Sources are misleading, and do not appear to meet WP:BLP standards. The article is lacking in verifiable info, and instead contains large blocks of promotional silliness. Reads more like a badly proof-read press release than an article. Appears to be vanity project. Web search finds absolutely nothing usable to support notability. Perhaps someone who speaks Mandarin or Korean can find reliable sources, but I seriously doubt it. Grayfell (talk) 02:04, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - see WP:BASIC or WP:GNG, nothing to establish notability of the person. Since this is WP:BLP it needs to be strictly verifiable to merit inclusion, so what's left is blank article about a topic for which no one can establish proper notability. Manager of a possibly notable organization isn't notable. Also "CHARITY MAGAZINE" (stop yelling) isn't a detailed enough ref for AGF to force me to believe it. common sense say this is promotion. aside from shanghaibang.net, whatever that is, the only other ref is the website for the company that the article is mostly about. It should set off a few red flags that the article was created and written by a blocked single-purpose account called "Shijingsteel", the name of the company the article is mostly about. - Metal lunchbox (talk) 17:34, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe shanghaibang.net is a Korean-language news site about China. Like I said, it's possible there is an actual source on there, but I don't know how to find it, and the link to the front of the site makes me skeptical. Grayfell (talk) 22:17, 11 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is simply an unreferenced biography of living person, and as such needs to be deleted under WP:BLP. I say "unreferenced" because the sources that are cited ether do not even mention the subject or are not detailed enough to verify. Beside that, the article is pure wp:promotion and almost certailny an wp:autobiography. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:39, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. This page is written by himself. He is owner of Shijingsteel in Shanghai, China. Please, look at the editing history. The first editor's id is shijingsteel. I'm Korean and I can speak Mandarin Chinese. And I'm now in Shanghai. You can trust me. By the day, I made this page yesterday blank. I cannot understand English Wikipedia's rule. I'm really sorry about that. --Philobiblic (talk) 05:52, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
