Hagen Troy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Shameless (self?)-promotion by two (or perhaps just one?) closely-connected single-purpose account(s), User:Taylor.monki and User:Yingjie.huang; it's hard to tell through all the Chinese text, but appears completely to fail WP:NM. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:31, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - The article needs serious clean-up, but I did find a decent number of interviews, notably this by The Strait Times (actually ST Communities, but it's still The Strait Times). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:38, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. User:Yingjie.huang has now been blocked as a sock of User:Taylor.monki. I suggest that if there is to be an article on Hagen Troy (and I'm as yet far from convinced that there should be), it should be a clean start, and that this COI mess should be deleted to make way for it.

 * Delete - Non-notable, promotional. stcommunities is a user posted site, user submits story and website publishes it. Caffeyw (talk) 09:35, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm not sure if this proves ST Communities' reliability, but I can see that a number of Wikipedia articles use it as a source. of course, if consensus determines that ST Communities is not reliable, then the articles which use it can should have new sources.

 * Note. poses a valid question about Straits Times Communities, I think; I've posted about it at Reliable sources. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:34, 1 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Without endorsing STCommunities in general for everything, I trust the specific article in question, as it is from The New Paper, just reprinted on The Straits Times. As they're owned by the same holding company, I tend to believe it's a good reprint.

 * Thanks for your opinion. I've now removed some of the more obviously unreliable sources from the article, but am hampered by my total ignorance even of what kind of Chinese text much of it is written in. The remaining sources are these:
