Except for Mao Zedong, no other celebrity has his early life clearly written in the main article and has to open a separate article Coddlebean (talk) 09:26, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment can you please clarify the deletion rationale? There are other articles that detail early lives of historical people. Like Stalin, Cleopatra, Samuel Johnson, and Joseph Smith Oblivy (talk) 10:43, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- No valid deletion criterion provided, which is no surprise as clearly none applies. Subject is clearly notable. Mao's stature would probably support separate articles for each year of his adult life. Central and Adams (talk) 11:43, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. No valid deletion rationale. Even just Category:Early lives by heads of government (of which the article under discussion is a member) holds 43 articles across all subcats; this one isn't special. Folly Mox (talk) 12:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. SK1, no intelligible deletion rationale. Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:39, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep: SK1, no valid rationale for deletion. Not only is this a valid page split, it also outright passes WP:GNG as Mao's early life is very well covered. Curbon7 (talk) 21:46, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep as no valid deletion rationale. I tried to give the nominator a chance to explain, and I'd reconsider my vote if that opportunity is taken up. Oblivy (talk) 02:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
