How exactly did Ma end up getting classified as a politician? Is there any RS that can back this up? There seems to be a sockpuppeteer who repeatedly adds this occupation in the lede and infobox. Slightlymad ( talk ⋅ contribs) 05:00, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
We did not label Andrew Lloyd Webber, a former House of Lords member who is known primarily for his musical work, despite RS noting his absence from an Oct 2015 vote on fiscal legislation, thus indicating a controversy. Ma should not be any different. Indeed RS referring to him as a politician are lacking, as is for Webber. When only excluding Wikipedia from the search results for Ma, the pages that refer to him as a politican are effectively WP:MIRRORs, which is unacceptable.

Because he is the most prominent example (formerly) in that body I can think of who is not a career politician? CaradhrasAiguo ( leave language) 20:22, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
I'm not immediately finding any WP:RS characterizing Jack Ma as a legislator. Rolf H Nelson ( talk) 01:35, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
"In 2011, it was announced that one of his companies had gained control of Alipay, formerly a subsidiary of Alibaba Group, so as to "comply with Chinese law governing payment companies in order to secure a license to continue operating Alipay.[56] Numerous analysts reported that Ma sold Alipay to himself below market value without notifying the board of Alibaba Group or the other major owners Yahoo and Softbank, while Ma stated that Alibaba Group's board of directors were aware of the transaction. The ownership dispute was resolved by Alibaba Group, Yahoo! and Softbank in July 2011.[57]"

"Jack" Ma Yun. This wording seems to be used by some English-lang news sources [3] [4], but not sure how much Wikipedia has influenced this. 104.232.119.107 ( talk) 14:02, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
His face appears somewhat distorted in the infobox photo. Is there a better alternative? ERBuermann ( talk) 14:31, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

I think he may have returned to China after the conclusion of his time in Japan, and founded a new startup. I'm a bit lazy to dig into it and can't read a Japan Times article behind a paywall, but if someone can add the info that'd be appreciated. 104.232.119.107 ( talk) 13:57, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
