blue Danube," a piece that has been played for years alongside Hong Kong ice cream trucks."

        From Google Translate: "Unlike the method used by the HKUST team, Wong Tsz Kin, the founder of "WAVINCITY – Hong Kong City Sound Recording Project," chose to record the "audible" memories of the city. His online sound library and sound map include everything from the lively discussions of residents in To Kwa Wan to the sounds of chestnut vendors' stoves in Sham Shui Po. He said that listening to the recordings later allows him to recall what was happening at the time, such as when people or vehicles passed by, which is an interesting experience. During the process of collecting city sounds, he also discovered significant differences in the soundscapes of old and new areas. Older districts have more interaction between people and the environment, resulting in a richer soundscape with street vendors' calls and residents' conversations; newer housing estates or residential areas have sounds concentrated in indoor spaces like shopping malls, with relatively fewer sounds on the streets."

      The article notes: "Meanwhile, a lesser-known equivalent is picking up momentum in Hong Kong and mainland China thanks to the persevering efforts of the World Dog Alliance (WDA), a non-profit Hong Kong-based organisation dedicated to fighting for a worldwide ban on the consumption of dog meat. September 26 has been named Dog Lovers' Day by the WDA, and it is the most important annual event for the charity since it was launched three years ago. In Cantonese, "9-2-6" sounds phonetically similar to gau yi luk, which literally means "dogs are easily happy", but can also be read to mean these four-legged animals can easily make people happy. The group's founder, Peng Hong-ling, wants to remind people that these animals bring us more than just comfort and loyal companionship. The first Dog Lovers' Day was launched in 2015 in various cities, including Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Washington, London and Milan. A call-to-action documentary made by the WDA was released to highlight the cruel dog trade in Asia. ... But the biggest challenge the WDA faces remains in this region, with many obstacles often propped up by so-called cultural tradition. The WDA has honoured many activists from Taiwan who went out of their way to help eliminate the dog flesh trade. One helped police look for evidence to bring offenders to justice, while another wrote about 1,000 letters to lobby officials on the mainland to support a ban on the trade."

      The article notes: "Hong Kong-based advocacy group, World Dog Alliance (WDA), which has pushed for this US legislation, aims to push forward similar legislation in 100 countries. The US legislation is of utmost importance as it sends a message to the world that a civil society should not allow such cruel practices of consuming dog meat. The legal ban on dog meat consumption enables the US to take the lead in fighting for animal welfare and defending morality. This sets the direction of human progress and lays one pivotal milestone in animal protection, which will hopefully be soon emulated in Asia. WDA is the only organisation in Asia, if not the world, that advocates the total legal ban of dog meat consumption across the globe. ... In China, one-fifth of the population treat dogs as food and they mostly live in second- and third-tier cities. The WDA recently pushed its campaigning and legislative efforts in China by hosting the fourth annual 9/26 Dog Lovers' Day event, which is an exhibition that educates attendees about the legislative efforts of animal charities such as the WDA. However, the efforts in Congress will spur WDA's continued commitment to furthering the rights of our four-legged friends, and will also begin to transform society's attitudes to the consumption of dogs and of their welfare in general."

He is the founder of the World Dog Alliance and a key figure behind Taiwan's legislation banning dog meat. The painting features an image of the 2018 South Korean Winter Olympics, and Xuanling clearly articulates his vision... The World Dog Alliance was established in Hong Kong less than three years ago, and its name might be unfamiliar to some. Originally from Guizhou but raised in Shanghai, Xuanling explained that because Hong Kong has clear laws banning the consumption of cat and dog meat, he uses Hong Kong as a base to promote legislation across Asia. He only spends about a third of his time in Hong Kong, but he speaks Cantonese fluently. The alliance's Hong Kong office also serves as Xuanling's gallery. Most of the paintings in the gallery are related to dogs; some depict his dozen or so dogs, while others relate to the theme of eating dog meat."

