This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to China. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|China|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions ( prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to China. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{ transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{ prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

  Precisely. It does meet that guideline imv: sources on the page or existing online can confirm "production itself" has attracted attention. Added some to the page; there are more. See for yourself. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 00:04, 15 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Strong Keep: The film is set to be theatrically released on 3 August 2024. It makes no sense to delete the article now only to recreate it two weeks later. I have also added 15 sources from Deadline Hollywood, The Beijing News, Shanghai Daily, Yangtse Evening Post, Yangcheng Evening News, Modern Express Post, Beijing Youth Daily, Hong Kong Economic Times, Oriental Daily News, and China News Service, covering production details, character descriptions, premiere and awards, and the scheduled release. (See Special:Diff/1234570644) It demonstrates that the production of this film is significant enough to meet GNG, and principal photography has wrapped back in January 2024, satisfying WP:NFF as well. Furthermore, it has already won 4 Weibo Awards and features a notable cast ( John Cusack, Daniel Wu, Liu Haoran, and Chen Daoming) and crew ( Chen Sicheng and Cao Yu), fulfilling the additional criteria of WP:NFO. I see no reasonable basis for deleting this article, on the contrary, there is a wealth of evidence supporting for a Keep. — Prince of Erebor（ The Book of Mazarbul） 01:57, 15 July 2024 (UTC) reply

2024 visits by Viktor Orbán to Russia and China (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I believe the article needs to go for two reasons:

(1) The article's subject (i.e., three four two foreign trips), is not independently notable. Foreign trips are an absolutely routine matter for ministers, prime ministers, presidents and other heads of state. Since Orbán undertook those trips as the prime minister of Hungary, they can of course be mentioned in Fifth Orbán Government or similar.

(2) The article's topic is overly vague. Article was created four days ago under the undoubtedly POV title, "2024 peace missions by Viktor Orbán", focusing on Orbán's three foreign trips: to Ukraine, Russia, and China. Then yesterday, his fourth trip, to the US, was added. [1]. After the article, and in particular its title, was challenged via PROD, [2] the US and Ukraine trips were removed and article renamed to its current title. This even further reduced not just notability but even WP:SIGNIFICANCE of these WP:RECENT events.

Overall, I see no reason for Wikipedia to have a separate article on Orban's two foreigns trips, which will be all barely remembered in a year from now.

So, it'll be either a hard delete or a merge and redirect to an existing article about Orbán's government. — kashmīrī  ^TALK 21:13, 12 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Keep: It's at least 20 sources, with an extensive analysis for each point made, I'm not sure what else you could want at this point. It meets GNG. Oaktree b ( talk) 23:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  My reasoning was clear: it's not notable for a standalone article. See, for every news event, you'll have dozens of sources. For every speech of a US president, you'll have possibly hundreds of rolling news reports. But this doesn't mean that each speech should receive a standalone Wikipedia article. Same concern here: Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS. — kashmīrī  ^TALK 00:21, 13 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Merge and redirect to a broader article covering the Fifth Orbán Government or Viktor Orbán's diplomacy. The article covers the trips in some detail. Yet, they do not appear to meet the threshold for standalone notability due to their routine nature as part of a head of state's duties. Adding this info to a broader context will keep the relevant historical record. Yet, it will avoid giving too much weight to events that may not last. This approach will also streamline related content. It will strengthen the details of Viktor Orbán's political movements. It will also make the new article more complete.-- AstridMitch ( talk) 00:28, 13 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Keep, an international diplomatic conflict that has already generated so many sources and comments is always notable. -- Norden1990 ( talk) 11:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  Just a polite observation that this is not an article about a diplomatic conflict, whatever that may mean. — kashmīrī  ^TALK 23:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Please save this cynical comment for others. It's just a polite note. -- Norden1990 ( talk) 18:53, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Merge Many of the sources in the article do treat the three visits as one cohesive topic, but for now, we have no knowledge of what lasting significance these visits may have. I cannot find any real effects that have come of these meetings except reactions from various countries, but that does not constitute stand alone notability in my mind. Instead, this can adaquetely be covered in an article like the Fifth Orbán Government. Gödel2200 ( talk) 12:23, 13 July 2024 (UTC) reply
• Merge There's not a general subarticle for his prime ministership, but shouldn't his actions during this term be at Fifth Orbán Government? Reywas92 ^Talk 14:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC) reply
• Merge Fails WP:NEVENT. It's hard to think how a single state visit by a political leader could be notable given that anything of significance in a visit would be an event (or events) *during* the visit, not the visit per se. For the visit to be notable it would need to rise to the level of something like the 1972 visit by Richard Nixon to China. Regards, -- Goldsztajn ( talk) 06:00, 16 July 2024 (UTC) reply
• Keep: Indeed, these two visits were subjected to an almost unprecedented spotlight, especially his visit to Moscow, and recently even the European Parliament condemned it! It can be kept now and wait. EpicAdventurer ( talk) 14:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  What sources indicate the visits received "almost unprecedented" coverage? There needs to be sourcing that indicates why the trips in and of themselves are notable separate from the long-standing policies reaffirmed by Orbán on the trips.

Non-notable skater; medal placement at the junior level or bronze/silver medals at the national championships do not meet the requirements of WP:NSKATE.
