Heung Shing

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The article does not make a good case (or even a poor case) for meeting WP:GNG. The Chinese article seems a bit better, but it translates poorly and I am not sure if it does or if it sources are good. BEFORE in English failed to find much, but maybe sources to rescue this exist in Chinese? Confusing content doesn't help with our article (it's a fictional city but it has a history section that suggests it has real archeological history? Ditto for geography).

 * According to the zh.wp article, it's just a fictional city, and the and  subheadings here appear to be written in in-universe tone. I'll make time to check the sources after work. Folly Mox (talk) 16:11, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, that didn't work. I did look for sources just now. This source does verify it's a fictional city used in exam questions for Hong Kong highschoolers, and goes on at some length about different fictional elements of the city and which years they were made up. It might not be an independent source; I have no idea how their academic system works, but I feel like the host for that source is involved with the administration of the test in which "Heung Hsing" appears.This source indicates it also lends its name to some sort of educational programming; unclear if the topic is the same or if it's just using the same words. Chinese sources indicate that "Heung Shing"s native name is also shared by: a historical toponym mentioned in the Shuijing, near modern Yongcheng; a chain of hotels in Taiwan; a botanical garden in Suzhou. At least.It's not super clear to me whether this topic is an educational conceit with something of a broader currency, like Alice and Bob, Foobar, or Spherical cow; or something super niche, only of interest to highschoolers, highschool educators, and test designers.I was low key thinking initially that a merge into Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education might be appropriate, but I'm not sure where in the article would be a good spot for it. It has a lot of incoming mainspace links, but all of them seem to be via transclusion of Template:Education in Hong Kong (I definitely may have missed some; I'm pretty sleepy).

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep. I've expanded and added sources to the article. Cunard (talk) 12:14, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Wonderful job. I am ready to withdraw unless anyone else sees some problems? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:10, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
