Article has been around since 2002, but seems full of speculation, rumor, original research. Sources are almost all self-referential or self-published. RJASE1 Talk  06:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing currently in the article establishes its notability, and nothing is sourced.Sarcasticidealist 22:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and Cleanup. It's a bona-fide government sponsored program, the problem is finding English sources. Chinese sources should not be hard to find. By the way, the original nominator may want to re-tag this page (someone deleted the AfD tag from the article). Wl219 14:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep but Massive trimming and cleanup. Government-sponsored program, reasonably known in Taiwan. AQu01rius (User &#149; Talk) 17:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Google search shows a journal article, an online magazine article, a book at Amazon. This program is almost a rite of passage for college-aged overseas Chinese in the US. --Ideogram 18:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and Cleanup Article is now footnoted and attibutable to reliable sources such as the Canadian National Paperthe "Toronto Star" and the Taiwan National Journal These two articles substantiate the relevance and length of the program in English.  Chinese source includes the Institution that ran the program in Taiwan for 40 years, the China Youth Corps.  The relevance and length of the program can be substantiated there in Chinese.  As previous commentator said, it is considered a rite of passage for many overseas Chinese internationally --Studydoc 20:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
