Wang Cheng (pseudonym)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

"Wang Cheng" isn't even his real name: [1]: "Xin'an Evening News reported on Wednesday that an Anqing official in East China's Anhui province, identified by a pseudonym Wang Cheng, has... The sensational news report, disclosing neither Wang's real name nor his exact department, soon drew...". This guy obviously doesn't meet WP:NPOLITICIAN: he was just a mid-level commercial department official in a mid-sized city (by Chinese standards). As is often with sex scandals there was some coverage, but only in 2010, so WP:BLP1E also applies. He deserves at most a 1-sentence mention somewhere on Corruption in China.

Timmyshin. There were a couple of problems with this. The title you moved it to was a BLP problem and not really neutral. Also you created the before you moved the article making the AfD link to the wrong article. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 02:55, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Delete to Corruption in China - Might be best to just merge the scandal part to mentioned page and delete the rest - fails WP:NBIO. Also, consider following procedure with problems with BLP. Kirbanzo (talk) 03:05, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am not quite OK with desparaging a 5 million plus person city as anything but large, but Cheng (or whatever his name was actually) was not a major figure in the city, just a mid-level functionary.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:33, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Anqing has only 780,514 people, which is small for China (Shanghai has 20 million urban residents). The 5 million number includes people from the adjacent rural areas, which have a completely different way of life. Timmyshin (talk) 05:07, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - tabloid material, fails WP:GNG. Not even his real name is known. Nothing to merge. -Zanhe (talk) 19:52, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no RS, not notable, and as said Zahne, not even his real name is known. L293D (☎ • ✎) 14:41, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
