Zhang Lijun (business person)

Self-promotion. A previous version was speedied at Zhanglijun. The first sentence says he's the concurrent chairman of 5-7 organizations, ranging from a video game company to TV station to a bank, is this really believable? So I googled "Bank of Asia", nothing comes up. Googled "Dubai China and Asia TV", nothing comes up. "Capital Internet Association", nothing. "China Travel Entertainment Group", ditto. The third paragraph claims "Zhang Lijun was also well known as the first person of “introducing to be listed” of China.", what does that mean? The fourth paragraph then talks about the achievement of his company. In any case, the article is badly written and requires WP:TNT even if the person is found notable. The hatnote says one should consult the zh.wiki article, but that article has already been deleted for copyright infringement. Finally, notice how the creator of the article uploaded this studio portrait photo (and many more on Wikicommons) claiming own work, suggesting WP:COI.

The article has been well amended with additional reference from Bloomberg、Yahoo Finance and Stockhouse，and internal links. So far the content mostly can be trusted as real content. Based information on another Search Engine（Baidu），Zhang Lijun was also known as the Chairman of V1 Group Limited with those titles and made his company listed in Hong Kong in 2006.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ren Yifan (talk • contribs)

Delete The sources for the information are a mixture of routine corporate filings, press releases, and a site that started as an illegal (non-GFDL) fork of Chinese Wikipedia. No RSs at all. A couple of specific indicators of WP:PROMO:

The original claim that he's chair of Bank of Asia (which is not actually a bank according to the source) has somehow become chair of Bank of China (by some measures the largest bank in the world).
Mr Zhang is said to have been 'general manager' of several Chinese firms. This is translating a term used for middle managers. To compare an equivalently trumped-up term in English, 'sales executives' are not notable corporate leaders. Matt's talk 08:22, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Promotion article. Lack of reliable sources and notiability. Many of those "secondary source" references are news releases which seems like sponsered by the firm. Some others has nothing to do with the person himself (like footnote 1) or not reliable sources (footnote 8). --Techyan（Talk） 14:06, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sources are weak and mostly press releases. Lack of editorial to establish notability _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 16:47, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
