Liu Bei Lao Shi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No reliable sources are given in the article, while a search using both its Chinese name and its romanization is inconclusive. I can only see Facebook and Blogspot links. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:18, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - Note that the article's creator appears to be the book's author. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:22, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete looks like a promotion of something others have not bothered to write about. Notability, therefore, does not appear to be present. Anastasia Bykova (talk) 01:20, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete No holdings in WorldCat, or references to the author's name, no significant third-party coverage; fails WP:NBOOK. COI aside, I don't think this gets past WP:GNG. Of course, language barriers being what they are this might be massively popular in Malaysia, but who knows. Maybe a Malaysian Wikipedian might stop by and help us. § FreeRangeFrog croak 07:33, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete unless non-English sources are found. I haven't found any English sources despite multiple detailed searches including Google News so it must've been primarily published in Asia. However, one final search provided this (second result from the top) but when clicked, it says "error occurred". Using the Chinese name, I searched Chinese Wikipedia but didn't find a relevant article. SwisterTwister   talk  22:37, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * english sources are unnecessary; it needs to be searched for Chinese sources by someone familiar with the language. wikipedia is not at that state where it can be concluded that anything not listed there is non-notable,  DGG ( talk ) 06:33, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I didn't search Chinese Wikipedia to see if it was notable there, I actually searched to see if there was an article that could help this one. SwisterTwister   talk  18:54, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete lack of sources isn't actually very relevant here as the article doesn't actually claim notability at all, which is unsuprising for a book released in the last few months that apparently wasn't a hit. Looks like the article is self-promotional as well. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  01:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
