List of pro-China individuals

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I can’t see how this is a valid list. Various people may from time to time say things that indicate they support the PRC on one matter or another, but peoples’ apparent political opinions can’t be the basis of an encyclopaedic listing. Mccapra (talk) 21:13, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Delete same situation as List of Films that Pass the Bechedel Test and Life Spans of Home Appliances— list article with no criteria that attempts to drag Wikipedia into yet another culture war by oversimplifying complex topics. Dronebogus (talk) 23:55, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Hopelessly vague concept for a list. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:21, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Surprised it lasted as long as it did. pburka (talk) 21:23, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Complete failure of WP:OR and WP:BLP. Jumpytoo Talk 21:45, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete – much too broad; fundamentally susceptible to original research. Such a list can only exist if there are objective inclusion criteria and clear coverage of the list in reliable sources; neither is true here. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:19, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Being "pro-China" is not exactly a well-defined position, so what exactly are the WP:LISTCRITERIA here? For that matter, what are the exclusion criteria? It's perfectly possible for one individual to hold opinions that may be construed as "pro-China" in some aspects and other opinions that may be construed as "anti-China" in other aspects (such as being in favour of China's domestic policy but opposed to its foreign policy, or vice versa). How would we construct the corresponding list for any other country? This article comes across as an attempt to name and shame, whether or not that was the intention of its creator. This is not WP:BLP-compliant, and even if it could somehow be made that way (with proper WP:LISTCRITERIA and way, way better sourcing), this version should still be deleted per WP:TNT considering the WP:BLP issues.

 * Delete Pro-China how? You could praise its climate policy yet complain about the Uyghur genocide, for instance. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 04:34, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