      The article notes: "世界愛犬聯盟(World Dog Alliance,簡稱WDA)致力推動禁食貓狗肉,他們正發起全球性聯署,目標為在10月前號召100萬人簽名,然後將聯署提交給英、美兩國,以推動訂立國際公約。該聯署現時只收集了約12萬多個簽名,離目標尚遠,市民可按此參與聯署。WDA成立於2014年6月21日,機構理念「改變人類社會,拯救貓狗。」WDA的創辦人Genlin深信,立法是唯一方法杜絕吃貓狗肉的陋習,因此一直大力推動各個國家修訂相關法例。WDA於2015年9月26日舉辦了第一屆「愛狗日」,其後又拍攝紀錄片「Eating Happiness」,揭露多個亞洲國家吃狗肉的不文明一面。這些來自國際的輿論壓力,使部份亞洲國家政府如南韓及越南,均有加強打擊狗肉業。"

      From Google Translate: "The World Dog Alliance (WDA), dedicated to promoting a ban on the consumption of cat and dog meat, has launched a global petition aiming to gather one million signatures by October. The petition will then be submitted to the UK and the US to push for the establishment of an international convention. Currently, the petition has only collected approximately 120,000 signatures, far from its target. Citizens can participate by clicking here. Founded on 21 June 2014, the WDA's mission is "to change human society and save cats and dogs." WDA founder Genlin firmly believes that legislation is the only way to eradicate the practice of eating cat and dog meat, and has therefore been actively advocating for the revision of relevant laws in various countries. The WDA held its first "Dog Day" on September 26, 2015, and subsequently produced the documentary "Eating Happiness," exposing the uncivilised practice of dog meat consumption in several Asian countries. This international pressure has led some Asian governments, such as South Korea and Vietnam, to strengthen their crackdown on the dog meat industry."

        The article notes: "A manifesto and propaganda for the nascent World Dog Alliance in Hong Kong, the advocacy documentary “Eating Happiness” boasts a polemic against the consumption of dog meat in mainland China, South Korea and Vietnam. It’s tough to stomach in more ways than one. Abuses by poachers — as well as canine carcasses piling up at the abattoir and inside food-stand vitrines — disturb and devastate à la Animal Planet’s “Confessions: Animal Hoarding.” A capricious, counterintuitive narrative also renders the film nearly unwatchable. It’s a shame because it not only spotlights passionate Chinese animal-rights advocates who exhaust their savings to spare dogs from the chopping block but also attempts to comprehend the rationale behind the practice."

  • Delete There's coverage, but there's a certain "sameness" whenever the company is mentioned and none of the sources exhibit the required in-depth independent content as required by WP:SIRS, specifically WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. The sources focus almost entirely on the issues surrounding the human consumption of dogs and various efforts to curb this practice and include only a basic description of the organization - this is insufficient for establishing notability. Even from the selected extracts which contain the best indications of notability from each source, it is clear that none provide any kind of *in-depth* independent content, failing CORPDEPTH and ORGIND.

    I was thinking the same. Cunard has done some excellent research, but none of the coverage is about this organisation. Most are passing mentions in relation to their campaign but anything deeper is about campaigns to ban dog meat, not this specific organisation with that mission. All that proves is that the organisation has a large PR budget, which also funded the creation of this article. At most, a mention in a relevant article and a redirect would be appropriate.

  • Comment: There is a "certain sameness" because the core purpose of the World Dog Alliance is to spearhead legislation worldwide to ban dog and cat meat from being eaten. Each of the articles mentions this because it is core to the World Dog Alliance's charter and activities. The articles diverge. The South China Morning Post articles focus on Dog Lovers' Day. The first HK01 article discusses the alliance's founder and how its gallery is used showcase his paintings related to their advocacy against the consumption of dog meat. The second HK01 article discusses how the group started a petition to ban dog and cat meat that received 120,000 signatures. The article provides detailed background about the alliance by discussing its "Dog Lovers' Day" and its documentary "Eating Happiness". The Ta Kung Pao article discusses the alliance's Dog Lovers' Day and its success in pushing for American legislation related to dog and cat meat. The Los Angeles Times article is listed as "less significant coverage" because it is about the alliance's documentary rather than the alliance itself.
