George Chang
His party has absolutely no relevance in Taiwan, and there is no other claim of notability. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 06:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - I know precisely nothing about Taiwanese politics, but it seems to me that if he's the leader of a party on the island, particularly one which must have some sort of ties to other Communist parties (a large movement), he may end up being passingly notable.

 * Delete. George Chang is a common name, so the supporters of this article should provide us with some sources as evidence that one George Chang out there is the leader of the Taiwan Communist Party. So far the article seems unverifiable. --Metropolitan90 07:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - no verifiable information in the article, and my own attempts to verify turned up nothing via googling. -- Whpq 14:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete information is not verifiable due to lack of substance--Aquaman007 01:29, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Retool or delete. My attempts to find a Taiwanese Communist George Chang on Google had no success, though interestingly, there was a pro-independence George Chang who was arrested by the authorities. Our article on the Taiwanese Communist Party says that the island's communists decamped to the mainland at the end of the Civil War, and that "promoting communism" is still illegal. It says that there basically is no Communist Party on Taiwan and that all efforts to start one have been abortive. The man who is trying to start one is called Dai Chung. Thus, there is a question whether this article is of any truth. However, we might want to have an article on the independence activist, who doesn't have a lot of hits, but apparently had a moderately notable arrest in 1992, or one of the other George Changs that some editors would insert into the article, only to have them deleted. --Groggy Dice 12:06, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
