Cult of Xi Jinping

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparently a POV fork of the Xi Jinping article pushing a certain agenda. While Xi's leadership style has been discussed and some commentators have likened his style to an emperor (expecially in the wake of the published Xi Jinping Thought), a "Cult" does not receive wide coverage. Therefore request deletion as a) POV fork, b) lack of notability and c) promotion of a certain thought/agenda. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 07:35, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep it up please because the article has been improved and there is a corresponding article on Chinese Wikipedia. -- It's gonna be awesome! ✎ Talk♬ 10:25, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Per WP:OTHERLANGS, the argument to Keep the article because it exists in another language-Wikipedia is not valid. -The Gnome (talk) 09:09, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete as per nom. Also, info already mentioned in main Xi Jinping article, which is a more appropriate location. Jmertel23 (talk) 10:46, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment the corresponding article on the Chinese Wikipedia (zh:对习近平的个人崇拜) appears to translate as "Personal worship of Xi Jinping". I think this is closer to "Public relations image of Xi Jinping" than "Cult of Xi Jinping". The article itself uses terms like "official personal promotion of Xi Jinping" and "personal image of Xi Jinping" when restating the title. And contains headers like "Image public relations" and "TV promo". There is no clear grounds to use the word "cult", which is a POV term loaded with negativity and not supported by sources. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 10:51, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Someone was possibly going for an essay, then settled for cliff notes. Let's just say WP:TOOSOON, Henry. -The Gnome (talk) 19:48, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete POV fork and a poorly written sub-stub. -Zanhe (talk) 22:18, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete every major politician has a "cult" which needs to be described in their main page or a more neutral title like "public image of.." Sdmarathe (talk) 04:43, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * How about moving to Personal worship of Xi Jinping?-- It's gonna be awesome! ✎ Talk♬ 14:00, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That is the literal translation given by Google translate, but I believe it is inaccurate. I believe that in context the Chinese title correctly translates to Official public relations image of Xi Jinping. Looking into the subject in depth with regards to the naming guidelines, I have decided the acceptable title would be Public image of Xi Jinping. This is also what Sdmarathe suggested. The content would need to be neutral. You can look at articles like Public image of Vladimir Putin, Public image of Barack Obama and Public image of Bill Clinton among others that are titled in this way. These should indicate how a future Xi Jinping article could be laid out. Remember the Chinese Wikipedia has different policies to here and their article may not be acceptable, even if copied over literally. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 14:29, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The article has not been put up for deletion on account of the ostensible imprecision of its title. -The Gnome (talk) 09:05, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Any opinion if I gonna move it to Public image of Xi Jinping?-- It's gonna be awesome! ✎ Talk♬ 14:50, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I think a discussion about changing the article title is a bit of a moot point as the contents is lacking. The public image articles for Obama, Clinton and Putin are break-out articles from the main article, focussing on a certain aspect. The main article has a similar section, Xi Jinping, which I think has a better writing style. It may be an idea to focus on expanding this section and break out to a separate article once this section is more comprehensive. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 15:08, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think so too. Thanks for the opinion! -- It's gonna be awesome! ✎ Talk♬ 15:10, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
