 * I see that you've added a reference. I'm afraid that YouTube does not count as a reliable reference for wikipedia - please see WP:RS. I've altered the deletion reasons as follows: Not reliably referenced. Nothing to support the claim that Hong Kong does not use the International Phonetic Alphabet - what's probably meant is the ICAO spelling alphabet, anyway.
