[edit] Immigration to Hong Kong

Immigration to Hong Kong (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Wikipedia is not a how-to; also, there are some serious copyright concerns with regards to this article. humblefool® 07:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete for sure it is still copyrightvio. Delete delete delete........ I support Humblefool. Eradicate all inferior Chinamen topics.70.52.74.207 00:56, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Inferior yellow men from Hong Kong has no right to write down anything about superior race of British matter. I support you Humblefool. (Taiwanese)70.52.74.207 19:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • And I don't think racism has anything to do with this article. --humblefool® 19:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and clean up. Precedent for these kinds of articles exists with Immigration to the United States, Immigration to Germany, et cetera. The current article doesn't appear to be a how-to; it provides factual information and some history of immigration policy in Hong Kong. Also, I didn't search very hard but couldn't find the copyvio problem. Do you have a URL for the page from where it was ripped? Simões (^talk/_contribs) 07:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • [1] is taken to form the Immigration Control on British Citizens in HK section (though the user disputes that this is actual infringement; I think that the license is a "wholly intact" type that clashes with the GFDL, but IANA copyright lawyer) --humblefool® 08:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: If it can be cleaned up, expanded and de-copyvioed then there is plenty of precedent for this on Wikipedia. Ben W Bell talk 10:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Neutral Similar edition can be found on the topic of HKSAR passport that is also mainly taken from the web site you wrote down above. Why didn't you add AfD for this article? your explanation is not good enough, Humblefool. This art. is freely copied and under certain circumstances one may need to ask for permission from HKIMMD, e.g. commercial usage if you pay attention to the the copyright note on that site; it is clearly stated. For our editors online, our motivation on wikipedia are basically voluntary edition without charge and not for selling so that this is not for commercial usage. However, if wiki wanted to use this content for commercial usage, then it is the discretion of wikipedia (i.e. wiki can choose this topic whether for such commercial purpose or not).

  • Anything used on Wikipedia has to be available for commercial use. As the IMMD forbids this, the article contents are a clear copyvio. Simões (^talk/_contribs) 16:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - obviously. If there are problems, fix the problems, but as such the article is consistent with what there is for other topics. -- Fuzheado | Talk 00:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Simões. Similar existing articles justifies the existence of this article, and especially since immigration of mainland Chinese to HK is a hot topic in HK. But the article needs to be cleaned up. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 03:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge useful information to Politics of Hong Kong or otherwise delete. Zarbat 05:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
