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:
- 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. Fails GNG and NACTOR. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 05:54, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

The article notes: ""I like the fact that most of the roles I've been playing recently are the good-guy roles, not the stereotypical 'bad foreigner' that seems to be all too prevalent in Chinese productions," says Karl Dominik, who owns Constellation talent agency in Shanghai. "I am daunted by the amount of Chinese I have to learn, but I love a challenge." Another of Shanghai's top foreign acting talents, Englishman Charles Mayer, had a high-profile supporting role in Yip Man 2 (2010) as a corrupt police sergeant in wartime Hong Kong. It was exactly the kind of racially charged role people like Dominik are eager to avoid."

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). GoldMiner24 Talk 04:52, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians, Women, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Massachusetts, and New York. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:21, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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: "原來,馬以南一九六二年考上台大外文系之後曾轉到植病學系,因此延畢一年;原來,馬以南在一九六六年曾替一考生代考大學聯考擔任「槍手」;原來,「槍手案」爆發後,檢方以陳姓考生未考取大學為由,未起訴馬以南,連罪證確鑿的偽造文書罪都沒有,也沒有被台大退學;原來,馬以南在案子起訴前已早一步前往美國求學、申請綠卡、當美國公民;原來,中央日報刊登所有涉案人詳細資料時,可以獨漏馬以南的犯罪事實、代價金額與知情家長姓名等資料;原來,馬英九一家享盡特權,媒體、司法遇到他們都沒轍;原來,所謂家教甚嚴的家庭,竟是教出說謊、詐欺、涉嫌貪污的子女。"
From Google Translate: "It turns out that Ma Yin-nan, after being admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages at National Taiwan University in 1962, later transferred to the Department of Plant Pathology, which caused him to delay his graduation by one year. It turns out that in 1966, Ma Yin-nan acted as a "gunman" (substitute test-taker) for a student during the university entrance exams. It turns out that after the "gunman case" broke, the prosecutor did not indict Ma Yin-nan, citing that the student (Chen) did not get into a university, and even though there was solid evidence of forgery, he was not charged with falsifying documents, nor was he expelled from National Taiwan University. It turns out that before the case was prosecuted, Ma Yin-nan had already gone to the United States to study, applied for a green card, and became a U.S. citizen. It turns out that when the Central Daily News published detailed information about all those involved in the case, they conveniently omitted Ma Yin-nan's criminal facts, the amount of money involved, and the names of the parents who were aware of the situation. It turns out that the Ma Ying-jeou family enjoyed special privileges, with the media and the judiciary unable to do anything in the face of their influence. It turns out that the so-called "strict family upbringing" actually produced children who lied, committed fraud, and were suspected of corruption."

The article notes: "馬以南之所以又冒出來,因為她這個門神,事業做得還真大,除了增進身體健康的一堆藥廠請她守門,戕害身體健康的假油業者也找上她,可見外戚在今日台灣是同時受到健康跟不健康企業的愛戴。"
From Google Translate: "The reason why Ma Yinan appears again is because she is a doorkeeper and has a really big career. In addition to a lot of pharmaceutical companies that improve health, she is hired to guard the door. She is also approached by fake oil companies that harm health. It can be seen that her relatives are in Today, Taiwan is loved by both healthy and unhealthy companies."

The article notes: "事實上,自從馬英九於二○○八年當選總統以後,過去在助選場合、黨務、生技製藥界相當活躍的馬以南,幾乎是被迫自縛雙手、低調過日子。不但辭去民間公司職務,曾高票當選國民黨中央委員的她,在國民黨擬定○九年中央委員候選名單時,因馬英九特別請黨主席吳伯雄「不要把我大姊放進去」,宣告正式退出黨務。"
From Google Translate: "In fact, since Ma Ying-jeou was elected president in 2008, Ma Yinan, who used to be very active in campaign events, party affairs, and the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has been almost forced to tie his hands and live a low-key life. Not only did she resign from a private company, but she was once elected as a member of the KMT Central Committee with a high vote. When the KMT was drawing up the candidate list for the 2009 Central Committee, Ma Ying-jeou specifically asked party chairman Wu Boxiong to "don't include my eldest sister in the list." She announced her official withdrawal from the party."
- In my searches for sources, the coverage in reliable sources largely was negative about the various controversies she has been involved in. The Wikipedia article reflects that coverage. Issues with tone and undue weight can be addressed through editing. The policies say that articles containing flaws should not be deleted if they can be improved. Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion says,
If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page.
Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required says,Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome.

