[edit] Wenyi Wang

Wenyi Wang (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Person charged for disorderly conduct and with no notable achievements since charges were dropped against her. Fails WP:BIO as having only had one coverage. Falun Gong journalist who acted in a premeditated fashion and in breach of journalist ethics, who was arrested for heckling the President of the People's Republic of China. Few will know/remember her name. Ohconfucius 10:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Your user page states that "I believe in freedom and democracy with a strong system of checks and balances to prevent governments from eroding civil liberties." Surely this is a crystal clear case of what you profess to believe? Journalistic ethics surely demand asking unelected dictators tough questions. If the problem is that few will know/remember her name then a Wikipedia article is a good place to remedy that situation. Although Wikipedia is of course usually blocked in China by the Chinese government. Funny that. There are THIRTEEN sources in this article, many of them on issues unrelated to the 'heckling' incident but regarding her opposition to 'organ harvesting'. There is no basis for deleting this article. Nick mallory 11:29, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep 13 references meeting WP:RS over more than a year period meets Cat 1 of WP:N . Has coverage for both the heckling incident and organ harvesting accusations. OP's disdain for article's subject appears to be primary reason for nomination. Horrorshowj 13:56, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Kindly refrain from casting aspertions on my motivations, It amounts to an ad hominem attack. FYI, I have been successfully cooperating with FG practitioners and others for the last month to improve a number of articles, and felt this would have met "normal" criteria for deleting. Thank you very much. Ohconfucius 03:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Actually the nominator is correct: WP:BLP1E. However it's a well researched article referring and citing to other notable things about her. 1redrun Talk 13:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep no reason to delete. WooyiTalk to me? 16:24, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep quite relevant, important historical fact that goes hand in hand with some other investigations, one of them being http://organharvestinvestigation.net/. It had a broad media coverage; it's an example of journalist showing courage; it's an example on how in the US free speech is still allowed; etc... --HappyInGeneral 15:25, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
