S chips scandals

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Sourced largely to dead links, and as far as I can see there is pretty much nothing to support the proposition that there are "S Chip Scandals" out there. If there are, there should be convictions for fraud in the sources. This was nominated for deletion in 2011 along with other "scandal" articles but this one, unlike the others, resulted in a "no consensus" determination. Time to put this awful article out of its misery. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 20:37, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge - to a section in S chip, seems to be 'reliable', links may be repairable. additional ref business insider Jonpatterns (talk) 13:25, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Tentative Delete. All bar three of the links given are dead. Of the other three, two are subscription-only and one of those looks to be just a report of a winding-up and not about scandals in general (so it looks like they're perhaps being used for OR/synthesis or passing mentions?) and the third is just the front page of something (so probably a redirected dead link). Searching (and ignoring blogs and forums) I find passing mentions of, for example, "S-chip accounting scandal!", "The S-chips scandal of 2008-09" and "the S-Chips scandal in Singapore" (attributed to "says an analyst") , but I can't find any in-depth sources covering what the scandal actually was (The businessinsider.com source found by Jonpatterns only contains a passing of mention of "S-chips scandals [corporate scandals surrounding Chinese companies listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange]", and that's quoting someone else). It seems likely that the "scandal" existed as a concept, but without any actual descriptive coverage I don't see how Wikipedia can host an article about it. I'd hope maybe someone can find repairs to the broken links so we can see if there's any actual coverage? Squinge (talk) 10:54, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 * The first link is fixable with Wayback Machine, probably the other are too. One probably with S Chip is not everyone uses that term for Singapore chip.Jonpatterns (talk) 22:50, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The sources would need to support the position that there are indeed scandals involving S Chip makers, and that would have to be the focus of the articles. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 17:50, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