An article on a crypto-exchange company, created in March after a previous instance was deleted by AfD in February. Although this instance is not a WP:G4 repost, the text covers much the same ground and most of the references were available for consideration in the Jan 24 AfD. Since then there is a pros-and-cons Business Insider product review, though it is marked Paid non-client promotion. I am unconvinced that the available coverage meets WP:CORPDEPTH - and the special considerations for Crypto - so it seems appropriate to open a discussion on whether or not to overturn the Feb 24 AfD decision as to attained notability.

- That is the only non primary source in the article, so even were we to accept it, we are not at a keep yet. But it is interesting because it does cover the school but it spends more time on the church, and it treats the church and school as a complex. Although I am not seeing notability for the school as a school, that would be an excellent source under NGEO for the complex of church plus school, and an article that focuses on the architecture. Similarly it is also treated in Building Catholic Churches in Hong Kong. I cannot find an article on the church and school, but that would appear to be the encyclopaedic subject here. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- Besides from this, I have mentioned previously that this is a local English-teaching primary school, that also teaches French and Japanese on the side. This is likely to be the only primary school that operate in this mode in Hong Kong and somehow in my opinion gives the school notability. Ilovefood123123 (talk) 14:42, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- That's all well and good, but what does that have to do with whether or not this school meets notability standards? Notability =/= importance. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 16:13, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- Doesn't Wikipedia exists to share notable info, not only about the latest Pokemon movie or the shoe size of the hottest actress of the year but also the information about small places that otherwise people would never know about? If is like other similar old schools I've encountered then they might participate in many local, regional and national activities but without doing much promotion about it, just teaching individuals who later become notable. Yeah, this is all speculation but wanted to invite you, to think about how sometimes is much more worthwhile to share info about something, or someone, that doesn't care to be known and rather is dedicated to their own craft. Bit-Pasta (talk) 16:44, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- The words in blue are links. Writing an encyclopedia article isn't like writing an essay. When one writes an encyclopedia article, all they are doing is reporting on what others have written in reliable sources independent of the subject. The standards for notability are based on the availability of such sources, a somewhat objective standard; rather than the subjective standard of what people think is important. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 22:08, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

SourcesAll universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria. (See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES)

From Google Translate: "St. Francis of Assisi English Primary School, a private primary school in Sham Shui Po district, has been ideal in allocating places to secondary schools over the years. Most students have been allocated to English-medium secondary schools, and more than half of them have been admitted to Band 1 secondary schools, including Kowloon Wah Yan College and Cheung Sha Wan Catholic English School. Middle schools and other prestigious schools. The school has always focused on students' Chinese and English proficiency.

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[4] and ETtoday[5].

It turns out that before the case was prosecuted, Ma Yin-nan had already gone to the United States to study, applied for a green card, and became a U.S. citizen. It turns out that when the Central Daily News published detailed information about all those involved in the case, they conveniently omitted Ma Yin-nan's criminal facts, the amount of money involved, and the names of the parents who were aware of the situation. It turns out that the Ma Ying-jeou family enjoyed special privileges, with the media and the judiciary unable to do anything in the face of their influence.

- 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)

- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.Wikipedia:Notability#Whether to create standalone pagesWikipedia: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.

Temmie is not regarded as a co-creator of Undertale, and she is only discussed as the artist for that game on the Undertale article (where she is covered in one sentence of the articles body). I also don't think NCREATIVE is valid here because of WP:INHERITED, due to the aforementioned lack of commentary about Temmie Chang's role in the game. There are practically zero reliable sources that discuss her as a person. λ NegativeMP1 02:19, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

