relatively unknown politician. not worthy of having an article. Does not meet notability guidelines. Helmulton (talk) 04:46, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - The mayor of a major metro with 10,000,000 residents is almost never 'relatively unknown'. The key in dealing with articles from developing nations is to run a search in the native language, which would be something like "万庆良" "广州" in this case. As many times as I've seen nominations like this recently, I'm seriously thinking about starting an essay on the topic. — C M B J 07:10, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep: This article passes WP:GNG, with sources including Reuters India, The Standard, Fox News, newsgd, and CCTV. Wan also passes WP:POLITICIANS as the vice governor of a major province, and the mayor of the third largest city in china. This is not a problematic article by any means. He meets notability guidelines, and is not "unknown". NLinpublic (talk) 14:11, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
