[edit] Notability and sources
This man has seen press coverage in the English language, as well as a great deal in Chinese. English: China Digital Times, china.org.cn, San Diego Union Tribune, China Daily. Google turns up around 200 unique hits [1], but his name in Chinese characters has thousands [2]. This covers the need for sources, and confirms his notability. Thank you, Fang Aili talk 12:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I'm still concerned that as yet we have no reliable sources, in a reasonably verifiable form, for any aspect of this man's existence, nor yet any reason to believe the article to be encyclopedia. Are there any article about him, for instance, in any mainstream Chinese, American, Singaporean, Australian, New Zealand, or European daily newspaper, in a European language? If not I don't see how we could say this passes the Verifiability policy. --Tony Sidaway 13:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

- Based on the Google search alone, it is obvious that this man is well-known in the Chinese-speaking world. Let's not succumb to systematic bias just because we cannot read Chinese. Also, the link to the San Diego newspaper is a Reuters article; if that's not a dependable source, I'm not sure what is. It specifically says, "Cui's plight sparked a nationwide outpouring of sympathy and a heated debate on the need to protect the basic rights of disadvantaged groups." Even the China Daily (the Communist party-controlled state newspaper) notes that professors were saying that Cui should not get a death sentence [3]. Cui's case is obviously being discussed widely. These points, as well as my links above, confirm his existence and notability. --Fang Aili talk 13:50, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, on further review I agree with you. --Tony Sidaway 00:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
