[edit] Xiong Wei

non-notable political prisoner. seems like a plea for help for the Falun Gong, obviously non neutral POV, the only sources on this dissident all stem from websites promoting the Falun Gong ie. www.clearwisdom.net. it seems like to me that this is propaganda in order to solicit support for the Falun Gong and Wikipedia is not the proper forum for doing this. 129.2.237.44

Abstain: Is it possible that both the article and its calls for deletion and revision might be motivated by biased viewpoints? This is, after all, a politically charged subject in China. A Google search did turn up a dissident with the name of Xiong Wei, but the Web sites on which the name appeared were all China-related advocacy sites. Hard to say if this person is particularly notable, but I suspect not. — Cory Maylett 17:58, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• Speaking as someone with no preconcieved (or indeed any) ideas about the subject, delete. Tonywalton  | Talk 22:28, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

• delete non notable subject Abstrakt 21:12, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Assume ill faith since creator has proven record of pro-Falungong POV pushing on de, fr, it and en wikipedia. Banned for such activities on de, fr and (I think,) it. Besides, with the thousands of political prisoners and dissidents in China, this woman is not notable. Also, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gong Shengliang. --Miborovsky 20:00, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, it's verifiable and wiki isn't paper. It doesn't come under any point at What Wikipedia is not. ··gracefool |☺ 18:01, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It is quite superficial to claim I am pushing Falun Gong.

• Comment to Sarcelles: Actually in the past you have been got "red handed" for using Wikipedia as a means to promote Falun Gong or have you forgotten the 100+ poorly editted stubs you made on Chinese cities as means to promote Falun Gong? I mean we were able to google your information and get an exact match on pro Falun Gong websites such as www.clearwisdom.net, you were caught copying and pasting sentences from those sites, or have you forgotten about that? Have you forgotten how you were warned on pushing your pro Falun Gong POV? Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chinese_cities#our_good_friend_sarcelles, this is a record of what Sarcelles has done this past summer. Abstrakt 17:58, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I agree with Abstrakt and Miborovsky. -- ran (talk) 03:24, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
