Edward Qiu[edit]

Article asserts importance, but cites no sources. Presumably, if this is a primarily Chinese author, his works would be known by his Chinese name, and quick searches using the name "Edward Qiu" yields no real links of significance. Unless verifiably notable, delete. --Nlu (talk) 03:09, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete can found no evidence that he exists. Without the Chinese name nor can we really know who this article is refering to. article doesn't give anything that's verifiable. Could just as well be a madlib-style test edit. see WP:V. no content changes (just style and formatting) since the first edit in 2007. If someone was going to add some kind of details to help us they've had plenty of time already. - Metal lunchbox ^(talk) 16:42, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete agree with nom and Metal lunchbox. No evidence person exists, strongly looks like a hoax. The silly title "Night of Ostrich Bells" doesn't exist outside Wikipedia. "Qui" translates as 邱 and "ostrich" translates as "鴕鳥" and Google (邱 "鴕鳥") comes up with nothing. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 04:22, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I searched Baidu.com using Chinese for his name, birth date, death date and ostrich. I can't find anything. Rincewind42 (talk) 15:24, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
