What'd be nice is a link to one of the Chinese media reports that actually alleges the place exists. Otherwise this might be a Western urban legend concerning a non-existant Chinese urban legend... Pseudomonas(talk) 10:50, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree. The two links we do have look as though they come from the same source - both have 25,000 residents, blonde sentries at the gate... If it's only, as you say, a Western urban legend about a non-existent Chinese urban legend, I don't think it's notable enough for an article. JohnCD (talk) 17:23, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I think there may well indeed be something in the notion that it's a Western urban legend about a supposed Chinese one (though we'll need sources that say so - watch Snopes over the next few days), but this in no way affects its notability. It's all over the media. ðarkun coll 17:36, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's notable either way, but important that we report it properly. As you say, the likes of Snopes is a good secondary source that'll relieve us of the need to do too much OR on the ontogeny of this phenomenon. Pseudomonas(talk) 17:51, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * We don't have to do WP:OR about the 'ontogeny of this phenomenon' nor are we, as we are using reliable printed sources and merely reporting what they say (that this is unlikely to be real.) Sticky Parkin 20:21, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree 100%; it's just an interesting question that I'd like to dig into, but I know that WP is not the place to do the digging :) Pseudomonas(talk) 18:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * There used to be a Chinese article on the subject here but it seems to have been removed. /FredrikT (talk) 22:01, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That is probably the original Xinhua story reproduced by the Shanghaiist blog. Unfortunately, the Wayback Machine doesn't have it up yet (says it may take 6 months). -kotra (talk) 18:42, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Notable?
I don't think so, just a flash in the pan silly season story. Just because it had some coverage doesn't make it notable. 92.25.89.184 (talk) 19:51, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Reason as above. Can someone please complete the deletion nomination? Thank you. 92.25.89.184 (talk) 15:28, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

I have referred to WP:N#TEMP & WP:SENSATION. 92.25.89.184 (talk) 20:35, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
