Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Talk:Qian Zhijun

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellany page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was speedy delete per CSD G8, with no prejudice against recreation. The "new information" is nothing more than rumors at this point; once a reliable source begins covering the potential movie deal, then this page may be recreated.

Talk:Qian Zhijun[edit]

Given the fact that any movie deal is an unsubstantiated rumor at this point, Wikipedia should continue avoiding having anything at this title, including a talk page per WP:BLP, until better sources are found. Please note that despite being listed at Wikipedia:Protected_titles/May_2007, Xiao Pang and Little Fatty have been recreated as well and probably should be deleted. Various previous deletion discussions linked from here as well as an RFC and an Arbcom case. Despite this, an admin declined to speedy this, so I came to MFD. I also note someone has added a speedy keep even before I finish typing out the deletion rationale. That amuses me. -N 21:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The information that this individual is being considered for a prominent film role is sourced by two publications, one in the United States and one in the PRC (People's Republic of China). The proposal to delete even the discussion of this is highly disruptive and the editor is kindly asked to withdraw the proposal to blank this discussion. Badagnani 21:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Those are rumors and are not confirmed. Quoting a rumor in a reliable source is still not proper sourcing. -N 21:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong, speedy keep. This discussion about this notable individual is in progress and deleting it serves no purpose other than as a slap in the face to the editors who are discussing this issue there. This delete proposal is disruptive and the proposing editor should be admonished in the strongest terms for wasting Wikipedians' time with such a proposal. Badagnani 21:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Try to avoid voting on deletions before the nominator even finishes typing out his deletion rationale, would you? -N 21:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- All of those sources are quoting the original rumor in the Chongqing Evening News and the Yahoo article is merely a repeat of the filmstew article. Please learn how to evaluate sources before using them to write the encyclopedia. -N 21:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
