Talk:Nanjing No.1 High School

Verifiability and notability
Just a note to User:IceUnshattered and User:Nneonneo, who seem to be translating this article: if you can't find the information elsewhere (google search, chinese google search), it's basically useless and should be discarded. (WP:V). Just to lighten the translation work a little :) Another thing: I'm really not so sure about the notability of this school in the English sense --> there's a Chinese Wikipedia, if it's notable in China, put it there. Unless it meets WP:N in English terms (ie mentioned in 3rd party English press), it fails the notability guideline and therefore should be deleted. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 05:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's basically why I stopped working on it for a while. Maybe it could be merged into another article? I'm not familiar with the area at all, so it might be better to first understand the article, and then make a shorter version to be merged into a larger article. Or maybe it should just be deleted. Anyways, I'm putting my work here on hiatus. IceUnshattered (talk) 16:05, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure I agree. Certainly, we need evidence of verifiability, but I see nothing in WP:V or WP:N] that suggests that foreign language sources cannot be used, and in fact [[WP:VUE would seem to push in the other direction. Unless there is a specific policy statement of which I'm not aware, notability may indeed be shown exclusively by foreign language sources (although of course we'd need to know what they say). So if you're so inclined, translate away. Xymmax  So let it be written   So let it be done  19:21, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I found it odd that this article has more Chinese content (albeit unverified) than the interwikied Chinese article. I think the original contributor was trying to write a Chinese article but couldn't post because the Chinese wikipedia is blocked in China, while English is accessible. Just my speculation. --Voidvector (talk) 07:17, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That might be true. So what do you suppose should be done (if anything)? IceUnshattered (talk) 16:23, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

why should people additionaly click on [show] to see the reading (so called "transliteration") -- because their index fingers are made of iron and the more clicks they make the fresher they feel? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.233.129.146 (talk) 08:45, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
