This copied from http://shesg.tripod.com/Selina.html --Paraphelion 17:27, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It is not a direct copy from there, instead it was taken verbatim from the S.H.E article. jni 12:42, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect?

A redirect will discourage users from expanding the article because the article will not exist. People have to see a stub to want to do any major work, and we cannot expect relatively new users to know how to override the redirect in order to write a new article. Information such as her birth, family, education, etc. that have no relevance in the SHE article will not be added as a result. --Jiang 04:17, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

In the 3 months since you turned this into an article, there have been no changes at all. Selina (at this stage in her career) is only important has being part of S.H.E. New users can put the other stuff in the S.H.E article initially and when it is appropriate, it can be moved into this article . novacatz 04:23, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Given the poor shape the other c-pop articles are in (compared to articles in Chinese history, etc.) I just think there's just a lack of interest. New users will be discouraged from adding substantial amounts of information and will withhold information on her birth, upbringing, family, education, etc. that have no relevance in the SHE article. It is against wikipedia community convention to redirect an article simply because it is too short. stubs are allowed to survive as long as they have the potential to be non-stubs (certainly the case here). if a redirect was made, consensus would easily be reached at wikipedia:redirects for deletion to nix the redirect, leaving us with a redlink. It won't end up accomplishing anything.--Jiang 05:00, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
