 * delete wholly promotional and while that could be fixed sources seem very lacking to do so – the ones provided seem mostly to be recycled press releases and a search turns up only mentions and promotional sources.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 20:01, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep – The only source I could find in English was this, which called it an imitator of Alibaba. But the Chinese sources appear to be better. Admittedly my Chinese is not that great, but to me they read more like regular market news stories, not like press releases. As it stands the article is written like an advertisement, but that can be fixed. An article like this is useful when researching topics like construction equipment. There tend to be a lot of hits to Chinese b2b sites, so it helps to have some information about the particular site. – Margin1522 (talk) 20:28, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:TNT The website might be notable, but the article reads rather promotional. It was created by a possible WP:SPA. He wrote a spammy article (zh:世界工厂网国际站, which has been speedied for three times and salted) about the website on Chinese wikipedia, and soon translated it into english.
