KEEP Zhang is the founder and CEO of UNPay at 30 years old. This company has international presence in payment system/ digital transaction industry. He is listed 40 Under 40 in Fortune. He has many other executive/ management roles in work experience.

REDIRECT to UnPAY, a horrible spammy article by the same page creator. Who I imagine is being paid.TheLongTone (talk) 16:04, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please decide about this article ASAP. TheLongTone Please talk about this article because Zhang is one of the young entrepreneurs of China and we don't have any page about him. I try to remove advertising element of UnPAY. MrInfo2012 Talk 05:09, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let's have a look at the sources:

Source	Independent?	Reliable?	Significant coverage?	Count source toward GNG?
Source assessment table:
https://www.businessinsider.sg/UnPAY-in-talks-with-dubai-government-to-build-cashless-city/			About his product, not him.	✘ No
https://www.prunderground.com/UnPAY-supports-haier-laundrys-overseas-ventures-with-holistic-payment-solutions-2/00134728/			About his product, not him, quotes him once.	✘ No
https://t.sina.com.hk/news/article/20181107/0/2/40/UnPAY-and-President-of-Lithuania-In-Talks-on-Possible-Fintech-Cooperation-9400725.html	It's a press release.	Maybe yes for verifying stats but not notability.	All press releases will cover their topic in depth.	✘ No

http://fortune.com/2018/11/28/alipay-baidu-wallet-finance-UnPAY-digital-payments/			? It covers him a lot, but it's all in the context of his product.	? Unknown
http://tech.qq.com/a/20180912/104402.htm		It's listcruft opinion piece on a site which, as far as I can see, has no editorial oversight.	He's a small subsection of the list.	✘ No
http://iof.hexun.com/2015-01-17/172484209.html		? Unfamiliar with publication.	Mentions him once, about winning an award which doesn't appear to be notable per GNG.	✘ No

http://sg.unpay.com/news/unpays-founder-zhang-zhenghua-named-in-fortune-chinas-2018-40-under-40-list/		Maybe for stats but not for assertions of notability.	Of course it is.	✘ No
https://www.fortuneconferences.com/fortune-global-tech-2018/2018-agenda/			Mentions him once and just asserts he spoke at a conference.	✘ No

Overall, I'd say this, along with the lack of further sources turned up by my own searches, suggests failure of ANYBIO, furthermore I agree with TheLongTone that this stinks of undisclosed paid editing, particularly as an article for UnPay was submitted pretty soon after this AFD was started. All in all, it's a delete from me. SITH (talk) 21:31, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@StraussInTheHouse: After I saw that DGG said It isn't obvious that Zhenghua doesn't offer financial services, I created UnPAY to prove that he is working on this area and participated in China financial services. It's because I create that article immediately after Zhenghua. I think Zhenghua has enough credibility such as any Chinese entrepreneurs to have a Wikipedia page. MrInfo2012 Talk 12:36, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I shall look at that article separately. I point out that the question isn't credibility, but whether the sources are sufficient to meet our standards. DGG ( talk ) 01:33, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Subject has coverage in foreign media; just happens to mostly be in Chinese. https://www.baidu.com/s?wd="章政华" -- dsprc ^[talk] 22:41, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Head of the company has enough notability, also the company has significant coverage in reliable sources. Benyamin-ln (talk) 21:03, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The question is solely of whether this meets our criteria for inclusion, and it does not. Sources are not sufficient in quality and the coverage is not significant enough in those sources that pass muster. As DGG rightly points out, it isn't an issue of credibility (or truth/accuracy/etc), it is a matter of passing the bar of WP:GNG, which this fails to do.
