[edit] China History Forum

I understand that this page was put on and survived a previous AfD, however the previous vote was inconclusive with 1/1/1, with myself neutral. After reviewing various guidelines I have concluded that this article meets none of the criteria for inclusion in wikipedia. In particular, this article is

  1. non-notable. Alexa ranking 1,034,594. I've seen 300,000 ones get speedied. Google test comes up with 13,400 hits, but bear in mind that this is an EXTREMELY generic name, just like "Rover" is anyone's dog.
  2. original research. Written by the forum owner himself.
  3. vanity. As above, written by forum owner himself.
  4. advertising. Blatantly promotes this forum. Tone and diction like one giant advertisement campaign.

I hope this AfD can stay open until a sufficient number of inputs can be gathered.