The book discusses her on 3.25 pages. The book notes: "TEMMIE CHANG Certes, Undertale représente surtout le fruit de l'imagination de Toby Fox. Mais dire qu'il est le seul artisan du titre est exagéré. Parlons de Temmie Chang, ou Tuyoki, comme elle se fait souvent appeler en ligne. Née en 1993, elle a deux ans de moins que Fox et récolte une part importante des lauriers matérialisés par le jeu. Temmie Chang se découvre une passion pour les univers vidéo-ludiques très tôt, à l'époque où elle regardait son cousin jouer à Breath of Fire, un classique du J-RPG sur Super NES. L'ambiance lui tape dans l'œil, et plus encore le pixel art, tant ce style graphique se révèle capable de convoyer beaucoup d'émotions en montrant très peu. Autour de 2006, elle commence à comprendre qu'il est possible de produire de l'art numérique et de le partager sur Internet, notamment sur un site qui prend de plus en plus d'ampleur, DeviantArt. Sa famille l'encourage à poursuivre dans cette voie, ce qui la pousse à travailler son coup de stylet. En parallèle, d'autres créations pixelisées débarquent en ligne, par exemple les titres de 2004 Yume Nikki et Cave Story - ne vous en faites pas, on va très bientôt recroiser le chemin de ces deux-là dans ce livre – et avec eux de véritables fandoms12 dont les membres fournissent de magnifiques illustrations et de formidables petits métrages d'animation. ... Le refus de cette vision étriquée, mais répandue, de l'art la fait hésiter à se professionnaliser, mais elle opte finalement pour une formation en animation 2D qu'elle suit au Pratt Institute, un établissement à New York."
From Google Translate: "TEMMIE CHANG Of course, Undertale is mostly the fruit of Toby Fox's imagination. But to say that he is the sole creator of the title would be an exaggeration. Let's talk about Temmie Chang, or Tuyoki, as she often goes by online. Born in 1993, she is two years younger than Fox and reaps a significant share of the game's laurels. Temmie Chang discovered her passion for video game universes very early on, when she watched her cousin play Breath of Fire, a classic J-RPG on Super NES. The atmosphere caught her eye, and even more so pixel art, as this graphic style is capable of conveying a lot of emotion by showing very little. Around 2006, she began to understand that it was possible to produce digital art and share it on the Internet, particularly on a site that was gaining momentum, DeviantArt. Her family encouraged her to continue in this direction, which pushed her to work on her pen stroke. At the same time, other pixelated creations arrived online, for example the 2004 titles Yume Nikki and Cave Story - don't worry, we'll soon cross paths with these two in this book - and with them real fandoms12 whose members provided magnificent illustrations and great short animated films. ... The rejection of this narrow but widespread vision of art made her hesitate to become a professional, but she finally opted for training in 2D animation that she followed at the Pratt Institute, an establishment in New York."

The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism said, "In the online space, the digital native Tuko's mix of celebrity, entertainment, and political news with a light touch has proved successful." The article's tone is very positive about Temmie Chang. The article notes: "Temmie Chang was born on April 2, 1993, in Brooklyn, New York. This means that the talented animator is 27 years old as of 2020. The name Temmie was her grandmother's nickname. There is not much information about Temmie Chang’s parents and childhood. However, it is known that she graduated from the Pratt Institute in New York, which is a senior, private non-profit learning centre. Temmie graduated from the institution with a degree in 2D animation. This must have been the stepping stone to her remarkable career achievements in graphic designing and animation."

- The other sources I found were passing mentions. Tuko.co.ke has not been discussed at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard so it is unclear whether it is reliable. In my research, the website shows signs of reliability based on Wikipedia:Reliable sources#News organizations. The website has editorial oversight and editorial standards.

Tuko.co.ke has been cited in numerous books such as The Oxford Handbook of Kenyan Politics (Oxford University Press), Kenyan, Christian, Queer: Religion, LGBT Activism, and Arts of Resistance in Africa (Penn State University Press), Understanding the Higher Education Market in Africa (Taylor & Francis), To be Or Not to be: Sudan at Crossroads: a Pan-African Perspective: a Black African Nation Undone by the Ideology of Islamo-Arabism (Mkuki na Nyota), Doing Business in Kenya: Opportunities and Challenges (Taylor & Francis), and Digital Kenya: An Entrepreneurial Revolution in the Making (Palgrave Macmillan). Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism says on page 156, "Traditional media houses also face competition online from digital-born websites such as Tuku.co.ke, which reaches around 70% of our online sample each week.

Tuku.co.ke also has a reputation for breaking and frequently updated news, which many older outlets struggle to match." Cunard (talk) 12:01, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

- 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)

From Google Translate: "It turns out that Ma Yin-nan, after being admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages at National Taiwan University in 1962, later transferred to the Department of Plant Pathology, which caused him to delay his graduation by one year. It turns out that in 1966, Ma Yin-nan acted as a "gunman" (substitute test-taker) for a student during the university entrance exams. It turns out that after the "gunman case" broke, the prosecutor did not indict Ma Yin-nan, citing that the student (Chen) did not get into a university, and even though there was solid evidence of forgery, he was not charged with falsifying documents, nor was he expelled from National Taiwan University. It turns out that before the case was prosecuted, Ma Yin-nan had already gone to the United States to study, applied for a green card, and became a U.S. citizen. It turns out that when the Central Daily News published detailed information about all those involved in the case, they conveniently omitted Ma Yin-nan's criminal facts, the amount of money involved, and the names of the parents who were aware of the situation. It turns out that the Ma Ying-jeou family enjoyed special privileges, with the media and the judiciary unable to do anything in the face of their influence. It turns out that the so-called "strict family upbringing" actually produced children who lied, committed fraud, and were suspected of corruption."

In addition to more and more new developers and large companies investing in App development, as well as the increasing number of free App choices and intensifying competition, it is necessary to increase marketing investment if you want to attract users. Another fundamental problem is that users pay a one-time fee for services, but the company still has to continue to provide maintenance and operation.
